Location: north central wisconsin | When I bought my Ranger, I was told my transom was built to withstand the weight/jarring of a 225 hp motor and that I wouldn't need one. I have a 90hp tiller which is much smaller/lighter than that. With that said, I run a transom saver, mostly because I always have, and I'm already back there strapping it down, so it isn't much effort to use. While I'm not sure how much harder on a transom trailering is than accelerating through waves, I guess it gives me a fuzzy warm feeling to use one, so I do. It also reminds me to pull my plug, when pulling out of the landings...
