Stern Drive Question

(1/4) > >>

340mopar:
When transporting, do you trim the Stern Drives up, down, other?

archareon:
when i transport my stinger over a large distance , i take them of... but i've got TRS drives (6 bolds- gearbox in the boat)

340mopar:
This trip is almost entirely interstate, and about 4 hours worth of driving.

stinger390x:
NEVER leave the dock until you lift the drives! You might bust a skeg or chip your props or they might begin to spin in mid air as your cruising down the road.

If you are local then leaving props on are ok but I have seen long distance haulers pulling their boats down the Interstates with the props spinning in the wind. This is very hard on the bearings and will usually cause failure in the water. If you have a smaller craft some people even put the shifter into gear before leaving the dock.
I own a larger offshore model so I remove my props completely for long hauls to Poker Runs. I leave the props on if I'm just going down the road of popping into the nearby lake a few miles away.

340mopar:
This is great information... the trips I would make would be about 1, 1-1/2 or 3 hours depending on which lake...
