  • Transport block,wedge ?

    I would like to know what is the recomended transport block support for a
    FT60D, i cannot transport with the leg in the fully down position.

    If boats.net has a part number i would like to look at that as well

    Regards Linc

    Either use tilt lock on motor bracket or a transom saver between gearcase and trailer.

        Yamaha doesn't offer a rubber support for the single cylinder power trim models

          The tilt lock lever can be bent, broken or damaged by the bouncing up and down of the motor while trailering. Buy a Transom Saver(maybe $25) and use it, so you can trailer your rig without risk of damage. They call it a Transom Saver because it was primarily designed to prevent damage to the transom of the boat by the weight of the outboard motor bouncing around while trailering, but it helps prevent damage to both. The bigger and heavier the outboard, the more some type of device is needed, but it's not a good thing for your outboard to be just flopping around back there, or worse yet breaking a skeg while coming out of a driveway. Good Luck!
