Leave Big motor down?

[MSM1970]

Interesting, thank you.
I see by the date Mercury published that four years after I ordered my boat.

Not to say one way or the other is better or worse,  But here is a that anyone can do,  remember when doing anything  guy always wants a warm fuzzy feeling about stuff, 

Grab your skeg push up and down, if it moves Imagine how much it is moving doing 70, it goes by the same principals as if you have a board sticking out the back of you truck bed bouncing up and down,  laws of physics and leverage. 

You as a boat owner have to make the best decision with the most information available,  To get the warm fuzzy feeling about your boat. I know we have invested a lot of time and money, always want to do the best for our boats.,
