Transom Support Saver – Fits Marine Outboard Engines with Single Ram Tilt/Trim Systems

This transom support saver is engineered to stabilize outboard engines during trailering, effectively reducing stress on the boat’s transom and the engine’s tilt/trim system.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this fits my single-ram engine?
A: First, verify your engine has a single tilt/trim ram. Next, check our compatible models table for your engine's brand, model, and year range. This product is specifically designed to replace parts like the QuickMarine TS004 for a wide variety of outboards.

Q: What is the purpose of the included blue clips?
A: The two blue clips are Outboard Steer Stop Stabilizers. They attach to your hydraulic steering rams to prevent the engine from turning side-to-side during trailering, protecting your steering system from damage.

Q: Is the rubber material safe for my engine's finish?
A: Yes, it is made from High Density EPDM Rubber, a durable material chosen to absorb trailering shock and vibration without scratching or damaging your engine's hydraulic ram or housing.

Q: How does this device protect my boat's transom?
A: By supporting the cantilevered weight of the outboard, it stabilizes the engine and dampens vibrations from the road. This significantly reduces stress on the boat's transom, engine brackets, and the hydraulic tilt system, preventing costly damage over time.
