Towing with motor up or down

I think that is the purpose of the lock, to keep the motor up during transit so it cant fall.

Dunno. Guy claimed he was Honda certified and that's what he was
taught. The brackets (I'm only talking Honda...no other motor) are
only for holding up the motor during maint. on the motor trim/tilt.

Honda manual says "down" if possible or use one of those support bars.

Your right Mike--just read it myself. Yes I am a Doubting Thomas. Can't remember where I got the info to transport in the tilted position. Should have read my manual more thoroughly. I got stuck on the prop clearance thing. Honda does have a lot of built in forgivness. We've trailered in the tilted position against the stops for almost 30000 miles mostly on poor road serfaces. Many miles on dirt roads, 2 trips to Alaska and so far all is well. This years Alaska trip will be the El and Bill way. Can't be much of anything there way that isn't tried and true on a 22 with twin Hondas.
