[QUOTE="flatboat, post: 342127, member: 5508"] I am of the opinion that the boat maker assumed you would put a motor on it so he made the transom strong enuf to handle the weight of a motor and being moved down the road . Not sure why its called a transom saver, its more like a motor saver . It stops the motor from bouncing and doesn't take any weight off the transom ......it does however tilt the motor up to prevent dragging on the ground .I think that's a good idea, the main concern would be if the boards on the trailer went a little past the transom to support it there to prevent hooking . Sure would be a lot more pleasant to leave it on there instead of fighting it every time . 2 chances to screw the skeg up every time you go out , putting it on and taking it off ,...as always just my opinion [/QUOTE]
