i ordered a new 270 SDX with a 300 Verado. I have had IO boats for 30 years, wet slipped for the season. I believe with the outboard tilted up out of the water the boat will be in the channel too far since I back into my slip and will need to move the boat way forward. Can I leave the motor tilted down and in the water for the season like I have done with my alphas and B3's over the past 3 decades? Corrosion has never been an issue on any of my boats as long as I use magnesium anodes, and I can deal with the slime by cleaning the motor every few weeks.
I understand tilting out is better and the beauty of an OB, but I want to understand if there is a reason it can't stay in the water.
