[QUOTE="Coldfront, post: 264445, member: 3546"] I bought a new 2011 Skeeter w/200hp Yamaha and it came with the two wedges for the steering rams and one wedge that had Yamaha written on it that slipped over the hyd tilt ram. I bought another skeeter in 2017 that had a jack plate which set the motor rear off the transom more but had the same setup right from the factory. I would say that being everything is Yamaha except for the trailer that Yamaha would want to make sure of no transom warranty issues. The main weight of the motor is in the motor head and not spread out equally over the length of the motor. So when the motor is tilted up for trailering the weight of the motor is kind of balanced I would say over the transom. The wedge that is used is to take care of the shock. I think each will work just fine. The transom saver that attach to the trailers I believe were used in the earlier years because a lot of boats had no hyd trim and nobody had invented the wedge. I used a 2X4 on my Lund Pro Angler in the 80's and never once ever had a problem. [/QUOTE]
