Default Boat Newbie - How to secure outboard motor while trailering

Okay...I understand raising it to not hit the the prop or lower unit
while towing, but the manual says to

"have it in normal running condition unless it will not clear the road.
If it will not clear the road, raise it and use a transom saver"

Do I need a transom saver for this boat/motor combo when raising the
motor?



It's a good idea to use a transom saver. I always do. I sometimes get
on some rough roads, and I'm not going to take any chances.
