ok, thanks

im ordering one now

I just wanted to be sure this wasn't one of them new fangled gimmicky things that aren't worth buying

transom savers just blow out the seals on your power trim, did it on the first three motors I had until the mechanic told me to throw the transom saver in the garbage because it beats the hell out of your gear box and transfers ALL road shock to the seals in your power trim as the boat tries to move separately from the trailer.

he said its like hitting the PTT ram with a hammer every time you hit a bump, so for whatever its worth I believe him and have never had any seals fail in the last fifteen years since I stopped using the transom saver so im convinced they might be good for the transom but they are very bad for the PTT and gearbox.
