Presumably you mean carrying it by the fixed handle with the prop downwards rather carrying it by the hinged operating handle? If that's the case, I would think twice before taking any more motors to that place.

The manual I am looking at says it can be transported and stored vertically, laid on its tiller side or on its back,
The manual you show is very actually unclear. The picture at LH does not readily indicate that its lieing on the handle when laid down and the text indicates that it should be stored and kept upright. The second picture shows it in yet another position. All fine if you know what it should say but hardly helpful for the newcomer wanting information. Laying on the handle is counter intuitive as one would normally carry a small outboard by the handle so would then need to turn it over.
That's a pity as it means that when the motor is in its mount and fully tilted to lift the prop from the water you've clearly stuffed your motor. That angle is about the same angle as when the motor is carried by its carrying handle so it looks like you're stuffed either way.
