Some of the toughest punishment our products get is not on the water, but on the road. Our first preference is that the trolling motor be removed during trailering. If the motor is removed, the Remote-Troll may be left in place while trailering. With today’s heavier motors, we realize that many people find it impractical to remove the trolling motor. That heavier motor, though, is even harder on your boat and the Remote-Troll. If the motor is going to be left in place, a “transom saver” bracket must be used. This is a non-flexible strut that extends from your trailer to the bottom of the motor, and takes the pressure and vibration off of the Remote-Troll and your transom or swim platform. These struts can be purchased from your marine products dealer, usually for $25-$50. Failure to either remove the motor or use a non-flexible strut during trailering will void your Remote-Troll warranty.
