[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 252433, member: 6982"] I strapped it down...if there is any movement it is minimal and to the point that it certainly isn't getting more flex than it gets when I take off in the water...that's the point of having a transom....and one that is strong and well built should be able to hand the minimal jolts it is getting from the trip I took it on yesterday...at least from what I can tell. Even if I could install a transom saver, which I really don't think I can with my setup, I wouldn't be convinced yet. There's just not enough evidence that it is worth it for a sub 100lb motor or even for a heavy one if you buy into the idea that tying it to the trailer can actually transfer more road pain directly to it....
