Great transom saver

Your transom takes alot more of a beating in the water than on a trailer.

Correct .... I got one with my new boat from Yamaha ..... I threw it in the trash. I just use a good real transom saver.

Yep.

Your motor's weight is still bouncing up and down on the transom with that setup.

nowhere on that video does it claim to be a transom saver or have any benefit to the transom, because it does not

Whatever! It's called marketing!

I can remove my tr saver in no more that the 3 seconds it takes to trim the motor....

I bet if Al wasn't paid money to do the commercial he wouldn't have....

Not saying this device doesn't have bennies... But to protect my transom (while on the road) I will still use the old reliable and the device that fully supports the motor to the trailer and not resting the motor on the transom like this thing does... Come on.... Think about it people.

Well, "mathematically" it does the exact same thing.

Yamaha even endorses these "wedge" type transom savers.


Yamaha tested these before they endoresed them!!!

well of course Yamahas like them!!! It protects the hyds on their motors!!! There is no disputing that... But the pressure is still placed on the exact same place on the transom. The wedge merely locks up the hyds.

I dont know why this is so hard to grasp!!!
