Good grief man. You must be a relative of Hercules. If that's a 9.8  
Tohatsu, you lugging around almost 100 pounds each time you want to sail. Put  
motor on lift in full upright position and like Bob suggested, add some  
additional support to both the lift and the motor with lines tied off to strong  
points on the stern. You may have to add additional weight forward (tongue  
weight) if you begin to fishtail while towing.

I  trailer my boat on every outing and packing the motor in and out of   
the truck gets tiresome . Does anyone trailer with their boat with  the  
motor attached to the motor lift?  Would it be better to  lower the  
lift and tilt up the motor? Good idea or bad idea? See the  attached  
photo of my setup?
Thanks,
Bill
