I currently have an auxiliary motor bracket that has the hydraulic cylinder in it which makes lifting the motor very easy. However, I do not like the fact that when in the up position, it has a lot of play in it. You can actually grab the motor mounting plate and wiggle it back and forth a bit. Because of this, I am afraid the motor is going to bounce around a lot more than it should. When it is in the down position, it is rock solid and doesnt move at all. So I am kind of afraid to trailer it with the motor on there. I am also getting a new motor that may be in the very upper range of its capacity. I used to have a light motor on here (about 40 pounds or less and only put it on when I was goign to use it, not while trailering) and I am wondering if I should get a new one that is rated at about 20-30 pounds over the weight of the motor I may be getting, and hopefully not bounce. I was looking at this one at cabellas, Motor bracket <br />the stainless steel mounting bracket for $124.99. Anyone have any experience with this? Is it pretty easy to lift a 80-90 pound motor with the springs as compared to the hydraulic? And does anyone know if this is solid when up and if you can trailer with it? A dealer told me that with my mount, the manufacturer does not recommend trailering with it. If this is the best route to take, I figure I could sell the old one, as it is this particular one I found on ebay Current Bracket Which route should I go? Thanks.
