I saw a video on another forum that a guy mounted a camera focused on his motor and transom while he was towing down the road. He had a motor holder and the video showed a lot of movement and flexing. It convinced him to do away with the motor holder and use the transom saver. It convinced me too. I went to the motor mount style and believe that it has caused additional wear to the bushings on my 225. Saw a lot more movement when hauling. Went back to a transom saver

if it doesn't relieve the strain on the transom, why use it? if the brace doesn't transfer the flex of the transom to the trailer or some other stable brace, how does it divert force?
