Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this will fit my engine?
A: This wedge is designed for outboard motors with a single ram hydraulic tilt system. Please review the compatible models tables on this page. It is not compatible with triple-ram systems or 2023+ Yamaha 150-200 HP models.

Q: How many wedges do I need?
A: For most engines up to 175 HP, one wedge is sufficient. For heavier engines, such as the Mercury Verado V6/V8 and Racing models (250 HP+), we strongly recommend using two wedges for adequate support.

Q: How does this protect my motor?
A: It absorbs pressure and impact by creating a solid cushion between the outboard's midsection and the main bracket, preventing the motor from bouncing and putting strain on the hydraulic seals and transom during transport.

Q: What is the benefit of EPDM rubber?
A: EPDM rubber offers excellent resistance to UV rays, ozone, saltwater, and extreme temperatures, ensuring the wedge will not crack or degrade over time in a marine environment.
