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




I and lots of the guys who trailer to Mexico, use a scrap piece of PVC.
Take a saw and cut a slot slightly smaller than the piston rod. Make one
end a little wider with a taper. Snaps over the piston rod, works great.
Saves at least $30 + shipping.




I'm sure you do.

However, the product in question is a bit more than a chunk of leftover
PVC. It's got a rubber insert that mates up with the ram and absorbs
shock. Your method may hold up the engine, but it also transmits all the
road shocks.
