Best transom saver for a vintage in-line six? 12 years 5 months ago #60565

JetDeville700 Topic Author Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 3271 Karma: 38 Thank you received: 3	Last one I had ate away at the leading edge of my motor. Gonna fix it with some JB Weld, but sure would like some specific suggestions for a transom saver that does not eat up the leading edge of my motor. Thanks!

Hi,
We stock a Springfield one @ $24.99, and a Swivl-Eze one @ $34.99 (we can convert this one to over-the-roller if preferred). They can be viewed on this page of our website: fergusonpoolemarine.com/trailerpartshitches.html (near the bottom of this page).

The Springfield is good quality.
The Swivl-Eze is hard to beat.

Best Regards,
Joe

peterstransky Offline Expert Boarder Posts: 353 Karma: 11 Thank you received: 0	I use this one that I got at west marine. Adjustable. The pads never marred the finish (works great to prop open the hood of a car too) Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

the savage ii Offline Expert Boarder Posts: 398 Karma: 24 Thank you received: 0	Mine on my in-line 6 Merc 1000. Works great. Similar to the one Ron shows you above. The fork that fits the lower unit is heavy rubber padding. Bought it at WalMarts. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

All Dunn II Offline Contributing Member Posts: 592 Karma: 20 Thank you received: 14	I have one like the Attwood at the website. The pads are a hard plastic, so I use a small rolled up towel to pad it a little more. Been using it for 5 years and hasn't left a mark on my '63 Merc 850. I had to cut the bar to the right length, but it works great. Bill Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
