As long as you secure the boat to the trailer the transom saver does it’s job it takes the load off your transom. I had to weld the corners of my Jon boat transom because I didn’t use one…. But the idea is to strap your boat to the trailer and the transom saver straps the motor to the trailer making it one unit so the springs and tires take all the abuse…. I normally just secure my steering wheel with a small bungee cord and it works great
