Like Bob says I leave my main down while trolling, however I don't have a bow mount electric and opted not to have one. My main motor is a Yamaha F150 & kicker is a Yamaha T9.9.... When I get home from a fishing outing, I lower both with a slight tilt which on the main would be the max trim up and leave them there until next adventure, even long-term storage. This keeps oil from seeping into cylinders preventing an oil burn at start. When both motors are fully extended down, they have a fwd angle.
