[QUOTE="HeavyHook, post: 387564, member: 18315"] So I went out today and noticed while trailering that the motor was bouncing around way too much which was concerning me. Pulled into the boat ramp parking lot and checked everything and noticed it basically wiggled my transom bolts (bolts from motor to transom) loose. No harm done because I caught it and tightened them up etc. It has to be from trailering though - as I said earlier I trailer with motor down as the manual says to... For posters that know - out of pure curiousity could I make a very small form of a transom saver that basically just keeps the motor still? Basically a 1 foot wood / metal piece that would allow me to rest the motor in a more secure spot. It is just concerning to me with the motor bouncing so much. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
