Does any one have a strap/cable/chain rigged up on the CMC PT130 or PT-35 to prevent the motor from kicking up to far? If so how did you do it?

I have a heavy rope hanging across the back of the motor and tied to the handles on either side of the rear of my MV1648 Alumacraft. The motor or could kick up about 1/2way before the rope would stop it.
I don't know of you have to do it differently with a CMC unit, etc.

Dixiedeerslaya has a chain between the two sections of his break-away plate I think. There's pictures of it somewhere on here or maybe on Facebook. Someone, maybe CMC, makes a strap that stays out of the way and serves the same purpose.
For a motor mounted on a PT-130, I assume you're counting on the motor kicking up, not a separate break-away plate, right? I'd just run a rope from the handles on the back of the boat. Or run a rope/cable from holes in the plate around the motor.
Another way to do them.

That chain ain't big enough.
I've got mine mounted on the inside like the pic with the blue straps.
The motor is allowed to kick up just past the bottom of the boat before the chain is taught.
The bolts that mount my chain are pretty busted up. I'm certain they'll shear eventually. However, I'm glad that chain is there.
That chain in the picture isn't even bolted on both ends either. Just a picture from the Havoc Facebook page.
I haven't re-added a stump rope since I put on my PT-130, but I'll probably run a rope from the handles on the back of the boat around the motor and everything. That way I'll be covered if the motor mounts break or if something on the PT-130 gives way, too.
The problem I've run into is having a rope long enough that the motor will have enough range to kick up or be able to be lifted up and locked out the water, while being short enough that it can't work its way into range of the prop. I've seen DNR and other boats with plastic tubing over their ropes, and I think that would help keep it out of the prop while having enough give to lock the motor up.
Handle to handle on 1648. Always called em swamp ropes.

what are y'all doing here for the ba-130s?....put mine in the boat yesterday and want to keep that from happening again
I tied a rope to mine yesterday....it doesn't completely limit the movement, but will keep it out of the boat I think.

I haven’t done anything about it yet.
