The Benefits of Using a Transom Saver

Do you need a transom saver on your boat? We recommend that boat owners towing boats with outboard motors add a transom saver whenever possible.

The transom saver prevents vibration damage to the boat’s transom during normal towing. As you tow a boat trailer over normal roads, there’s a moderate amount of vibration from the outboard against the transom. If you travel over rough terrain, however, such as gravel roads leading to ponds, lakes or other recreational areas, your boat’s outboard may vibrate more than usual. These jounces and shakes can damage the transom over time.

A transom saver acts as a buffer for these shocks. It transfers the shock from the transom to the springs of the trailer, so that your trailer absorbs the bounces, not the rigid transom.

Transom savers work best when they fit your boat and outboard well. Ve-Ve Inc. offers four frame mounts, two straight and two formed, as well as four roller mounts, also two straight and two formed, for short and long transoms. If you’re not sure which one to buy, you can use the contact us form on our website to drop us a quick question. We’re happy to help you find the right transom saver for your boat.
