Default Hurts to watch

Somewhere in the middle east, nice collection of boats. Just hurts to watch, starting with the drives up and such...

They could possibly F up the u-joints with the drives trimmed all the way and running.

I don't fully understand the point of putting the boat in gear while its on the trailer. Maybe I'm missing something?

It is BAD on u-joints and such to start any I/O with them in the trailered position.....

Putting it in gear also made me kringe!! One of our techs was told at one of their service schools that was not a good idea to shift #6's or NXTs in gear, out of water, with a prop on. Might be to lack of back pressure on the gears and shafts....not sure
