"No problem", she replies cautiously, "I can do a little kinky". So off they go to the girls flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and a duck caller. "I vant you to tie ze springs to each of your limbs". The girl finds this most odd, but complies, fastening the springs to her hands and knees.
"Now you vil get on your hans und knees".
She duly does this, balancing on the springs.
"You vill please blow Zis vistle as I make love to you."
She finds this odd, but figures its harmless, and the guy is paying. The sex is fantastic. She is bounced all over the room by the energetic German, all the time honking on the duckcaller. The climax is the most sensational that she has ever experienced, and it is several minutes before she has recovered the breath to say:
"That was totally amazing, what do you call that?"
"Ah", says the German, "Four-sprung duck technique!"

I bet theres only Kerny on here found that funny

Aye - cut one out of a handy 6" wide plank. A bit of nice ribbed carpet cut from under the filing cabinet at work sets it off nicely!

It sits in place in a horizontal fashion at the obvious point in the bracket, just lower the leg gently unto it till it bites.

Notice... use of tilt lock lever when trailering may cause damage to outboard.

Andy I presume yours as you say is a trailering bracket and is fine

I haven't got one on mine and I have been wrongly using the tilt lock while towing

Kerny,
I do not know the specifics of your engine, but mine has both tilt support and a trailering bracket. You cannot see the tilt support until the engine is raised, it is a little cam which bears down on the top of the saddle. The trailering bracket is the much more substantial lever which hinges down and locates in a cut out in the lower part of the saddle.
Woops, sorry, just found the manual for your model, and it does quote "an accessory trailering bracket"
I have got to go to my local Evinrude emporium this week, do you want me to ask about it?

This left the engines kinda balanced over the transom...

I am suprised that the 90's did not have the same trailering brackets that my 115 and then 150 had, These have been on Evinrudes for over a decade and I cant figure why none of the other manufacturers have fitted them..

[mick]

They have brackets but opinions on here reckon they ate not as safe so thought of this idea to try

The Honda on Pigs Ear is the same, the only bracket is the one I always thought was just for use for safety when working on the engine, and I agree it does not look upto the job for trailering.

This is what the Honda Manual says....

"The Motor should be trailered in the normal running position or by using a transom saver bar"
