    Default Dumb Boat Question?


    May be the wrong place to ask this question but I figure there are a few knowledgeable folks on here. I haven't enough room to park my boat out of the weather,
    but I do have a cover on it, everything but the prop. With the motor trimmed up and the prop catching all this rain, where does the water go? Told you it was a dumb question. Lol!

    It sits in the collar of the lower unit just behind the prop until you lower the motor or it dries out.

    Ever seen what happens when a water line freezes? Not a good idea to store it trimmed up in the winter. Shouldnt be a problem otherwise.

    I have allows heard don't leave your motor trimmed up in the winter but I have never seen anything happen to a motor that was trimmed up all winter. Other than the winter it doesn't hurt anything.

    You could always trim the motor down when it is sitting at your house.

    I trim down when I get off the lake and let it drain. Transport up, then at home, down.
