[QUOTE="JoshKeller, post: 355681, member: 9811"] i firmly believe a transom saver does more harm than good. when the engine is down, it is locked against the transom in a neutral way. with the motor up, you now have side to side torque and well as changing the balance point of the motor. and the thin tube aluminum on a transom saver will do nothing except transmit vibration and road bumps to the motor from the trailer. I want my boat to float independant of the trailer (aside from the bow and rear tie downs) instead of being locked into the movements of the trailer. [/QUOTE]
