Location: Fairfield, IA | On my last boat the transom saver rested on the keel roller on the trailer. The problem I had was the motor would rotate to one side while moving down the road as I could not get enough force on the saver without putting too much load on the transom. It was a pain, if not impossible, on this trailer to lock the saver into place on the roller.
On my current boat, ShorLandr trailer, the transom saver locks into a pivot hole bracket that is mounted on the frame of the trailer. I have had no problems with the motor moving and have went over some nasty bumps with it.
I know some believe in the transom holding the load of the motor, but for all the money tied up in boats and motors, it seems this is a no brainer for the amount of money it costs for some added protection.
Good Luck, Dave.
