BB is right. There is no reason to leave this small motor on transom while trailing. Take it off, wrap in something and put on whatever side it should be put on.

I hope you know that BOLA is not a "boat ramp town". As I recall, there one or two in town center (TAD damaged after Odille). Nothing on the camps North.

Hola,,I do think the draining of the oil and filter and keeping inside the vechicle has many bennies...# 1 it wont disappear..# 2 those "topes" come out of no where !! # 3 it wont crack the transom.#4 the motor stays good looking.. .and make sure the impeller is fresh and you have extra set of wheel bearings,,tire,,prop and check you trailer and boat many times a day while towing...and take it EASY and not "power" drive...tight Lines...K&T'''PS. WARNING !.do not stow motor in boat...WARNING !!!!!!! and the oil must be mercury or Honda...filled from the bottom up..the only part you might find for that motor might be a spark plug at a auto place

A little addendum from experience; bring your own extra plugs, oil filter (if applicable) and Yamalube oil. Even though there's a Yamaha shop in Sta.Rosalia, they didn't have plugs for my 9.9. The local parts store gave much reas-surances the plugs hey sold me were correct, I found out they weren't. They worked, but now I buy extras Stateside. Lower case oil in Baja is fine, buy a small manual pump for changing it yourself. And ALWAYS use Sta-bil, Yamaha makes their own version also. Good product, good company.

I call topes "D-OH!-pez" because that's what you say while rubbing the top of your head when you inevitably don't see it in time.
