Transom Support Saver for Marine Outboards with Single-Ram Tilt/Tri...
Transom Support Saver for Marine Outboards with Single-Ram Tilt/Trim Systems – Replaces QuickMarine TS004 is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Product Details
This Transom Support Saver is designed for marine outboard engines equipped with a single ram tilt/trim system. When installed for trailering, it supports the outboard and helps reduce movement, shock, and vibration transferred through the tilt/trim system and transom.
The support is intended for a wide range of outboard applications, including selected Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Honda, and Johnson/Evinrude models. Compatibility depends on the engine’s tilt/trim arrangement, ram position, clearance, and model-specific geometry. Confirm the application details and physical fit before use.
This product is listed as a replacement for the QuickMarine TS004 and is described for single-ram outboard applications.
- Installation: Manually place the support over the outboard’s primary tilt ram, then lower the engine until the support is held securely.
- Material: High-density EPDM rubber designed to absorb trailering stress and tolerate a broad range of operating temperatures.
- Support design: Compression-wedge construction with an extended wedge length and locking slots for retention.
- Included accessories: The package includes one transom support saver and two blue outboard steer-stop stabilizer clips.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
What is the purpose of this transom support saver?
It supports the outboard during trailering and helps reduce shock, vibration, and movement through the engine’s tilt/trim system and transom support area.
How do I know if it will fit my engine?
It is intended for outboards with a single tilt/trim ram. Compare your exact engine model and year with the application guidance, then confirm that the ram location, clearance, and support contact points match the product.
What are the included blue clips for?
The two blue clips function as steer-stop stabilizers. When compatible with the steering arrangement, they help limit sideways engine movement during transportation.
Can this be used while the boat is in the water?
No. This device is intended for trailering only. Remove it before launching the boat or operating the engine.
How does this compact support differ from a traditional transom saver bar?
This wedge-style support is compact and stores easily. It supports the motor through the tilt/trim and transom-side structure rather than using a bar connected to the trailer. Correct installation and engine compatibility are essential.
Is this an OEM component?
This listing is for an aftermarket replacement intended for the stated application. It is not represented as an original-equipment component.
Safety & Important Information
- Confirm the exact engine model, year, stroke, tilt/trim configuration, and physical clearance before use.
- Do not use the support if it is cracked, permanently deformed, improperly seated, or unable to remain securely in position.
- Remove the support before launching, operating, or servicing the outboard.
- After installation, verify that the engine is fully supported and that the support cannot shift during transportation.
- This is an aftermarket replacement, not an OEM component.
