WHEN I BOUGHT THE BOAT IT HAD THAT ALUMINUM TRANSOM GUARD ON IT. IT ANGLED AROUND THE TOP AND COVERED BOTH SIDES OF THE TRANSOM AND THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE ENGINE’S WENT THROUGH IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SET IT UP WITH TWO ENGINE’S IT ALSO BOLTED THROUGH THE TRANSOM AT THE ENDS PLUS IT ALSO ATTACHED TO THE TWO SIDES OF THE SPLASH WELL WITH 6 ADDITIONAL BOLTS THE WHOLE THING HAD TONS OF 5200 TO BOOT. THIS IS A VERY ELABORATE TRANSOM SAVER. I BELIEVE THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NEEDING TO REPLACE THE TRANSOM AND INSTEAD OF DOING THE JOB HE HAD THIS TRANSOM SAVER INSTALLED. THE TRANSOM BEFORE I RE DID IT HAD 128 SEPARATE HOLES IN IT SOME SMALL FOR LITTLE SCREWS AND OTHERS WERE BIG FOR BOLTS OR THROUGH HULL FITTINGS (A REAL MESS). I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THIS TRANSOM SAVOR AND I STILL HAVE IT IN MY BACK YARD. IN REGARD TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT INCREASING THE HEIGHT OR YOUR TRANSOM TO 30” I BELIEVE IT OR SOMETHING LIKE IT COULD BE INCORPORATED FOR THAT TYPE OF SUPPORT THE THICKNESS OF THIS THING IS ABOUT ¼ AND THE WAY IT WAS MADE WAS VERY GOOD. THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS YOU ARE LOOKING AT DRILLING 6 MORE BOLT SIZE HOLES IN YOUR TRANSOM PLUS 6 BOLT SIZE HOLES THROUGH THE SIDES OF THE SPLASH WELL UNDER OR AROUND THE TWO SMALL HATCHES IN THE STERN OF THE BOAT.
