Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a transom saver?

Yes. A transom saver reduces stress on your boat’s transom and motor while towing, preventing cracks and long-term damage.

Are transom savers universal?

Most are adjustable, but always check your motor size and trailer setup for compatibility before purchase.

What’s the difference between a transom saver and a motor support?

A transom saver supports the motor by connecting it to the trailer frame, while a motor support like the M-Y Wedge stabilizes the tilt mechanism directly on the outboard.
