Have a 2004 Alpha I Gen 2 outdrive with skegguard. I installed skegguard on it when new based on this forum.<br /><br />I then forgot to raise outdrive and drug outdrive about 5 feet up ramp. Just minor scratches which I can buff out with wet/dry sandpaper. <br /><br />Trim works fine all the way up and down but I am new to boating and wondered if any damage could be done to trim when this happens. <br /><br />I fully raised and lowered outdrive without difficulty. I did notice that on the way down that an additional whine does occur. I never tried to listen before so I don't know if new.<br /><br />Has anyone ever damaged trim in any way by failing to raise outdrive and driving 5 feet?
