Transom saver

Don't forget to take off your transom saver before launch. It makes a terrible noise when you put the engine in gear. :

Been there, done that.

But only once!

Never tried to launch with a transom saver. I no longer use em but have opted for a Motormate instead. Hate to think about launching with the motormate in place. Would not make any noise but sure would not be able to go anywhere but a straight line. Just another reason why the make ready script is so important for a whole bunch of reasons.

Drain plug yes, transom saver no, straps no.

I've not done that yet with my transom saver

My only thing was I left the rear transom straps connected

It took me a minute to figure out why the front of the boat was floating off the trailer but the back wasn't moving

Sure makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one to do that.
