Pics of an SR4 on a dried out mooring?

Does anyone on here have pictures of an SR4 on a dried out mooring? I'm interested how they sit when dried out, as this'll effect my possible future mooring. Please feel free to post below.

they either sit to the left or to the right ! rarely do they sit on the nose or stern so that just about sums it up!!

Depends which way you turn your engine when you leave it and/or which way does it swing due to water flow as the tide goes out as waves push it over to the shore. Ours gets more weed on one side due to this. Though it only dries on springs.
