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?


Why would you not simply do what the manual says to do? Keep in mind that
'clear the road' also applies to those times the trailer is lower because
of a bump or depression in the road.
