Transom saver question for BCB

Make that two of us. I measured today and found I need about 36 inches as far as length goes. BCB recommends the longer full length saver from what Ive read. Im guessing its because that will result in pipe within pipe most of the bar length for added strength but that is just a guess. Got about $50 in BPS credits so going to order a new swivel-ez saver. Then do the mod one of the posters described involving cutting about half the rollor end to prevent light damage. Then some bunker carpet to prevent sticking to the motor. Fun fun fun…. Hey, better to learn it hear then through trial and error!

I plan to pick up Sabre Day Tripper in about 2 weeks from the plant. Do I need to bring a transom saver when I come? What size?

Transom savers, fire extinguisher, paddle, towline and throwable cushion are not a part of the boat package. Also on those transom savers, cut the end piece of the U on the transom saver where it goes over the roller off to prevent crushing your light bar in the center. You will notice this when you go to put it on if you pay attention. If not you will punch out the center light. Not a big deal though you will be a two light bar then.

That does not really add much pressure if you use a full length toter. Not a major deal, though there is another thought on those hydraulic jackplates, that they are prone to failure. If you travel with the plate up and there is a motor or other failure, your stuck. If you travel with it in the running position and a wiring or motor issue happens, then your fishing still.

You go without the center light, or replace the whole light bar.
