Re: outdrive support

You can purchase a manufacturers product or make your own. Mine works fine, it's the last two rungs of an aluminium ladder cut of and placed between the tilt stop and the base of the tilt mechanism. It's worked fine for 5 years now. I wouldn't trailer without it as the stressors on a tilt/trim on the road are more sudden and jarring than when in the water.<br />Ross
