Transom Saver Motor Support – Fits Single Ram Outboard Motors (Replaces M-Y Wedge)

Transom Saver Motor Support – Fits Single Ram Outboard Motors

This universal transom saver is designed for outboard motors equipped with a single hydraulic ram trim/tilt system. It provides a stable cushion between the motor's sterndrive and the transom, absorbing road shock and reducing stress during trailering. This prevents damage to the hydraulic system, gimbal, and steering components, ensuring your motor remains secure during transport.

It fits a wide range of engines from major brands including Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Tohatsu, and Evinrude/Johnson. This wedge is a direct replacement for parts like the M-Y Wedge Transom Saver, QuickMarine Transom Support, and is partially compatible with the DD26 Mean Mount.

• Installation Method: Installs easily by wedging between the hydraulic ram and the motor tilt tube.
• Material: Constructed from high-density EPDM rubber to absorb vibration without scratching engine components.
• Included Hardware: Some packages include two motor steering stabilizer clips to prevent unwanted side-to-side motor movement.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this transom saver fits my motor?

First, verify your outboard has a single hydraulic ram for the trim/tilt system. This product is not for dual-ram systems. Second, check the "Compatible Engine Models" table; if your engine's HP and model type (e.g., Yamaha F115LB) are listed, it will fit.

Is this safe for trailering on the highway?

Yes, it is specifically designed for trailering. The EPDM rubber absorbs road shock and vibration, protecting the motor’s hydraulic system and the boat’s transom from sustained stress and potential damage during transport.

What are the benefits of the EPDM rubber material?

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber is known for its excellent resistance to UV rays, ozone, weather, and temperature extremes. It is durable, will not absorb water, and is soft enough to prevent scratching or marking your motor's finish.
