That little aluminum tubing the traditional ones are made out of ain't supporting the weight if the motor either. Your trim is still doing the wirk.

Transom savers are the worst named product in fishing.

Its not about supporting the weight of the motor. Its about reducing flex in the transom from a bouncing motor. Transom savers reduce bouncing which in turns reduces flex. Its really pretty simple.

If youve ever had loose jackplate bolts or a rotted transom you can see the motor level off when you trim it down to the transom saver.that being said the boats being built nowadays it's probably overkill.

I went and looked at the motormate webpage. I think that I'll get one but I saw this page on their sight and thought it was funny. Copied directly from their site:

Another vote for Motor Mate. Had a transom saver that was waaaaay to long on my Ranger. Didn't seem like it supported anything. Happy as can be with the MM.

Old school transom saver for me, when i put anything on.

And that same bar transfers energy from the trailer up to the motor when trailer hits bumps etc.

Like I said transom savers are misnamed.

Everyone should stick with what they want. Neither side is gonna win an argument.

The motor bounces more with the old style that connects the lower unit to the trailer than with the newer styles.

Motor mate. One of my favorite "additions"

Beating a dead horse. Any energy that travels through the trailer is going to be transferred to the boat sitting on the trailer. Wether or not the "transom saver" is the old "stick style" supported by the actual trailer or the newer styles completely supported by the transom all energy/shock is still going to be shared by EVERYTHING sitting on that trailer. Agreed the term "transom saver" is a misnomer. They should be called a "motor stabilizer". My transom is designed to support a lot more force than just the motor resting on it going down the road. That being said, if I drive just a short distance without my "saver" in place my motor looks like it bounces around a lot. Moving side to side....This is why I use a "transom saver". For this purpose a MotorMate works great. Stupid simple/quick to put in place, rock solid AND it does not scuff up all the paint on my lower unit like the old "stick style" ones.
