I checked my trailer from the axle back to the lights and there is 1/4" or less sag. I put the tongue jack on an old scale and it looks like the axle could be moved back. I'm going to do some closer calculating, but based on the weights of the boat, motor and gas, the axle could go back 6". I'm sure the guys with 75Hp motors probably could slide back even farther. I would think that without a transom saver, the leverage of the motor bouncing on a rough road would transfer more shock load to everything INCLUDING the trailer. That's why we strap the boat down; to prevent bouncing and shock loads on the equipment. The Yami manual says to trailer with the motor in the lowest position possible. The flip-down clips are for storage or servicing.
Good luck everyone!

On the topic of transom savers...I have a 170 Bass with a 70 Yammaha. When I Inquired at the dealer about a transom save he told me definitely not, that I don't need one. What's the scoop?

Bent Trailer
My trailer has the same problem and is so distorted I think it will have to have a new trailer. I took the boat to the truck scales and got the weight. The weight is 4200 # . The boat is a 06 191fs , 140 suz , 15 suz kicker , 3 batts for the elct trolling motor , TR 1 auto pilot , VHF , DS , GPS and the fuel tank was on half. The only thing that was in the boat that is'nt usually there was two 55" sturgeon . The trailer is over gross and the weight rating on each tire is 1870 # . So I have a big problem. The trailer has about 3000+ miles on it. The local dealer is working on it . If the trailer breaks in half going down the road who is on the hook for that bill. Hmmmmmm

I would say your insurance company (but I would read your coverage first) till they call the trailer OEM and the DOT on why this happened which it should not have...
