[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 25406, member: 315"] the wedge or a block of wood does not take any stress of your transom. It does help take pressure off the trim and tilt hydraulics but doesn't help the transom at all. These new motors are very heavy and our roads suck. A transom saver is a great idea as long as you transfer the weight to the trailer. Another benefit to a transom saver that nobody talks about is saving your swivel bracket bushings. I bought a boat a year and a half ago that had a pile of miles/hrs on it. The swivel bracket bushings were shot. I will now be pulling the motor and removing it from the swivel bracket to change them out. I'm hoping they are shot to the point they are wearing into the swivel bracket. That would suck and be very spendy. Transom savers also keep you motor from turning to the left or right while running down the road. [/QUOTE]
