I have a 6m Yalta on a Brooker trailer and have a 2015 model 150HP Mercury
4 stroke on the back.
The dealer I bought the outboard from strongly suggested I modify the trailer to allow a support arm for the 210kg of outboard hanging off the back. The back of the trailer is a fair way forward from the back of the boat and motor.
I'll take a few photos of my mods and post them tomorrow to show what I've done incase it helps others.
Plastics fantastic but bait is better.
