Two types:
1) motor support without transom support
2) transom saver with motor support

Opt for a Transom saver type, which means something needs to deflect weight of motor off of the transom of the boat onto another object, ie trailer. Hence, sparing the "transom" thus, "transom saver".

I opted for a transom saver by swivle eze which is spring loaded and removable, plenty of others out there too. You load half the spring with your hydraulic tilt and rubber strap the end to the foot of the motor and the other is a slingshot Y hooked to a bunk board.
