Y Fork/ Trailer/ Transom Saver
MAKING THE WORLD’S BEST OUTBOARD PROTECTION SINCE 2000
Additional Full Cover Padding
We can add extra protection to your Full Cover if you use a transom saver.
What is it?
It is known by many different names (Y-Fork, Transom Saver, Trailer Saver) depending on what part of the World you are in.
It is a device used to protect the boat’s transom from being damaged as the motor shakes during towing. Some are simple metal poles but more recently they have incorporated a shock absorber for better protection. We provide padding only in the locations area shown below.
Below are a couple of examples and how they are fitted.
How it Works
This diagram shows how the extra padding option works in our Full cover. As the cover sits between the motor and the fork there needs to be some extra padding. This will not only help protect the cover fabric but also the leg zip.
It is also sensible to strap the motor leg to the Y fork to stop it rubbing and wearing through the cover.
