I was wondered the same thing a couple years back when I picked up my Lund w/90 hp Merc. One of the members here suggested using a 2x6 fitted snug between the motor and transom mount rather that the factory tilt lock. The motor sits at about 45 degrees and rides great over bumps. I should add that the boat is very well balanced front/back on the trailer so that helps smooth things out as well.
