Attwood Marine Transom Savers & Motor Supports

Attwood Marine: Built to Protect Your Transom on Every Mile of Road

Every time you trailer your boat, your outboard motor puts serious stress on one of the most critical structural points of your hull. Transom savers and motor supports exist for exactly this reason — and few brands have thought more carefully about this problem than Attwood Marine. With over 100 years of experience engineering marine accessories to the highest USCG, ABYC, and CE standards, Attwood brings that same precision and durability to the humble but essential transom saver.

Why a Transom Saver Matters

A lifted outboard puts hundreds of foot-pounds of pressure on the transom, especially during trailering. Without a dedicated support, that cantilevered weight — combined with road vibration and bump shock — can stress the transom, fatigue the tilt mechanism, and wear out steering components well ahead of schedule. A quality transom saver transfers that load from the motor's tilt system and transom bracket to the trailer itself, where it belongs.

Attwood's Transom Saver Lineup

Attwood offers several distinct product lines within this category, each engineered for a specific trailering need:

• Adjustable Transom Savers — The adjustable lineup spans sizes from 23" to 35" (composite head) all the way up to 36"–60" heavy-duty models, available with roller or trailer mount brackets to fit virtually any trailer configuration.
• Heavy-Duty Transom Savers (Swivl-Eze Series) — Built with durable aluminum construction and an adjustable design with replaceable pads, these ensure a secure, damage-free transport for all outboard brands. Designed to support the weight of an outboard engine in the tilted position, these savers cushion engine and steering components from road shock and vibration, with corrosion-resistant aluminum construction providing adjustability for any installation.
• Shock-Absorbing Transom Savers — A spring-loaded design partially absorbs road shock and reduces wear and tear on the transom during transport, and works great with motors that have hydraulic trim/tilt.

The Attwood Difference in This Category

Attwood's adjustable toggles feature replaceable rubber pads, giving boaters long-term value and the ability to refresh contact points without replacing the entire unit. This approach reflects a broader Attwood philosophy: for over 100 years, their products and systems have been designed and tested against the highest performance and regulatory standards in the industry.

Whether you run a small tiller-steer outboard or a large four-stroke motor on an offshore hull, Attwood's range of adjustable lengths and mounting bracket options — roller mount, bolt-on, or combination roller/bolt — means there's a fit for your specific trailer and engine combination. Clear anodized tube construction and pro-adjustable heads further distinguish the heavy-duty models , offering both corrosion resistance and fine-tuned fitment on the water ramp or in the driveway.

For boaters who take their equipment seriously, pairing a quality outboard with an Attwood transom saver is one of the simplest, most cost-effective maintenance decisions you can make before every tow.
