VsteveV Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm a little annoyed with my motor falling to the side when trailering. I have the rubber yamaha insert that goes over the piston, but it still does not prevent the motor from tilting. Anyone have any feed back on the Motormates? Seems like all the bass guys have them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Troy Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Don't know what their called but I have these blue plastic things that snap on the steering ram and prevents the motor from laying over. If I didn't it would hit the poling platform when tilted up. Takes 5 seconds to put on and off. Here, There like these but much sturdier than these here. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/marinetech-trailering-stabilizer-clips?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&affcode_c=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI94zyzOGB4QIVFonICh1vbQTIEAQYAiABEgJSlPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VsteveV Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yea Ive seen those clips before. I do like the motor mate concept a little better. I'm just curious as to why the majority of them are on bass boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulligan Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I have been using a MotorMate for awhile now. It works great! I did cut mine down some so it is not tilted up as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Had the same problem, easy fix. Piece of pvc tube with a 1/4” slice taken out of the side and snap onto steering rod after eng is centered. Both sides of motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I use Moto-Stop Steering Clips. Heavy rubber, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 My buddy uses a Motormate and it works good. It supports the motor and keeps it straight while trailering. I would buy one, but they are a little pricey compared to Mywedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
