I have an evinrude 175 ficht.

It has an lever arm thing that swings in to brace the engine so that the weight is not on the hydraulics.

I agree that trailering with the weight on the pistons could cause damage.

On my other boat (yea I know), I put a 2X4 in between the engind and bracket, and bring it back down again to rest on the wood.
