| Post subject: | okay to shrinkwrap with sterndrive up? |
I have a dilemma. My boat is winterized, and I plan on having it shrinkwrapped to store. I would prefer to have the outdrive "down" for storage. However, I need to have it up to trailer home after shrinkwrapping. Leaving a "door" in the shrinkwrap won't help, because I won't be able to open the sunsport engine cover to remove battery after lowering outdrive. Is there any drawback to storing with trim up?? Thanks... Dave |

It's not good for the bellows, but a lot of people do it anyway. Do you have a transom trim switch? If so, you could have the battery removed before the shrink wrap is applied, rig up a patch cable (a "pigtail" so to speak) and let it hang out from under the shrink. Then just temporarily connect a battery or a jumper pack to the pigtail to run the trim pump. |

Couldn't you just loosen the hydraulic rams and manually drop it down? |

I believe that there is a release that allows you to move the sterndrive in the event of a pump failure. Take a look at your book or a service manual. |
