Mercury has tested and approved the Line-Tender. In fact they have used them at floating docks during the Miami Boat show. Unless the water is really rough there is little to no stress on the on the suction cup or cowling.
Thanks Terry!

Not sure if I like this idea. Those cowlings seem to scratch easily.

I think the answer would be to have offshoredrillin laser cut a piece of 3M clear-bra, or the like for the top of each of the motors. I see a lot of things get set on top of outboards, including drinks and cameras. Having the top protected with a clear-bra material would be the ticket, and then you could use a suction cup or anything else up there.
*It can't have too much suction though, as that can pull up the clear-bra.

That application was for triples. Not sure about twins?

It's fine on twins or quads too. Some of the quad guys used two but it's not necessary.
