I did recieved an e-mail response from Alumacraft and a transom saver was advised. Though they stopped short of making a specific recommendation on brand or type when asked. I am curious though why is that issue not included in their owner's manual? It's not like this is a new concept/practice.
Shep, or anyone else, isnt the lock-n-stow deployed completely/exclusively on the transom of the boat. Is any of the motor related load/stress tranferred away from the transom? No sarcasm here I just could not find any pictures showing the device in use. If thats the case, is there any benefit beyond removing the load of the motor from the hydraulics? As I mentioned there is a bullilt in feature on my e-tec that i believe does that though it does not "lock" the motor in any one (lateral)position beacuse the motor will always turn to one side or the other but
it is off of the hydraulic pistons.
