[QUOTE="BrentD, post: 446964, member: 23308"] I agree with momule. The point of a transom saver is to keep the motor from rocking forward and back while hitting bumps in order to avoid damage to the transom. The part about it not hitting the skeg is just a side benefit. The average transom replacement around here is $2500+ (on a fiberglass boat). I've never seen a motor damaged motor from vibration caused by using a transom saver, but I HAVE seen a transom damaged from the motor rocking while driving. This might be my first "real" boat, but I've been around them for quite a while, and my close friend owns a boat repair company. [/QUOTE]
