These Supports Have Been Working Pretty Good For Trailering

What is the advantage of these over the factory flip down rest? I just run my engine up, flip it down and let it down till it just takes the pressure off the hydraulics.

i think it is a popular thing to trailer using the "flip down" to rest the engine on while trailering. not sure if instructions for the f250 (my engine) generalize to other motors, but the manual for the f250 says specifically to NOT use the flip down for trailering. i know that the flip down can be used to secure the engine when you want to retract the trim rods fully (for whatever reason). also when leaving the boat in the water, to take the pressure off the hydraulics and to get the LU high enough to clear the water.

I use the wedge thing on my f-115, only one on the left hand side. Why only one? Because I have a grease fitting on the right hand side that will break if I put it on that side.

My owner's manual says that the little clip is not to be used for transporting.

I agree.. Just bought the MY Wedge and so far it seems to be just what I needed.
