Just wondered if anyone has tried either of these? Looks like a good idea just curious how well they work.

Looks like all of the weight is still on the transom. emoScratch

<font face="georgia,palatino" size="2">I runa system that is about the same as the first choice. Basically all of the weight is on the transom. The one upside that I see is if you are traveling a bumpy area the motor is not slamming down onto a third party which may be going in the opposite direction if the boat bounces on the trailer.On most smooth surfaces it probably doesn't matter.</font>

I just use the thing that goes on,on the rollers on the trailer,attaches to the lower unit and then stretches to the rollers,it seems to keep from bouncing.

I think that as long as you keep the motor from bouncing around and secure then your ok. The amount of stress on a transom is gonna be way more on the water than going down the road.

Bullet doesnt recommend using a motor support that is resting on the trailer. I use something similar to the first unit.
