I own a 12' port-bote (that's a folding boat for those of you who are not familiar). I currently run MinnKota RipTide 55 and have a lot of fun on the lake.
I am considering more power for the action in the bay. I am looking at the Suzuki DF6S. It is attractive because of the light weight (less than 60 lbs).
HEre's the question: Because it's a folding boat I need to remove the engine and transport it inside my SUV. I will have to lay it down for the drive to and from the waterfront.
I have tried to find an online pdf of the owner's manual to see if this is possible but I can't find one. Why is it so hard to find owner's manual's online anyway?
Any owner's of the DF6 out there want to share some info and/or experience?
Thanks.

You can do this, just make sure to keep the correct side down. The general rule of thumb is handle down, but there is usually a sticker indicating side up/down.
