Your outboard motor is a major investment, and protecting it while transporting it to the water should be a top priority. The Motormate Mercury Locking System locks most Mercury 2-Stroke 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 Christie 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: Simply the best I have used motor mate products for years I have a motor toter on my boat now that is 5 years old the plastic protecters came out recently (i fish 5 to 7 days a week) they get a lot of use I called customer service asked if I could order just the ends the lady I spoke with was very friendly and professional asked for my motor information and how old it was asked for my mailing address said I will get you a set in the mail asked do you need my card number she said no charge these folks stand behind what they sell

Comments: One problem with this device, the plastic piece comes off way too easily. I love the product & it really holds the motor well; however, for the price, the plastic piece on the end shouldn't disappear after only a few fishing trips! Now, I'm missing one, which makes only one side of the mount make contact. They need to offer replacement pieces available to everyone who has one of these, because eventually, the plastic piece WILL come off. Maybe a redesign is in order, or at least a better way to hold the pieces on. Other than that, the product is great!

Comments: HAVE HAD MY BOAT FOR 8 YEARS STARTED USING MOTORMATE 6 MONTHS AGO. NOW HAVE 2 CRACKS IN MY TRANSOM. THIS IS ON A ALUMINUM BOAT. IT MAY HOLD MOTOR BETTER THAN REGULAR TRANSOM SAVOR BUT I DONT THINK IT SUPPORTS THE TRANSOM LIKE IT SHOULD.

Comments: I just put this on my boat and set the motor down on it. WOW!! It's solid as can be and I wish I'd have known about this product a long time ago. Best $115 I've spent on my boat.

Comments: I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. Super easy to use, and rock solid. My Merc EFI 150 doesn't move at all when I'm towing. Plus I ordered this on a Friday morning and it was on my doorstep the very next morning. That's fantastic. TW is the absolutely the best there is!!!!!

Comments: Rock solid. Better than anything I have tried or seen. Best money you will spend. I am always skeptical about products but I went ahead based on reviews I read and tried the Motormate. By far the best you will not regret it for one second. Holds my motor higher off ground so much better ground clearance which in Missouri is a must.

Comments: absolutely no movement from your motor when you get on the road. Super stable. Best money I've spent.

Comments: I agree with everyone else this thing is the best ...but also their customer service is top notch i lost one of the plastic pieces out of mine called them and they sent me two new ones free of charge. I had it in 3 days!!! They stand behind their products. Truly awesome

Comments: I have the original one and have been using it for over 14 years without any issues on the back of my Ranger. I have used it towing all over the N.E. from the Potomac to Champlain. If you ever drove through Pa you know how bad some of our roads are the product work great best 100.00 you'll ever spend for your boat.

Comments: I've had my Motormate for 3 years and couldn't imagine towing my boat without it. A great value to protect your investment. Give that old transom-saver to the dump.
From: Rick: Winder, GA
Comments: Wow...I can't believe the way the motormate stabilizes my motor. There is no play in the linkage what so ever. It is super easy to install and will fit in any compartment on my boat. Thank you Motormate for such a fine product. I have tried several but this is by far superIor!!
From: Scott: Dandridge TN
Comments: This is the best by far, Engine Stabilizer built today. Easy to use, built tough, the best components!!! Buy this product and you'll save your engine, your transom and your wallet. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it 12.
