When you don't support your motor to the trailer you allow the bounce factor everytime your boat trailer hits a bump. The force of the weight of the motor is still allowed to transfer to the transom with this type of saver....just a heads ups </TD></TR></TABLE>

You've obviously never followed a boat down a bumpy road that's using a LockNStow. With a transom saver the motor is subjected to a lot of shock because the transom saver is braced to the trailer and the boat and trailer are separate.
With the LockNStow, the motor and boat are "one piece" and separate from the trailer.
I've used both and will never use a regular transom saver ever again; I've trailered many miles with the LockNStow and it's excellent.
