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. Rummy In a message dated 5/31/2012 8:45:25 P.M.

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?
