Hi. I transport my 14' jon boat to the ramp in the bed of the truck with a bed extender because I have nowhere to keep a trailer and the boat extends past the back of the extender by about 2 or 3 feet.
I just upgraded to a 15hp from a 6 and the motor is much heavier. I'm thinking i'm going to want to haul the motor laying in the bed next to the boat instead of on the transom like I used to so I don't put too much stress on the rear of the boat.
Is it alright to transport the motor like this with gas in the carburetor? Or should I run the carb. out of gas first?
Thanks for any advice,
Mike
