I use one and I think there are others here that use them. I have not had/seen any problems with mine.
I used one on a 225 HPDI, then went back to the transom saver. The M-Y wedge didn't get the skeg up high enough off the ground for my comfort. Its not a huge investment so if it doesn't work out, you're not out a ton of money. I sold mine very quickly so there's always someone else that may want to give it a shot.

I am using the m y wedge...it works great.... on my 300 hpdi
I have been using it for a while, would recommend also to use clips on the steering rams to keep the motor straight. It does tend to let the motor swing on winding roads.
Do you guys that use them use 1 or two rams?
thanks
do you ise two? one for each ram?
Just one... There is a zerk fitting that will hit it on the other side. Having hyd steering the motor may turn a very little in a long drive,But in no way will it flop around in turns.

Yes the kit comes with two...I use them both..I saw Joe Thomas with them in his hand on one of his TV shows and sent him an e-mail asking what there where.
