[QUOTE="Molokai, post: 422076, member: 21629"] I had this 12' hypalon inflatable years ago with a Tohatsu 18hp on the back. Kind of an extreme example because the wood transom is glued to the tubes but it really demonstrated how a transom saver saved transoms. Before i got the saver i would look in my rear view and every time i hit a bump the outboard would jostle around, if i was on a bad road the shaking around of the outboard was constant. It got me worried because it was like this repetitive motion injury to the attachment points of the transom. Only a matter of time before they were weakened. I got a TS and when i looked in the rear view the majority of the movement of the outboard was gone. Wont trailer without one now. Only my opinion and not the most scientific but oh well......
