Someone at a local boat dealer said to get rid of the cylinder and do not use the motor mate that they are bad for the transom. He said to use the transom saver that connects to the roller on the trailer and lower unit. Still researching.

Very similar in design as the Pro-Rule, but this one makes contact correctly no matter how it is installed and the contact point is rubber cushioned and it is made of high impact Derlin composite material. Only $29.99 at Bass Pro Shop! Motor Mate appear to be a great product as well, but I think I'll try the Rite Hite and see if it is durable, especially at that price... Rite Hite at Bass Pro Shop This is what I have now (or a copy of it). I am looking for something different. The sleeve areas that slip over the trim pistons sit there and bounce on the tips of the pistons and eventually start to mushroom the tips of them. I've already had to grind mine back smooth just so I could slide the mount back over it without having to force it on.

Just driving down the road I can tell that the motor is a lot more stable and basically dosen't bounce at all. I have a 250 SHO and when I got my boat it came with the "rubber" stabalizer that goes over one of the trim rods. I have had many transom savers and so far the MM is the best one I have used.
