[QUOTE="TriBull, post: 503205, member: 32176"] I think of myself as a resourceful hack… So I’m on the Florida Gulf Coast, in the cross hairs of hurricane Idalia! I have a 1974 12’ StarCraft w/ 9.9 Yamaha. To secure my rig, I use one of those corkscrew dog tethers to tie down the tongue of my trailer in the yard. I also leave my outboard on the boat in order to have the added benefit of weight on the back. It’s crude, but it worked great during our last hurricane, even before I had the outboard. But given the higher expected wind speeds, I’m happy to have the outboard mounted for this storm. Any additional suggestions or ideas is greatly appreciated…. I’ll be sure to give an after-storm update, once I’m out of the shelter! :) [/QUOTE]
