    2017 225

    I have 2017 225 Evinrude that keeps turning one way or another during transport and hitting my Raptors. Is there a way to stop this?

    Due to this wheel bracket MotorMate says their product won't work. All the ones I see are for engines with exposed shafts.

    It's just an anode, remove it maybe?
    I use the Motormate for mine. Not sure I have that anode on it, will have to check.

    I emailed them a picture and they didn't think it would work.. Maybe I'll just order it and see

    The rods and anode sit above it. They don't engage when the device is in use.

    Strange thing is they make it specifically for the G2, and they say it won't work?

    Tip: Place it in the bolt holes first then carefully lower motor and position the end on the plate as it lowers.
