Location: 31 | Now I’m rethinking the whole deal with the Ranger letter pasted below from the other thread (thank you). Looks like I'm back to literally having to lay down under my dripping dirty boat trailer to secure a roller bungee again.
After the TS popped off twice and broke the second time I bought another one and used it for a while with three bungee cords, one at the motor, one from the jack plate, and one wrapped tight around the roller without an issue. I'm still pretty intrigued with the motormate though and might contact Ranger to get their input on it.

Transom Savers
Friday, January 07, 2011
If you've ever followed someone pulling a boat rigged with an outboard
engine, chances are you've noticed that even the best highways can doll
out their share of punishment. Road cracks, potholes, and a host of
miscellaneous debris can translate into a lot of unwelcome jostling. As
you can imagine, each time the outboard gets tossed around, stress is
added to the transom area of the boat, the trailer, and even the engine
itself.
So, what can be done to help alleviate the added stress that this type
of unnatural jarring causes? We recommend that you consider the added
support of a 'transom saver.' These units (especially when used in
conjunction with boat buckles) help support the engine, reducing stress
levels and ultimately saving unnecessary wear and tear on the boat,
motor, and trailer.
