Re: Easy question for winter storage
Thanks for the responses!!
The engines have motor plates...no alignment issues
Drives were pulled and everything greased and checked.
The boat stays indoors.. I think I'll keep them @ neutral
I do think that next year I will leave the drives off for the winter...or move to Florida!!!

If they are all the way down there is no pressure in the trim system-this is preferable. If you neutral them there is still some pressure in the trim rams pushing against the seals-all cold winter long 
See ya soon!

Craig, I usually place a few concrete blocks under the trailer, just to catch the trailer if by chance the tires went out, so the skeg(s) won't hit the ground. Cheap insurance.
