personally I don't see the benefit of the mywedge at all. Just lower the motor on a rolled up towel or something. I just can't believe anyone wouldn't use a transom saver on a boat considering the cost of these things.
The cost of these things?
Mine was $80. Money well spent IMO.
Much cheaper than a transom or hydraulic system repair.
In any case, you see more people with then than without. If you are talking a small tiller motor, than when ever. Put it in shallow drive and forget about it. If you are talking a 300lb+ motor or larger. Your are just asking for trouble down the road if you just use as "rolled up towel or something".
I think you misunderstood my post. I was questioning the effectiveness of the product called MyWedge. It is a shock absorber type thing that you lower your motor on, but does not support the transom in any way. I really dont see this being that beneficial.
I do use a transom saver and would never consider trailering without it. I dont care if they cost $300 my motor is getting trailered with one.
My transom saver was free because I found it in the bottom of the lake at the end of a boat ramp several years ago. Someone must have forgotten to unhook from trailer and off she went.
