How do you carry a gas boat motor

I carried my johnson 9.9 and now my Nissan 8.0 in a large plastic tote inside the storage area. Tote is used to contain any leaks.
14' bote is carried with ratchet straps beneath RV.

We carry our 14' Portabote on the pass. side slide of our 5er in u shaped aluminum mounts with ratchet straps. The 6 hp 2 stroke motor either in the back of the truck, or on the cargo rack on the back of the trailer. I always clear the water out of our lake water cooled motors by cranking them some with the kill switch off.
We always lay the motor down on its mount side.

2 strokes do care. I always laid the head of mine on two boat cushions so water would not run into places it shouldn't go. had a friend who laid down a 9.9 johnson and it froze solid.

Our 6hp 4 stroke Mercury goes inside our 5er under the dinette table on a towel on the carpet. Never an issue.

You can see one idea here (not mine):

I'd be very careful about the cumulative effects of bouncing up and down.

You could also try a Hitch Mounted Cargo Rack since it's a small motor.
