[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 342306, member: 7544"] The next time you're around a boat and motor, reach down and grab the motor near the cav plate and lift/tilt the motor up to the approx angle it's held at by the transom saver. Now figure out how many pounds of force it takes you to hold the motor right there and that's how much weight the transom saver is supporting. And that's just static weight. Imagine how much force is required to hold it there when it bottoms out after the trailer hits a big bump. [/QUOTE]
