Yamaha Transom Saver Alternative - 4-stroke, 200-250hp SHO Outboard Motors (Black)

I was told by a boat mechanic he highly recommended this product. I have several of these type of products so far this is the best.

This one is a replacement for a 10 year old motormate. Was still working fine but long in the tooth. Love the new colors

I use this to secure the motor during transport. Motor is very secure now with this motor mate. And the price was great! These are not available in this area so I would recommend this product highly.

Nowhere in the description does it say it only fits 2014 and earlier Yamaha 250 SHO motors but when you get the box, it clearly says so as you can see in the picture. The brackets that come with it do not fit newer motors! I emailed the company and they replied with just return it and weren't interested in making brackets that fit. For the past 10 years they've done nothing to make brackets for the newer motor, in fact, acted surprised when I sent them the pictures. I've always used Motormate on other motors that didn't need a bracket but my new boat has a $22,000 motor that can only be supported with a single Yamaha support which is nowhere near the support necessary.

Easy install. Engine is solid as a rock once trimmed down on this. Doest shake or move no matter how hard you try and make it. Worked with my 2012 yamaha vmax sho 200hp.

Your outboard is solid and won't budge while towing

Worth the money! Got rid of steering stabilizers and transom saver that barely worked or popped off.

Had it about 8 months now seems like it’s going to last awhile but so far so good. Just for the info I’m in fresh water only.
