Location: Elk River, Minnesota | When I am on the water, I don't have a stabilizer on the bowmount. Reason being is that in the Powerdrive/AP units, you can replace the rubber bushings that push the pivot rod down at the main mount, which keeps the motor rock solid while travelling down the lake.
On the flip side of this, when trailering with cover, I built a removable support that fits right up under the shaft, tied to the handle on the motor, and cover from there. With the air pressure on the cover, you will wear out the bushings pretty quick. This saves the problem, and there are no extra straps/ball mount for ram up by the deck to be hit or tripped on (dpending on placement)
