[QUOTE="eshaw, post: 461263, member: 22134"] I don't see anything wrong with toting your motor on the transom without a transom saver if the motor is down and a light weight motor. I won't do it with it tilted up though. I imagine a light weight on the transom is fine but the bigger motors should be supported just because of the leverage they place on the transom in the tilted position. I agree that they are fine on the water but the road is a totally different animal when it comes to transferring shock loads versus water. The shock loads are totally different and a transom saver should be used. As far as the tilt/trim goes that unit is hydraulic and can absorb some jolts in compression. [/QUOTE]
