[QUOTE="richg99, post: 251918, member: 4376"] I've got a 40 Johnson and a 40 Yammie on two different boats. I use the "stop" that is part of the motor. Both have hydraulic tilt...so I crank them up, and then lower onto the flip stop that is part of the engine. Half the people I read seem to feel that the transom savers transfer the road's bumps to the boat and motor,....... and the other half swear by them. I'm confused. A confused mind always says NO!. So, presently, I don't use one for trailering. Years ago, there was a transom saver that had a nitrogen pneumatic "shock-absorber". It looked like it would absorb and cushion the bounces BOTH ways. Haven't seen them in years, though. Might use that one if I had one. R [/QUOTE]
