I have a 9.9 horse kicker motor on my boat. What is the correct position to trailer it? In other words do you trailer it tilted or in a vertical position?
Thank you.

 

vertical takes most of the stress off the transom as well as the tilt bracket on the outboard caused by the engine bouncing around as the boat is trailered....

 

I trailered my O.B.Vertical

 

with a 9.9 if you can remove it from the boat, that is your best choice. If not, always trailer an outboard tilted

 

If you had a larger outboard motor that could possibly damage the lower unit by dragging it - I would agree with the above post - assuming, of course, that you also had a support for the lower unit attached to the trailer. If there is ground clearance (which the 9.9 certainly has) then vertical would be the trailering method of choice.

 

I have an old 15 Horse on a 12' Livingston. Built and installed a transom saver just to be safe.
