Hi.<br />I have to travel app. 70 miles each way to my fishing spot, sometimes it's 140 miles each way if we go to the bigger loughs. I usually tie my 10Hp 2-stroke Mariner to the back of the front seat (upright) but want to build a wooden frame to hold the outboard in the boat flat. Which way can I lay it? With the transom bracket facing upwards or downwards?
<br /><br />With 2 stroke engines it really doesn't matter much. To protect the tiller handle and control knobs, etc. I usually transport them with the transom bracket up.<br />Good luck.
