[QUOTE="sirbeigealot, post: 220288, member: 6104"] I have been carrying my 7.5 Mercury in the back of my pickup to avoid bouncing down the road. This motor is old, and it doesn't tilt up currently. I can get it fixed but haven't done so yet. My question is, if I leave the motor in the down position on the boat and strap the heck out of it should it be okay for transport? I have traveled with the motor on the boat and it bounces quite a bit. Is this possibly damaging the transom? I dont think this bouncing is damaging the motor. Does a transom saver only work when the motor is tilted in the up position? Are there negatives to having a transom saver? [/QUOTE]
