Mike,

I think those only help the hydrolics in your TnT. They don't take pressure off of the transom like a saver does that hooks to the trailer.

I'm certainly not an expert in this, and not a physicist, but here's my two cents...

the weight of the motor will be on the transom, bouncing around, regardless of absence or presence of transom saver device...

isn't the transom saver's role, to support weight, and reduce bounce, when motor is trailered at an angle? i just don't see how it would be much use when motor is trailered in vertical position....
I agree 100%
