"I belive the manual says no.

"I belive the manual says no. This is a highly opinionated subject. Many like "transom savers" other don't care.

What I do, and this is just me, is tilt the engine down so the trim cylinders are touching. My reasoning is if the transom can take the pressure of the engine "pushing" against it while bouncing over waves, what is a little bounce while driving down the road? Just my $.02."
