What do you use for transom saver.
Type off the trailer, rubber stop by hydraulics, or just a block of wood?
 
my g3 i use a namebrand transom saver grips the first roller on the trailer then grips the foot.

on my jon boat i pull it foward on the trailer and put the front of the cav plate on the first roller on the trailer
 
my tracker PT175 has an oem saver, 1" square tube connects to the 1st/last crossmember of the trailer frame, and has a V shaped rubber pad/metal support bracket that the lower unit slides into when lowered. use a bungee strap to hold the lower unit to the V pad.
 
Mine fits the back roller and has the V end for the motor but it has an inner and outer shaft. There is a heavy duty spring inside the outer shaft that acts like a shock absorber when ever the trailer hit's a bump and the motor wants to bounce.
 
I'm cheap, so I took a piece of 2x6 and cut a v in one end, glued some carpet in the v. I use a bungee strap to keep it in place. The board rests against the bottom of the stern. Sorry, I don't have any pics.
 
Used on old cargo bar for a pickup bed. Cut to fit. Short end is attached to trailer. Longer end slides out. Bungee to lower unit and yer good to go.

MIne was on the trailer when I bought the boat. It appear to be a piece of conduct that has a V with a rubber pad on the motor end and the other end slides into a piece of pipe with a screw that goes through a hole in the conduct. I then use a bunge cord so that it won't fall off the motor. To late to take pictures. I'll add some tomorrow.
 
Here's another pic with the bar removed.(it's the little nub hanging down just behind the trailer rollers)

I purchased one of these because of the reach to the cross member on my trailer
