After reading about how much running the I/O in <br />trailer up position in shallow water shortens the life of an I/O I was wondering if there are electric trolling motors that could be transom<br />mounted and had electrical or hydraulic lift to<br />get out of the way. The engine mount trollers from Minn-Kota wouln't help because those work in the I/O down mode. Is it OK to keep the engine running in neutral in trailer up to keep the batteries charged? I don't know enough about where the mechanical disconnect on my 84 Mercruiser 140 18' Century is in relation to the to the parts that are damaged by running in trailer up.<br />If anyone has any idea's I would appreciate<br />your advice
