locK-n-haul
There is no better test for a transom saver than a long haul across the country. I have utmost confidence in my Lock-n-Haul transom saver after traveling over 4,200 miles on one trip. Since the Lock-n-Haul is made of fortified aircraft aluminum, you do not have to worry about it not being strong enough. It’s built to last forever and I honestly do not see how you could damage this product. Another thing I like about it is the size, even though its heavy duty, it’s small and lightweight. The Lock-n-Haul will easily fit in the back compartment of your boat eliminating the need to store anything in the truck, which is often what happens with traditional transom savers. Since it is universal, it will fit just about every single engine on the market today. If your engine is one of the major brands and has a power outboard motor tilt system, a transom motor mount with indents and you can access the steering pivot flange bolts; you are good to go. If you are still not sure whether or not it will fit your outboard, visit their website lock-n-haul. com, but chances are that it will fit perfectly. It’s simple to use and the best part about it in my opinion is that is keeps your outboard secure and prevents it from moving left to right. You no longer have to worry about steering clips or any extra parts. At less than $60, it is well worth it. It will be the last transom saver you ever need to purchase.

While talking with Bassmaster Elite Series pro Keith Combs about BioborEB, he said the greatest thing about the product was “The peace of mind it gives you. Just by adding this, I know I am doing my part to protect my engine from ethanol.” Ethanol is a big problem with the fuel available at your local gas station. Outboard engines are not designed to run with as much ethanol as we have in our gas and it is only a matter of time before it can cause a problem. I personally have heard of two anglers who had problems with ethanol eroding the fuel lines over time, as you can imagine this is a big problem for the health of the engine. In addition to damaging the fuel lines, ethanol can also separate from the fuel and mix with water that becomes separated from the fuel. Again the result of this is not good and will cause your engine to run on poor quality fuel. Biobor claims that BioborEB also increases engine performance, efficiency and fuel stability. For around $15 you have enough to treat 240 gallons of gas. For that price, the peace of mind and added benefits are well worth the cost.
Boating accessories are not the most flashy or exciting; but they serve an important purpose for keeping your boat looking and running great as well as being protected from damage. These four products have proved to be worth the cost and have stood my test over the whole season.
