Harborwright sells the part only — we don't install it. These are general steps; your boat and the maker's manual come first. If you're not sure, have a marine shop fit it.
Safety: Use it only with the boat on the trailer, never in the water, and take it off before launching. Not for non-tilt or non-trim motors.
Steps
- With the boat on the trailer, measure from the motor's lower unit to the trailer's rear crossmember or roller bracket to confirm the size you picked.
- Mount the trailer end: drill and bolt the trailer mounting bracket to the crossmember, or fix the end straight to a roller bracket, whichever suits your trailer.
- Set the head against the lower unit, adjust the length and lock it.
- Trim the motor down onto the saver until it's snug (don't force it), then wrap the rubber strap.
- Remove it before every launch.
