How Much Weight is Too Much? Got New to Me Engine

[macojoe]

Thanks to advances in boat-building technology over the last decade, modern transoms are created to withstand torque. That’s why the m-ywedge™ is so long overdue. It’s only eight inches long, so it fits in any boat storage compartment, unlike the old style transom saver. It works with manual or hydraulic jack plates, and regular or long shaft models. It’s virtually indestructible as well as UV and saltwater resistant. It won’t harm the trailer, outboard or boat and perhaps most importantly, it completely eliminates the need to lean underneath the boat for installation, nothing to hold on to.

Looks good, but as the add above states,

We are not talking about new boats, we are talking about 20+ year old boats that were never built to with stand the toruqe!!

400+ pounds sticking out 3 feet from the transom is a lot of tourqe, and I anit taking any chances on my 31 year old boat!
Looks like crap, but works, and just takes 1 min longer to hook up!
I will get a pic later, but its home made and looks ruff, but it works!!
