Subject: Re: Transom Savers??




If your transom isnt tuff enough too handle the bumps on the road you best be looking at a new boat. Seriously, your boat takes alot more abuse on the water than on the road. OMC,. in there days' had a built in lock on there motors similiar to the lock and stow that I used on my lund with no probs for ten years. The lock n stow or whatever similiar deal is the best. Do you realize how much road flex is transfered from your trailer to your lower unit through a transom saver? Enough to loosen the and break bolts. Lower units cost upwards of $8000. Ever got to your destination and found your tie downs loose. Guess what was bouncing up and down on your trailer. There has been lots of discussion about this on other boards. In the old days of wooden transoms you might be right, but not today!! If possible get the lock n stow or similiar. I dont sell them either and they dont make one for my motor.
