    Transom Saver

    Whenever trailering my boat, my motor turns on me, even with the transom saver hooked up. I recently greased the turning mechanism on the motor.

    Trailer Help

    I have a 2006 tracker pro team 175 and just recently realized the axle is bent on the trailer in the middle. I took it to get looked at and the marina told me that it is suppose to be like that and I have nothing to worry about. Can anyone tell me if theirs is the same way?
