Re: How to keep outboard from flopping around on steering axis while trailering
I use a home made version that seems to work well. Yes all things flex and move during trailering and so will the transom saver set up. However using the transom saver will restrict this flexing and movement to a minimum which I believe is the desired effect.
Re: How to keep outboard from flopping around on steering axis while trailering
When a trailer flexes, shifts left and the boat shifts right while raising an inch or so...I don't want my motor taking that stress by being tied to the trailer.
