Hey, I like that to that way everything is tied to the boat not the trailer. I don't use one myself but I do stack stroke limiters around the cylinder shaft when I haul long distances, it keeps the pressure off the trim. We use them all the time on the haybine and brush Hogs on the farm, they really work nice. Takes about 30 secs to put them on, Plus they are pretty cheap to buy at Tractor Supply.

Chomper,

Man, i really do not see what you are talking about. But it sound good to me

Can you explain me what you do .... i do not know mechanics at all .

They are basically spacers that snap around the trim cylinder shaft. they are built for limiting the amount you can retract the shaft. We use them on the brush hog so we can just put the lever down all the way without running the blades in the ground. I have to pull my boat 2.5 hrs so I always use them so the trim isn't under pressure. I also have big rubber washers I put above and below to add some cushin to it. (actually the washers are old cut up crocs). I borrowed this pic from Tractor Supply. I got the idea from the m-ywedge thing they sell for outboards.

To take it a step further, my hull is strapped tight to the trailer as well, so it all stays together..if one bounces, they all bounce as one unit...and a bouncing, unsupported, 500 lb anything attached to the tranny is gonna flex that tranny...

Planning on doing some bouncing on Mrs. Blue's tranny this weekend. No transom saver. :hi:
