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...

you just don't understand nor listen the hull flex's i don't care how tight they are to the trailer they flex unless you pull it down so tight the hull have become bowed around your trailer rollers or bunks to the point of almost cracking your hull. they do flex we all tie them down to tow. but just listen they flex no matter and the transom saver does not give if it's tied to the trailer but the drain plug will work great and not hurt the hull they make one that ties to the transom eyes as well.

If Reel, or Blue Runner, or Phat Daddy, or MJ want to flex on a 500 pound tranny(whether they leave the plug in or the plug out) who am I or Mr. Transom Saver to stop them. To each they're own.

Ten foot pole rule... For sure.
 I have no motor support. Trim pump just started leaking. I like Chomper's idea best.

Trailering
I too had had problems from time to time with support issues for the motor while trailering. Rebuilding the trim cylinder's began to get waaaay to costly so I came up with this idea....It's function is the same as some of the other devices sold on the market, but I just used some scrap 2 x 6's I had around the garage and I put together this little piece...The weight of the motor rides on the wood block, which has a slight give for any hard shocks, and it also takes all the weight off of the trim cylinders.... I have some pics for you to look at........the strings on each side are just to hold it in place when I hook it up.
