Wedge Transom Saver Motor Toter – Fits Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, Johnson/Evinrude & Suzuki Outboards

This wedge-style transom saver provides essential support for outboard engines equipped with 2 or 3-ram power trim/tilt systems.

It is designed to protect your investment by absorbing road shock and preventing unwanted engine movement.

This unit is a direct replacement for Yamaha part number MAR-MTSPT-YM-08 and the M-Y Wedge Universal Motor Support. It is compatible with a wide range of outboard models from major brands, ensuring broad application.

• Installation Method: Slides directly over the trim/tilt piston rod for a secure fit.
• Included Hardware: Comes complete with a set of steering stop locks (centering clips) to prevent engine swing.
• Material: Constructed from UV and saltwater-resistant EPDM rubber and high-tech plastic for durability.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this will fit my specific outboard model?

A: This transom saver is designed for a wide range of Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, Johnson/Evinrude, and Suzuki outboards with 2 or 3-ram trim/tilt systems. Please consult the "Compatible Engine Models" table and confirm your engine's HP and brand. The most important check is ensuring your motor has an exposed trim/tilt rod for the wedge to slide onto.

Q: My Yamaha V8 engine has two trim rods. Do I need two of these?

A: Yes, for Yamaha V-8 models (F300-F350), you must use two transom savers—one for the port and one for the starboard trim rod—for proper support.

Q: What are the included clips for?

A: The included clips are steering stabilizers, also known as centering clips. They attach to your boat's hydraulic steering rods to lock the engine in a straight position and prevent it from turning and shifting while trailering.
