Thought it was a good buy
I've been using this product for about 18 months. I only leave installed when trailering, rinse thoroughly after each trip and store it inside when not in use. The last section has all but broken in two at one of the adjustment holes. Will try to weld it and see what happens. Won't be buying another one.

Adjustable transom saver - not the best design
The product is well-built / solid but when set up to the correct length for my trailer & motor combo it was hard to engage in the mounting bracket as the transom saver hits the ground to get it started. I've had others where you only have to engage it at a 90 degree angle, but this one requires a full 180 degrees and with my trailer frame this puts it too close to the ground - I'm sure it works well with other configurations.

Easy To Use Once It's Installed
Once this unit is installed, it works very well, and is easy to put on and take off. However, I found the mounting bracket (which didn't come with a mounting bolt) to be very sloppy, with the slot having too much clearance for the support. I fabricated a new mounting plate with a tighter slot (it fits flat against the frame member), and that eliminated a lot of the rattle and sloppiness. Once that issue was solved, the unit adjusted easily and works as advertised. The bungee cord that came with the unit was too long and had weak hooks. I use a ratchet strap for a nice firm tie-down. The fork that cradles the motor could be a bit beefier too. I can see trouble down the road with it, and foresee some more re-work in my future.

Great Transom Saver
Great for boat trailers that have rear frame member too far back. Strong construction. Works as described.

Better instructions would help.
The rubber "buffer" actually tore in half the first time I used it. Super glue fixed the problem for now. I had to shorten the adjustable part by about 4 inches. It seems to be better but cannot honestly recommend this product to anyone. I have a 60hp 4 stroke motor and this transom save is about at it's maximum to stabilize the motor while towing.

How much play has it side to side in case the boat on the rollers doesnt center on the trailer?
There is plenty of play, at least 1 foot on the one I bought (same unit but with the 1" travel shock)

How can I get a replacement for the v-shaped rubber piece in the bracket that fits against the motor? It broke at the end of last season (less than a full season of use) while trailering (fortunately no damage to the motor casing) and I can't use it anymore without replacing the rubber. Please advise....
