Technical Specifications

Package Contents

• 1 x Transom Saver Motor Toter Support (Black)
• 2 x Outboard Steer Stop Stabilizer Clips (Grey)

Installation Guide

1. Tilt your outboard engine to its maximum upward position.
2. Verify Fitment: Before proceeding, ensure there is at least 9.25 inches of clearance from the tip of the tilt piston to the engine bracket.
3. Important: Check for any grease fittings on the motor's tilt mechanism. This support cannot be used if a grease fitting is present, as it may cause damage.
4. Place the transom saver support directly onto the hydraulic tilt ram. The end with the recessed hold should be positioned to clear the piston seal.
5. Slowly lower the engine until the support is held firmly in place between the tilt ram and the engine bracket. Do not apply excessive pressure.
6. Attach the two included hydraulic steering stabilizer clips to the main steering rams to prevent unwanted side-to-side engine movement during transit.
7. For engines with a 2-pipe configuration, we recommend using two transom savers to achieve better force balance and extend the service life of your equipment.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this transom saver will fit my engine?

A: First, check the compatibility tables on this page to see if your brand, model, and year are listed. Second, you must measure the clearance on your motor. Tilt the engine all the way up and measure the distance from the tip of the tilt piston to the engine bracket—it must be at least 9.25 inches. Finally, ensure there are no grease fittings on the tilt ram that would interfere with installation.

Q: What is the purpose of the stabilizer clips?

A: The two included stabilizer clips are designed to fit on the hydraulic steering rams. They prevent the engine from turning side-to-side during trailering, providing additional stability and protecting the steering system from unnecessary stress.

Q: My boat rocks a lot during trailering. Will one support be enough?

A: For maximum stability, especially on engines with a 2-pipe trim system, it is highly recommended to use two transom savers. This balances the load across both sides of the engine bracket, providing superior support and reducing stress on the transom more effectively than a single support.
