I spent the weekend working the Pensacola Boat show. There was one used
trawler, which had a inflatable with a 15 hp OMC which was tilted on Weaver
davits, the motor was past the horizontal (the head was about 10 degrees
lower than the lower unit!-the engine did not look like a 4 stroke) I did
not get a chance to ask the owner if there were any problems, but I have
always felt that it was not good to take a motor right out of the water and
store it with the head down--water into the cylinders is a possability. Am I
missing something?
