We just used a carpeted piece of 2x4 with dimples drilled into the wood that fit the protrustions on our Yamaha outboard and tilt the motor down on it. Pictures in Will-C's album in a sub album titled trailer modifications. We have a pretty serious lag bolt going into the end of the 2x4 through a link of chain holding a piece of heavy cord connected to a clip that is attached to a stainless steel eye on our generator bracket to prevent one of our fellow motorists from wearing the 2x4 on their windshield if it should ever fall out. We have about 20k worth road miles of trailering the boat so far with no problems. Pretty simple to do. Cheaper than dirt.
