When you are preparing to tow an out bored boat what should you do to prevent damage to the engine while on the road?

Before towing an outboard boat, ensure the engine is securely trimmed up to prevent damage from road debris. Remove the propeller to avoid potential damage and ensure it doesn't rotate during transport. Additionally, secure the boat properly on the trailer to prevent shifting, which could impact the engine. Lastly, check the boat's weight and balance to ensure safe towing.
