I can't believe that I did this. I picked up my 240 Sun Deck today after having it commissioned for the coming summer fun. When I got it to its destination, I lowered the stern drive about a inch from the asphalt.
So what did I do next? I went and unhooked from my truck's hitch, and commenced to cranking the tongue off the hitchball. It wasn't till I was putting on the boat cover that I noticed the stern drive was digging into the asphalt! Needless to say, I went back (quite quickly!) to the tongue jack and lowered it to get the stern drive from supporting the weight of the boat's stern off the asphalt.
Has anyone ever done this? Should I be concerned about damage? The bottom of the stern drive seems to be ok, just a little scuffed up.
