I was thinking the same thing. Motor on over there and mark that spot on your GPS.

If you have one from the past few years with the cast lower unit it wouldn’t be good somewhere with plenty stumps. I’ve cracked mine once before. The newer ones are now machined and I’m sure they’re a lot stronger and can take more of a beating.
