re: Best Transom Saver for Yamaha 250 4stroke?

First off, transom savers only act as a brace to keep the motor from bouncing. They aren't there to remove weight from the transom.
Exactly, the transom is designed to handle the force of the motor. If you use either, the transom will see far greater force on the water.

I didn't say it removed the weight, it prevents the transom bearing the brunt of the torquing of the motor when it's trimmed up going down the road and bouncing around.
Yes, the transom is designed for vertices and horizontal forces. And for torquing when the motor pushes forward. But remember, when the boat is running, it is also moving forward and thus "giving" to the force applies by the engine. When it's on the trailer, it's not giving an inch.
