[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 469448, member: 24227"] I trailer my boat with the 40hp motor resting on the tilt latch that came with the motor. If you aren't happy with that, a block of wood or transom saver will move the load from that latch to the block of wood or the transom saver instead. But, the block of wood and transom saver do different jobs. The block of wood will save the factory latch but won't take the weight off the transom. A transom saver puts the weight on the trailer and not the transom. But...I can tilt my 200 lb motor up with one hand. That tells me that the motor is balanced enough that it isn't putting much stress on the transom anyway. [/QUOTE]
