Was coming out of my first winterization being a new boat owner. I liked the idea of putting the trailer up on blocks to take the weight off the tires for the 6 mos of storage. Stored it with the outdrive down as well... Well I'm jacking the trailer to get the blocks out one at a time and thinking that "boy these springs must be stiff, I never noticed how high up the fender is above the wheel". Well of course I forgot to raise the outdrive before doing this and all the weight was sitting on the skeg!!. Didnt appear to do any harm...just had that dumb feeling when making a new mistake.
