Transom saver advice needed

[fowlthing]

I have Ranger 522 with Yamaha 250. Had issues with tilt piston. Mechanic suggested transom saver that rests on trailer. The Yamaha tube seems to put all the pressure on the piston

 

I bought a transom saver that rests against trailer  seems sturdy but it broke twice on first trip. Should i get the type that looks like an H and if so what brand?

 

thanks for any help. 

 

Caught 6 this morning out of Big M. Swim bait in 30-40 foot and Ned rig near bluff.

I have the Yamaha tube and it works fine. Much less on eBay than in stores.

lock n haul.  it is simple, but also does what you want it to do and that is to protect the transom.  it also locks the motor where it has absolutely no movement.  go to their website and watch the videos while on the trailer in tow.  i have tried them all, and this is the one that will do the job.  protects the transom and also locks the steering down for no motor movement period.

I used the lock n haul for several years.  It is a good unit but I let it go with the boat.  Now I use the My Wedge.
