I don't see anywhere that has a travel lock on my motor.. I'll probably get a transom saver and strap like Mayhem said. Im sure He knows this boat better than I do.

I have long driven a 16 GDLT on a little 1436 alumacraft that has been a LOT of fun. one of the best investments of my life. but I just upgraded to a 1648 with a 31 mud buddy short shaft and I know very little about it. How do I anchor the handle on this short shaft so the motor doesn't flop around while Im driving?? do I just let it swing freely or do I use a bungee tie down on the motor handle? or what?? Thanks guys! The Gee |

this screwed into your floor and attach a short rope..tie your handle down to it or you can do a rope across your boat and make a loop around your handle so it cant move but should have a travel lock on it |

No travel lock on it? Is it an early production model? |

It's in right hand side of frame, you pick motor up while it's straight and push ball in. Locks motor up and straight for travel. Samsung S5 |

I used the ratchet strap that held my boat on the trailer. I bolted a small piece of strap to the main strap right where the handle met the strap. The motor still moved a lil but not enough to hurt anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Use a transom saver and run a gunnel strap across that rear bench looped around the handle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There is a notch it sits in when in the travel lock position to keep it from swingin side to side. |

Will do, thank you! I really appreciate it. Any idea what length of transom saver I should get? or are they all adjustable? maybe it would be easier to text me.. 801-991-0577. Thanks dude! |

I used a transom saver and place the skeg in the wedge. Works well and the motor does not move when traveling. I tried posting a picture, but the file would not upload. |

I just make sure no one is inside my boat turning the steering wheel and that keeps my shaft from moving during travel. CC
