Springfield 1780245 Guardian Motor Support Econ Kit, Adjusts 21.5-33 Inch

The Springfield 1780245 Guardian Motor Support Econ Kit is a bolt-on and over-the-roller transom saver designed to protect the leading edge of an outboard motor's lower unit during trailering and transport. It adjusts to fit a 21.5 to 33 inch range, making it suitable for a variety of trailer and motor setups. The support reduces wear on the steering mechanism by taking stress off the motor and transom while the boat is on the trailer, helping prevent the lower unit from bouncing or swinging during transit.

The kit features a narrow cast aluminum head paired with composite pivoting motor supports, combining a durable metal core with lightweight, wear-resistant contact points. This economy combo design offers both a bolt-on mounting option and an over-the-roller mounting option, giving installers flexibility depending on their trailer configuration. The unit is finished in black and is backed by a 5-year warranty.
