Having a hard time getting a straight answer about this, so hopefully someone knows. If you go to the Tohatsu website and download the manual for a 2.5, it will say it can be stored horizontally on either side, or on its front.
Mercury, who sells the same damn engine, doesn't provide online manuals. I just tried asking a dealership and they sent me a non-model-specific manual that says you can only store it on one side. Or vertically, of course.
And to make things weirder, apparently it's fine to carry the motor horizontally by the handle...which is kinda the position I want to store it in.
So....is it fine? I ask because it's the only way the motor will fit in my boat's locker. Thanks.
