Seems to me an outboard under power in the water puts way more torque on a transom than a little bouncing on a highway.

Fact. Especially running in nasty chop. I trailer my boats with the jack plate up and the motor trimmed down just enough to engage the trim.

Don't trailer your boats with the flip lock up. The purpose of a flip lock on motors is to keep the lower unit out of the water without too much pressure on your hydraulics when the boat is staying in the water for extended periods of time.
