Default Worthwhile Gadget for Trailerboaters

Device slips over engine tilt rams, keeps engine lower unit at good
angle for trailering, takes stress off rams. $30.



I know a few boaters who have tried this device and like it. It does
keep the outboard tilted and it may prevent some vibration, but the
problem is that it doesn't acutally support any of the outboard's
weight.

A traditional "transom saver" (the good ol' metal bar that mounts to
the boat trailer) supports the weight of the motor, preventing damage
to the boat's transom.
