Re: OEM support for trailering

That reminds me of the the 35 HP Johnson RD’s in the late 1950’s had that horizontal pin on the transom clamps that pushed in (and wasn’t there a version that screwed in?) to hold the motor up, which if I remember right was for road clearance when trailering – but again – it does nothing for the transom. Maybe more important, It also would hold the motor up during launch or putting it on the trailer – good to have if you don’t know how to tighten the nut to put more tension in the tilt hinge.
