Subject: Re: Opinions on Transom Savers

Location: 31

I hear what you're saying, and used one for many years too. Here's a picture of my boat with the transom saver not long before it pole vaulted off of my motor, I even added a bungee cord from the jack plate to help support it.

The only thing I can figure is the transom saver popped off of the boat trailer roller and then dug into the road because all that was left of the transom saver was the V-shaped piece that supports the lower unit.

Same as Jason, I was told that the transom was designed to support the motor while traveling without the addition of a transom saver. I'm not entirely sold on the wedge deal, but considering what happened with this last transom saver, and the reassurance that one is not needed I'll probably just roll with the wedge.
