Please Note: Please measure the lower unit of your motor before purchase. Direct any questions to Motormate customer service: 1-844-668-6768
Your outboard motor is a major investment, and protecting it while transporting it to the water should be a top priority. The Motormate Yamaha Locking System locks most Yamaha outboard motors in place, preventing costly damage to your steering system and excess torque on your transom. The Motormate Locking System also releases pressure off your hydraulic system.
Guy Eakers, Ott Defoe, Bryan Thrift, Randall Tharp, Aaron Martens, Timmy Horton and Jason Christies are just a few of the Elite Series and FLW pro’s who rely on Motormate Locking Systems to protect their motors and transoms when traveling across the Country.

Comments: Customer service is top notch, welds broke after years of use and tons of miles on rough highways and roads, snapped a few pictures and they stood behind their product 100%

Comments: This is the best transom save I have used. I use it on my skeeter with a 250 sho and I can shake the entire trailer and boat from the mount. Very secure and they stand behind their product.

Comments: The SS brackets are weak started to crack, contacted them sent pic of what happen. In order for them to consider making it right l had to jump though all these hoops. I told them to forget it. The warranty is not worth the paper it on

Comments: i purchased a mount for my 200hp yamaha the brackets for the motor was made of steel they have almost rusted to nothing bad design to start with called to get stainless steel and they want to rob you with something that should have come with unit to start with then to cap it off they want to charge 29.00 just to ship them it is really a rip off for something they should have furnished from the start
From: Billy Sellers: Doe Run, GA 1/3/17
Comments: I am impressed with it. Works as advertised with no movement. Much better than the one that came with my SHO and definitely a better concept then the trailer bar.

Comments: When I first got it and tried to instill would clear engine mount. With little to no help from Motormate I decided if I wanted this to work. I would have to do a bit of grinding-3/16 each side for clearance. I did and it works great after doing this
From: Jerry: Oceanside, CA 2/4/15
Comments: This thing is awesome. It took me 20 minutes to install and it locks the motor down. I have the 250 SHO 4 stroke. I would recommend it to anyone.
From: AC: TX 1/19/15
Comments: Motormate has a new re-designed, stronger bracket that is all stainless steel. Just call customer service and they will help you out any way they can.

Comments: This thing works great Motor has no bounch or shake holds it rock solid(you try shake the motor the whole boat and trailer move). So much easier then climbing under boat to line up and put motor sticks on. Also doesn't leave marks all over your lower unit. Easy to store when you take it off. First one of this style I have found that fits a Yamaha.

Comments: Great product but the brackets are a little on the weak side. Have to keep an eye on them every time I use it and bend them back in a little after a few trips but nothing more than an 1/8th.
From: Allen: USA 3/16/14
Comments: Great concept, brackets are to weak for bigger motors. Need to beef up the brackets. Learned from experience.
From: QR: AZ 3/10/14
