Mounting another roller is the easiest way. Otherwise, if it will reach the
roller that is already there - you could just lower it enough for the
transom saver to fit over it and under the boat. This roller is more for
loading the boat and making sure the boat does not hit the trailer itself
instead of support - which is provided by the bunks.

As for what the other post said about not needing one - he obviously does
not have a large engine on a bass boat. The stress from the engine
bouncing up and down is tremendous and will cause stress cracks in almost
all transoms.

Yeah, I have the U shape transom saver. I have a back roller, but the boat
is sitting on it. Do I need to mount another on the very end of the
trailer?

Thanks again!

Depends on the style of transom saver you purchased. Some have U shape
on
the trailer end and are designed to slide over the back roller on the
trailer. If this is what you have, you can get a roller and mount at
the
rear.
Others are just a square open pole on the trailer end and are designed
to
fit over a square plug. In this case you can make a piece out of two 90
degree brackets from the local Lowes or whatever. Mount in the correct
location and drill a hole thru the the transom saver to pin it over the
brackets.

Hello all,

Quick question regarding transoms. I bought my first transom support
not
knowing what to look for. When I got it home, I noticed there was no
support or way to hook it up on my boat trailer. There are two holes
there
like something might have been mounted there. I went to the bass pro
shop
yesterday and the guy behind the counter said that I needed a peg? He
said
that he did not have any in stock. Is this peg easy to find or make?
He
said
it was a roller? If that is the case, looks like I could make this
with
2
pieces of angle iron?

Any help would be appreciated! You'd think 6 years in the Navy would
give
me
the knowledge (LOL). but we didn't have transoms. Just Poop decks!
(LOL)

Thanks in advance!

Jim
