[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 461254, member: 21536"] As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I use the transom saver to protect my outboard's PT&T, not to protect the transom. I was using a Cabelas transom saver that used a twist lock connection at the trailer. Well, the worst nightmare happened. The end of the transom saver that connects to the trailer came loose and was dragging along on the pavement from the bungie around the lower unit. I was lucky that no damage was done other some some scratches in the OB paint. The connecting end of the transom saver was half gone from grinding along the pavement. I didn't care because I chucked it as soon as I got home. I have no idea how this happened. So, I no longer use a transom saver. I now use one of the wedge style motor supports. The brand I use is M-Y Wedge. It is a lot easier to use than the transom saver. [/QUOTE]
