No, you have to lower the lower unit to prevent damage to the u-joints. You have to make sure the ears are lined up and start the water flowing before you start the engine. Have the water turned on all the way. Once you start up check to make sure you have water flow thru the engine within seconds of start up. If you don't shut it down as you can destroy the raw water impeller very quickly.

fact is, when the outdrive is all the way up, the u-joints are in a bind. if you listen closely, you can hear it. it's a knocking sound. just lower it half way and you'll do better. bottom line is it belongs to you. do what you will.

how can i get a job on the gulf coast as a captain of an oil rig service boat?

Lower the drive as far as you can. So the propeller clears the ground. Its also best to store the boat on the trailer like that. When the trailer is parked. Make sure before you hook the trailer on the tow vehicle. You put drive back in trailer, or ouch! The bellows are stretched in the trailer position. I live in the northeast, cold weather will shrink the rubber bellows. They can crack and leak
