Trailering Mercury 135 Motor Position

[Malcolm Barnes]

I have a Mercury 135 ourboard.

I have a Mercury 135 ourboard. When traveling have had motor fully up and motor rest in position. Last trip (2 hour) motor had fuel leeking out under cover and out exhaust hole under drainer. What position should the motor be in to transport and does it need a support if not fully up? (Please note this has been reposted from Misc. as requested by a seniour member.)
