I launched the auger a couple times off of said wing bouncing over some drifts and I wasn't really going that fast. Definitely could secure it better and maybe those other things are more sturdy but something to consider. The moisture/snow on the powerhead is worse for a carburated engine maybe? A cover/garbage bag would be OK too. Things to think about!

That’s good to know. I have the SM 40V, so less worried about fuel and carbs, but certainly don’t want it flying off either.
