Cause for concern...
 

I recently went to pay for the shrink wrapping and winter storage on the shabah. I meet the techs on the 29th for the run up and walk around and to finally bring her home.
I had a chance to peek at it in storage and i noticed 1- the trailer had been blocked... And 2 for some reason they left the outdrive at about half trim. It gets down to -40 here, should i be concerned that the bellows may be disfigured and stressed?
I didn't say anything until i gathered some information. Rookie move i think, if it was tour boat and you saw that, what would you say? Is this a bad thing?

Re: Cause for concern...
 

The trailer was up on blocks? Maybe to keep weight off the tires/axles. (I do this to my boat every winter)

Trim was at 1/2 tilt? To keep water from sitting in the prop shaft area. Water freezing in that area is not a good thing. I noticed the guys with I/O on dry lifts down in Florida trimmed all the way down when the boat was up. Maybe to protect the rams from corrosion?

Bellows are rubber. They dont last forever, they tend to dry out and get hard.
