Product Details
This universal Transom Saver Motor Support – Fits Single Ram Outboard Motors (Replaces M-Y Wedge) is engineered for outboard motors equipped with a single hydraulic ram trim/tilt system. It safeguards the motor and transom during trailering by absorbing shock and reducing strain on the hydraulic components. It is compatible with a wide range of single-ram outboards from Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Tohatsu, and Evinrude/Johnson.
This part serves as a direct interchange for the M-Y Wedge Transom Saver, QuickMarine Transom Support, and is partially compatible as a replacement for the DD26 Mean Mount.
- Installs easily by wedging directly between the hydraulic trim ram and the motor's tilt tube.
- Constructed from high-density EPDM rubber to absorb trailering stress and prevent damage.
- Select packages include steer stop clips to prevent unwanted motor turning during transit.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
Will this fit my specific motor model?
This support is designed for universal fitment on outboard motors with a single hydraulic trim/tilt ram. It is confirmed compatible with most Mercury (15-200 HP), Yamaha (9-90 HP & F115LB), Suzuki, Honda, Tohatsu, and Evinrude/Johnson single-ram systems. Always verify your motor has a single central ram before purchasing.
How is this different from a traditional transom saver bar?
Unlike a bar that connects the lower unit to the trailer frame, this wedge-style support fits directly onto the hydraulic ram. This isolates the motor and relieves pressure on the hydraulic system and transom without being attached to the trailer.
Can I use this on a twin-ram system?
No, this model is specifically engineered for single-ram trim/tilt systems. Using it on a dual-ram system will not provide proper support and is not recommended.
What are the included yellow clips for?
The steer stop stabilizer clips are designed to fit onto the hydraulic steering rams. They prevent the motor from turning side-to-side during trailering, providing additional stability. They are included in most, but not all, packages.
How do I know if the support is tight enough?
Lower the motor just enough to compress the rubber wedge slightly. It should be held firmly in place without excessive pressure on the hydraulic system. The motor should not be able to bounce or move freely.
What is the lifespan of the rubber material?
The high-density EPDM rubber is very durable and resistant to UV, oil, and saltwater. With proper use, it should last for many years. Inspect for cracks or deterioration before each use and replace if signs of wear are visible.
