tramsom bracket support

[HARLEYBOY]

Hey when I got my boat I asked the Dealer if I needed a tramsom bracket support for my boat & motor, He told me with my trailer, boat[ Bear trailer/ Alum.165cs/ 75HP yam.4str.] that a tramsom bracket , would not be needed ,? He said that I should use the support lever on the motor, been doing that, but when I read my owners manual it says not to do that when you are trailering? as it looks on my setup I would have to have an offset bracket if I used one, do they make one , or do I need one? I know I ask alot of Dumb? ?, But how else will Dumb me learn? Really don't want to hurt Boat Tramsom or motor
Thanks Great Forum

Either use a transom saver or leave the motor down for less stress on transom. I've always used a transom saver.

Rig I use to have had the cross piece so far under the boat I had to use something like this.

Lately I've heard some comment about the shock/vibration from the road/trailer transmitted to the motor via the Transom saver. Kinda makes some sense to me, but the stress of an un-supported motor on a transom would do more damage than the saver would. Guess you need to read up on it and decide for yourself. I'll stick with my old school transom saver.
