My raft and all of its accessories are all stored in a cargo box mounted on a small 3x4 utility trailer frame shown below. But gas motors should only be transported vertically. Short of attaching some kind of a mast with motor mount plate to the trailer's coupler frame (which seems like a really big and expensive job), what else can be done here? There must be a better way to transport outboard motors! Help!

I have transported my small 4HP Johnson engine on its side in my truck bed many times. I didnt think that was a problem and I have never had an issue with it. I always store it vertically when I get home though.
