You should tow it with the motor trimmed down as far as you can(leaving room for your skeg if you hit a bump and the trailer suspension flexes. This will take the stress off the transom and trim. If you have a gas shut off i would recommend shutting the fuel off also. Make sure anything that could fly out during your trip even seat cushions are stowed away. I have buddies tell me that heavy seat cushions were missing when they got to their destination.
