It's a light motor, put it on an old school motor to trailer and be done with it

A Motor Mate is not actually a transom saver. It does hold the motor up while in transit but doesn’t take any stress off the transom. A true transom saver uses the trailer as the focal point of the stress. Just my 2 cents.

Motormate’s are great if they have one that spacifically fits your motor. Been using one for 7 years on my 250xs.

While I understand and agree….there are so many on here that don’t that your comment is gonna start a mudslide.

Motor Mate's don't support the transom. The old school TS's are the only one's that do.

Your transom is under more stress while running in rough water with the boat than going down the road.

The weight of the motor is still on the transom.
