    quote Chinewalker:

    Also, a transom saver transmits any trailer stresses to the motor. If you make an emergency stop and the boat shifts, the motor can’t move with it. Yeah, I know, we ALWAYS tie our boats tightly, don’t we? 😉

    Movement allows for deflection. A transom saver would be a restraint and would prevent movement and flex of the transom.
    Until someone measures it either opinion is correct.
