We fish a small lake down south that's stocked with trout... As long as you respect the speed and/or motor HP regs on your lake, it doesn't matter. I cruised the lake with my 4.3l inboard and the CO waved at me.

Are you talking about a lake that prohibits gas engines?
I'd suggest that this is not the best place to get advice on this matter ..... considering I'd disagree with newguy on this one.
I know for a fact, in a federal park like Banff, having a gasoline engine (RUNNING OR NOT), on any lake other than Minnewanka, is strictly prohibited.
Call the CO's or F&W and save yourself some BIG issues.

ive heard (on AO) someone answer the same question by saying a CO said as long as the motor was out of the water it was good to go, that being said id still check with the co near where your going fishing

If you are talking about a gas motor in a lake that restricts them then your best bet would be to talk to a local fish cop. GET HIS Name if he tells you it is alright to just lift it.
As for taking it off - sometimes it is not that easy. Mine is bolted to the transome and weighs a million pounds. If I was doing an extensive trip around the province and just wanted to stop in at a lake for an afternoon, it is not even a consideration.
