Anyone got a better pix of the Lock N Stow, or a link to a website? The sales jargon on the Cabela's site says it's only made for Mercs?

I use a home made version that seems to work well. Yes all things flex and move during trailering and so will the transom saver set up. However using the transom saver will restrict this flexing and movement to a minimum which I believe is the desired effect.

When a trailer flexes, shifts left and the boat shifts right while raising an inch or so...I don't want my motor taking that stress by being tied to the trailer.
