Correct Install of MotorMate?

[Bassmeister]

I have my engine jacked high 1" below the pad, and a noseconed magnum lower I'm good in the bottom hole. Depends on your set up....experiment...

I don’t typically buy things because they “ look cool” I certainly don’t care what you do , have , install or add to YOUR boat, I simply asked about the functionality of the product.

I Call Bull Sh*t!! Its not how good its how good you look...

I know some is not going to believe this but 90% of the motor weight is on the pivot shaft. The other 10% is on the tilt/trim rams. All of this is bolted to the transom. don't believe me? Knock out the pin on the tilt ram and see how easy it is to lift your motor by the lower unit. It may just surprise you at how little weight there is. I learned this when I had to replace a trim unit on a Merc 200EFi.

These "transom saver" threads read like an episode of X Files at times....

I see the hypothesis. What’s the solution?

Use what ever you like, all you need to do is keep the hydraulics from bouncing so the seals don't blow.

Lots of ammo on both sides of this issue. Use what you like.
