I agree that the lock and stow is to relieve the wieght of the motor from the trim and tilt system, and does nothing to help the transom. That is why I suggested asking the boat manufacturer. It's their transom, they should have a recommendation or not.

My boat came with a transom saver, and the motor simply does not turn one way or the other. I'll continue to use it. I really don't think these boats move around that much on the trailer. And I think the composite transoms are so strong these days, the saver really doesn't do much. I bet a good chop on Green bay puts more stress on a transom than a ride down the highway.
