I just bought my first gas motor that I'm actually going to use. It's going on a 12 foot aluminum fishing boat. I know lot's of guys keep their much heavier motors on their boats year round. My motor weighs about 40 pounds. The only thing I'm concerned with is my boat is fairly light weight. Is it safe to transport my boat on it's trailer with the motor attatched or will that put too much stress on the transom on rough roads? If I can, I'll bungee the motor in place so it doesn't bounce around. I'm just worried about stress cracks. With my electric, I always just tossed it in the back. Thanks in advance folks.
