Just wondering, what peoples preferences are when travelling?

Yeah i might look in to that, just trying to find the right one is the problem. I might just see if i can make one also. Thanks

you can also make one with 2 bottle screws & a piece of pipe   

purchase 2 R W O bottle screws from the yachting shop , a length of stainless steel pipe , the length can be determined once the motor is in the most upper position +/- , measure the diameter of the body on the R W O bottle screw the inside diameter of the pipe place the bottle screw in the pipe & tig weld the body to one end of the pipe , cut or leave the eye on at the end of the bottle screw , make a V or U shaped bracket from 25/30mm stainless flat bar tig weld this to the end of bottle screw on the eye or shaft this is for the leg to sit in .
on the other end of pipe do the same ,tIg weld R W O   to pipe [ make sure you use the correct threads on either end of the pipe as the R W O ,s have a left & right hand thread on either end on the trailer make a bracket or some sort of contraption for the other end of R W O bottle screw to fit onto the trailer , drill a hole in the center of the pipe put a piece of round bar through this is then used to turn the extended bottle screw you have made .
to save money buy one R W O & cut in half ,
Good luck M8t     

Prefer mine 1/2 way up resting on the ram only,pressure on a ram is good for the seal,also the ram is cetralized so weight is shared evenly on the pivot shaft.

Was told its best to keep pressure on the ram from a local hydralic expert,the downward pressure keeps the seal pushed tightly to the shaft enshuring it stays in top condition

I also grease the main and pivot shaft after every use on my merc so they dont wear prematurly

I suppose I had better go get a proper set of ram /transom saver soon. Where canI get them? Ta

Good point!l
