I was reading pros and cons of transom savers, and have not used mine even though the boat/trailer came with it. The main con from what I read was that if you had a boat on a trailer (especially rollers) and the boat inched forward (i.e. under heavy braking), the transom saver would put upward stress on the motor.
So I was thinking, what if you had a V-shaped piece of something rigid where the top arms hooks over the back of the transom on both sides of the motor, and the bottom of the V supports the transom saver rod just above the drain hole. This would distribute the weight fairly well, and would not damage the motor/hydraulics/transom if the boat shifts while being transported. It could be used in moorage as well...
