T-H Marine Motor Stik MSS-1 Outboard Motor Support Stick Pair - Transom Saver for 150 HP+ Outboards

The T-H Marine Motor Stik MSS-1 is a pair of outboard motor support sticks built to protect your engine and hydraulic system while trailering. Also known as an H bracket, motor toter, transom saver, or motor support, this product fits over the trim rams of your outboard, bracing the motor against the bracket so the hydraulic tilt system is not left carrying the full load of the engine over rough roads. It is designed for most outboards rated 150 horsepower and up that use exposed trim rams.

Each stick measures 8 1/2 inches long and is built from strong aluminum tubing with molded ends, giving it durability for repeated use in both salt and fresh water without the bulk of a traditional transom saver bar. The compact design makes it easy to install before towing and remove before launching, and just as easy to store in between trips.

One fitment note to be aware of: on some Yamaha motors, a grease fitting is located on the port side trim ram. In that application, use only a single Motor Stik on the starboard side ram.
