[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 469864, member: 13702"] I'm with nccatfisher - that's the plate of the transom that cracked, not the weld. No way to tell whether it was caused by running in heavy chop too often, hanging too heavy a motor or hanging the motor with too much setback to where it applied too much torque, but one way or the other the top of the transom was pulled straight backwards by a load to cause that. That's the type of stress a transom saver is intended to help alleviate, I would certainly add one to the trailer if you don't have one already to help avoid a re-occurrence. [/QUOTE]
