Motor Protection On Gravel Roads

[Fishoil]

What do you do to protect your lower unit and prop. from flying gravel when trailering on gravel roads? I was thinking of slipping a couple of burlap bags over the lower unit and tying them in place but am wondering if somebody has a better idea.

Depending on the size of motor you have, on long hauls or gravel roads i will allways
pull the motor off the transom (25hp-40hp) and place it in the truck, or place it on a tire in the bottom off the boat. If pulling the motor off the transom is not an option i'v seen guys use tire intertubes and slip them over the lower unit.

Great idea!! I'll see if I can find an old tractor inner tube to cut up. Thanks.
