Are the lengths of the boats on trailers with the motor trimmed all the way down or up? If up, how much shorter is it with the motor trimmed down?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My understanding is that storage lengths are with the motor trimmed down. The lengths are the shortest possible way of storing the boat. Different engines can make the length longer too.1997 Pantera Classic1997 Mercury 200 EFI 25 Pitch TempestNo Jack Plate

So if its the shortest possible way I assume that means with the motor also turned to one side?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not 100% sure, but I think its with the motor straight…I seem to recall the reps on here answering that turning the motor can buy a couple of inches, in threads where people are really trying to squeeze into a garage.

Thanks guys. Im not sure this will even end up mattering because Im pretty sure Ill have to put the boat in at a diagonal across the garage in which case the corners of the boat will be the limiting factor and the motor will have plenty of room in the corner. Im hoping it fits!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The shortest measurement was with the motor fully trimmed down and not turned to either side. BCB

I have the Eyra model. I measured it for you, 264 inch with swing tongue. Mine has a Mercury and I believe the Yamaha adds another 6 inches.

On a 150, does anyone know how much turning the motor fully to one side shaves off?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
