But Mercury says if you can't tow with your motor in the vertical position, use a support device. So I guess a transom saver is in my future
I did take advantage of some gorgeous weather to get a little engine break in done and knock the newness off with a few cutthroats.
Now if I can just get that i-pilot figured out......
We have had this conversation with Mr Shane before, it is no different than talking about if Dodge or Chevy are better, everyone has an opinion.
I and many others on this site have used transom savers for many many year with zero issues. IMO it has a lot to do with how much downward pressure you put on the transom saver and how long you leave it on. If you preload it too much, that is not good and I always take the pressure off when I get home. Because I often time fish very early and late in the year, I put the motor down when I get home, so water does not freeze in the prop and foot area, so it's no big deal to just do it all year long, just my opinion.
Glad you were able to get your new boat out and begin to get it broke in, even caught a few fish in the process, you can't beat that on a nice Fall day. What part of your I-Pilot are you having a hard time figuring out?
