[QUOTE="Boat2fast, post: 372795, member: 13358"] In general, I'm for trailering with the engine down. Set the tilt pin for good clearance and that's all. I lock it down too. If needed, I bungee left or right to limit swing. This way the weight is carried the way its supposed to be. Vertical. With the engine tilted up all the motors weight is way up high and it has a lot of leverage on the transom. If the boat I'm trailering has power trim, I will raise it up through the trim range only, for clearance. I have never found a need for a transom saver. Every boat/trailer has its own set of conditions and variations. [/QUOTE]
