Transom saver needed?

[kitman]

Hi there, any suggestions do I need a transom saver on my 15hp 110lbs outboard with 11ft inflatable boat ?
Pic attached.....thank you for any suggestion.

I think so. You might want to raise the leg so your prop doesn't get wrecked by a speed bump or something. Then use a transom saver to prevent excessive bouncing and absorb shock of the bouncing outboard which is harmful to your transom.

put the motor on the shallow water setting and use an adjustable strap to hold it from bouncing.

Should I hold it from the motor to the trailer or transom? Thank you.

You dont need a transom saver. Those are a money sink. Tow with it semi trimmed up should be good to go. Transom savers are a waste of time

Just looked at your picture. your transom is a lot smaller than mine. My 150 is the same size as the transom. In your case I would brace it. Motor to trailer.
