2017 170 MONTAUK Unusual Transom Saver
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2023 8:02 pm
Give me advice on installation of a transom saver mechanism to support the engine on my 2017 170 MONTAUK. Am I correctly installing the transom saver as seen below in Figure 1?
The transom-saver only has about 4.5-inches of clearance from elbow of transom saver to the road. That seems wrong--too close to road--and with a good bounce it will bottom out.
This trailer came from previous owner with this transom saver, and there is a connector for it on the trailer. It appears the transom saver can be configured multiple ways by moving the bolts around. I can't seem to get it any better than seen above.
