[QUOTE="thomasdgs, post: 461251, member: 22880"] The first year I had my boat and motor I learned a tough lesson at the expense of my 80's Merc's immaculate original paint. Towing a boat with the outboard down on a gravel road will wreck the paint on your motor's lower end. After 45 minute of gravel with the motor down (strapped tight to prevent bouncing) the paint on one side of my lower end is more chip than not. My outboard is only a 25 hp, but i transport it on the boat (bolted on all season), so I now use a transom saver. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20170604_121712.jpg"]100316._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
