My BW owners manual says up (60 HP Merc) but I feel that could still be a lot of stress on the transom. Riding down will be to close to the pavement. For that reason I use a "transom saver/motor support" readily available at any chandelier or sports store and this will keep my motor 18" or more of the ground.
