The 9.9's can layt on the tiller side of the engine or on the rear most part of the cowling with the prop facing downward or vertical (obviuously) The powerhead should always be slanted higher than the leg to keep any residule water in the leg from entering the powerhead. Oil will also flood the engine and leak out if you store it the wrong way. In other words your dealer is full of sh-t. I would lay it on the tiller handle side and have something soft under the powerhead to keep it higher than the leg.
