Re: Mercury 115 HP Engine SKEG PROBLEM
Hi 1971crestliner,<br /><br />A lot of the new boat trailers in Australia are also now coming without any rear bar on the trailer, a friend of mine recently bought a new outfit and had the same problem except he already had the support bar (transom saver) from his old rig.<br /><br />In his case the trailer frame has two RHS steel sections down each side as the main structure of the trailer and open at the rear end to drain water from inside the RHS channels, I made up a crossbar to fit into these channels with an bracket welded to the centre to fit the base of his transom saver. He simply slips the crossbar in, fits the transom saver to the bracket, lowers motor and ties it back to the main trailer frame (look for best location). He tows his boat all over the place, on and off road without any problems, maybe if your trailer is similar you could get something similar done for yours.<br /><br />Bob
