Traveling with Trolling motor

[BearLakeFishGuy]

I leave my kicker motor on the boat, in the down position. I then use a ratchet strap that goes around the shaft of the kicker and attach it to a U-bolt on my boat's transom. This keeps it from bouncing around on bumps and takes the stress off the transom. I also have a plate on my transom where the kicker is mounted to further dissipate any stress to the transom. Been doing it this way for 20+ years and never had a problem. I use a motor-toter (transom saver) to prop up my main motor when towing the boat since there is no clearance between the skeg and the pavement.
