- Trim the motor down until the wedge is held firmly between the motor housing and the tilt/trim unit.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
Will this fit my specific outboard motor?
This transom saver is a universal design for single-ram hydraulic systems on motors up to 200 HP, including major brands like Mercury, Yamaha, and Suzuki. Check the compatibility table and verify your motor has only one hydraulic trim/tilt ram. If your motor has 3-ram systems or is over 200 HP, this model is not suitable.
How do I know if the transom saver is installed correctly?
When installed correctly, the wedge should be snug and prevent the motor from bouncing or dropping during trailering. The motor should be trimmed down just enough to apply pressure to the wedge. There should be no visible gaps and minimal movement when you try to move the outboard's lower unit.
Is this better than a traditional transom saver bar?
This wedge-style saver is a modern alternative that is quicker to install and removes the link between the motor and trailer frame, which some users prefer to reduce torsional stress. It isolates the motor's weight on its own tilt mechanism, whereas a traditional bar transfers that load to the trailer.
What are the included steering cylinder locks for?
The two included C-shaped clips are designed to snap onto the hydraulic steering cylinder rods on either side of the motor. They prevent the outboard from turning left or right during transit, keeping it straight and avoiding damage to the hydraulic steering components.
What are the signs that a transom saver needs replacing?
Inspect the EPDM rubber for signs of cracking, deep gouges, or loss of shape. If the material becomes brittle or overly compressed and no longer holds the motor securely, it should be replaced immediately to ensure proper support.
