Thread: Transom saver

I have a friend who just bought a brand new boat from bass pro shop with a 50 horse Merc on it. I like to know if anyone knows of any company that makes short shift transom saver for the 50 horse. Thank you

Every transom saver I've ever seen was adjustable and doesn't matter what HP or brand the motor was. Is there some reason a normal transom saver won't fit his motor/trailer combination?

The transom saver we are looking for is not attached to the trailer. It’s about 12” to 18” long

You've got me curious now. If it doesn't lock the motor to the trailer then what does it hook to?

Would think the BP where you purchased it could specify what brand and model is required. You could order on-line or pick up in the store.

I was at the bass pro shop at Springfield and they could not find anything to work. They looked and could not find anything in their catalog.

Kinda disappointing they don’t have anything for their own product.

This type toter (shown in ArkieJason's pic) is made for specific motors, not the boat or trailer. It does not attach to the boat or trailer.
Bass Pro/Cabela's sells the MotorMate Outboard Motor Locking System which is very similar.
Regardless, they all have to be matched to your motor brand & size.
Some like this type toter, others report problems with them.

I think he’s talking about the ones like this



Not sure about a 50 hp model but check out d26 fishing
