rb7764 Extreme Angler Registered: 01/08/04 Posts: 2088 Loc: Frisco, TX, USA	I can see how MotorMate and similar keep the motor from moving relative to the transom. But, how does this relieve stress on the transom during trailering? It seems to me that transferring the torsional load to the trailer rather than to the transom (i.e. a traditional skeg to trailer transom saver) is better for the boat transom. Someone please shed light on this for me. Thanks, Ron

dk2429 Pro Angler Registered: 03/28/16 Posts: 585 Loc: Pearland, TX	No need for the motor mate... I got the one at bass pro (can't remember what it was called, all I remember was that it had Skeet reese or someone on the front..) Use it on a 225 Pro XS, have for a few years, no problems. _________________________ Majek 22 Extreme/225 Optimax Pro XS 2006 Chevy 2500HD Silverado/6.6 Duramax LBZ
