1995 force 120 outboard engine storage

[rzkas]

Hi and how are you? my 120 force is mounted on a 95 bayliner 1800 ls. i am having trouble to keep the engine straight up or upright for storage. i tried my best to drop/ trim the engine down. it went all the way till it almost touching the ground but it still not in an upright position. i will say semi upright. how can i get it upright? i was told the best way to store this engine and to keep it from being frozen is to store it in an upright position so all water will drain out of the engine.

Now it is not straight up or upright and i have no more room to keep going down because it almost touch the ground.

what do i need to do to keep my engine safe and ready for spring and summer. it winterized already and i have the entire boat and engine covered with a water proof material.

thanks for all ideas.

To raise the motor so you can drop it down somemore.Put wood blocks under the tires .Use 2x6 or 2x8. A couple of them will lift it up enough to lower your motor.J
