Re: No tilt??
Towing mine with motor down is no problem, if that is OK. Sad to say though, mine has nothing to help lift it...not heavy I guess by comparison but heavy enough for me, LOL. At this point I just have to put up with it but it will be a two person job, because the latch under the motor I have to release puts me in a bind and I can't lift motor by myself and then put transom saver under it. Maybe I just need practice, but awkward. The big thing is now what to do as far as rasing and lowering this. Here is my question, (maybe a new post on this question?), my plan all along was to tie this 55 to a 5.5 evinrude I picked up a while back, and have the abilty to steer using either motor, even if one was in raised position....I have the connector from Iboats that looks to do just that but if the motor is up on the transom saver it can't be steered so both can't be connected full time. What would you folks do, amd let me explain why I ask first. About 60-70% of the time we will be fishing is lakes restricted to 10hp or less. So I either lift the big motor or take off prop. To steer by the 5.5 tiller looks like might be a little difficult given the boat is deep, and 16' long. Might be a bit hard to see where I am going and there are trees in the water... Given that would you leave both motors down and connected,or, unhook whichever motor we won't be using and use the transom saver to hold up the bigger one, or go ahead and use the tiller, maybe with an extender and forget it? Any problem using the transom saver in water??
