T-H Marine Trailering Clips
Protecting Your Sterndrive on the Road with T-H Marine Trailering Clips
Every time a trailered boat hits a bump, pothole, or highway expansion joint, the full weight of the sterndrive surges against the hydraulic tilt and trim system. Over time, that repetitive stress silently wears down the very components that keep your boat performing on the water. T-H Marine — a family-owned manufacturer of boat parts and accessories founded in 1975 — engineered their Trailering Clips specifically to address this problem before it becomes an expensive repair.
What T-H Marine Trailering Clips Do
T-H Marine Sterndrive Trailering Clips protect stern drive units while trailering or storing by relieving stress on the hydraulic tilt and trim system — transferring the stern drive weight from the hydraulic cylinders to the transom bracket — and preventing damage from weight surges during trailering. Think of them as a simple mechanical insurance policy for one of the most vulnerable parts of your drivetrain.
The clips increase the life of the o-rings, internal seals, and valves in the hydraulic system — components that are costly and time-consuming to replace. The payoff is significant: a small, inexpensive accessory that extends the lifespan of a major mechanical system.
T-H Marine TC-1-DP: Built for Marine Environments
T-H Marine's flagship trailering clip, the TC-1-DP, is purpose-built for real-world marine conditions. T-H Marine Trailering Clips are resistant to UV rays, gasoline, oil, and other marine chemicals — meaning they won't degrade sitting on your trailer in the sun or after contact with common boat fluids. The clips fit all sterndrives with 3/4" hydraulic rams, including MerCruiser Alpha I, Alpha I Generation II, Bravo I, Bravo II, Bravo III, and Blackhawk stern drives, and may be trimmed to fit shorter rams.
The clips are packaged in pairs with a bright cord to keep the units together — a practical touch that makes them easy to store on board so they're always handy when you rig and de-rig at the ramp.

T-H Marine's personnel are boaters and fishermen who know what boating is all about, and their products can be found on almost every recreational boat in the U.S. That same real-world perspective is evident in a product as straightforward as the TC-1-DP: no unnecessary complexity, just a reliable clip that does its job mile after mile. T-H Marine has built a reputation as a reliable source for practical, durable boat parts and accessories found on recreational boats and fishing vessels across the country.
