Installation Guide
- Trim your outboard motor to the full “up” position.
- Slide the QuickMarine Transom Saver Wedge over the main tilt/trim ram, ensuring a snug fit.
- Slowly lower the motor until its weight rests securely on the wedge. The wedge should absorb the pressure and prevent movement.
- For added stability, attach the two included motor locks (centering clips) to the hydraulic steering actuator rods on each side of the motor.
- Before trailering, double-check that the motor is firmly supported by the wedge and the steering is stabilized by the clips.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: This transom saver is designed for outboards with a single ram power tilt and trim system. It is compatible with most models from Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Evinrude/Johnson, and Tohatsu. Please check your system to ensure it uses a single central ram for tilting.
Q: What is the benefit of this over a traditional transom saver bar?
A: Unlike traditional bars that connect the motor to the trailer, our wedge-style saver works directly on the tilt ram. This reduces stress on the boat’s transom and the motor’s mounting brackets. It's also faster to install and remove and does not require you to get under the boat.
Q: Is this safe to use in saltwater?
A: Yes, the high-density EPDM rubber is formulated to resist damage from both saltwater and freshwater environments, preventing cracking and discoloration.
