    Does Motor Height Matter When Trailering

    So I just bought a new Attwood heavy duty transom saver and it's a few inches longer than my previous one. My trim is almost maxed out when using this transom saver though which has me worried it's doing more harm than good. Is this angle safe to trailer at or should I cut the transom saver down a few inches

    Blue Steel is correct. You're good. If you are still concerned it wouldn't hurt a thing to cut your Attwood down a few inches because you will still be plenty high enough.

    higher puts more weight over the transon and less on attwood but too high makes it easier to get hit in traffic--so a give and take issue
