daft question from a newbie

Post by georgewright »

hi all
thanks to clyde outboard services getting my 42 yr old evenrude 18 horsepower going
im taking my 535 to loch earn for first time this Saturday ,now I thought the engine ,would pull up to a horizontal position for driving and launching. and lock into position
however mine pulls up but does not seem to be a lever or lock to lock into horizontal position for towing,
there are 4 lockable pin holes in the outboard bracket from dead vertical to about 4 inch off vertical
is this correct?
any advice appreciated as I thought it was law to only tow with outboard up?
thanks
george

use lorry straps. these are cheap and will keep then engine in the right position and glad you are happy!
