Thanks for the quick ship! I received the Lock-n-Haul on Tuesday afternoon and installed it on my motor that night. I then drove to the lake and back home today. The Lock-n-Haul worked as advertised! No shaking, no shimmy! It was flawless!
Richard Novick - Canyon Country, California
Sir, I just received my lock and haul and I only ordered it Saturday!  I just wanted you to know I liked my previous one and it lasted about 12 years. The new one seems much more robust and I am excited to have a replacement.  Once again, thank you for the quick turnaround.
William Johnson - Caledonia, Michigan
Your G2 model is a perfect fit and holds my outboard motor (ETEC G2 200HO) rock solid. Thanks for the great product and extremely fast delivery.I highly recommend this product to anyone with a outboard. Thanks

"I purchased your universal and works great on my 2016 tohatsu 90hp outboard. I launch on "primitive" openings along the Columbia river in Washington state. And have not had a single problem with your system. Thanks GT Kollar"

"I just bought my first boat and had been searching for a good transom saver for my 90 HP Mercury. After searching all around, I stumbled upon the Lock-N-Haul. Scared that it would not work with my engine, I sent some photos to the number on the website and within no time I had an answer. It was even around 10 at night. What great customer service! After setting it up, I went out for the first time and it was awesome! The engine did not more at all! I felt so confident trailering the boat and going over those rough back roads. I am a customer for life and will recommend to all my friends that have outboards."

"The best thing I can say about the Lock-N-Haul – the boat and motor become ONE!  There is absolutely no movement of my motor when stowed with the Lock-N-Haul.  That is, of course, unless the boat is moving!"
Mike Kernan - Bassmaster Elite Series Professional - Wylie, Texas
My brother and I were rushing to get on the water for a half day to practice for a local tournament.  We forgot to remove our "Lock-n-Haul".  We made our 8 mile run @ 68 MPH to the practice area!  When I made my first cast from the "back-of-the-boat"  I heard something knocking, it was the Lock-n-Haul, this is one tough product!!  The only thing we had lost was one of the black end caps (Lower Unit) end!! 
David & Chris Huffine - Raleigh, North Carolina
Thank you again for the Lock-n-Haul, it is simply awesome! It's given me one less thing to worry about while trailering on Louisiana's missile tested roads. Two of the guys on our trip are buying one and the third is too old school to know better and too tight! p.s. I love that I don't have to bring it all the way to the truck and it fits in either of my back deck compartments..... Handy !
Kevin Pinsonat - Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Just wanted to let you all know that after a couple fairly long drives on fishing trips my new Lock-N-Haul has performed perfectly. My motor would be turned at least half way on every trip I took on our good backroads here in Missouri, but since the Lock-N-Haul the motor doesn't move AT ALL. Thanks for a great product.
Jay Garrison - Louisiana, Missouri
“We just came back from a tournament in Detroit and that was the ultimate test on the Lock-n-Haul. They have the biggest potholes I have ever seen up there and my engine was always safe and never rocked back and forth. One of the best things about it is how small it is, you can easily store it in your back compartment and you don’t have to carry around a huge piece of metal and put it in your truck. It costs less than others on the market and I never had any doubt it would fit my engine. I recommend them to everyone no matter what size or brand engine they have.”
Casey Martin -FLW Tour Professional - New Hope, Alabama
I can say that the Lock-n-Haul is the best product I’ve used to date in securing your motor. No more motor movement while travelling, no more damaged or scratched gearboxes from other brace-type products. Easy and convenient to stow away and attach.
Shandon Hawman - SA Bass Professional - Boksburg, South Africa
Just got my unit in the mail last week. LOVE IT!!!!! The motor has never been this solid. I drive some bumpy roads everyday, well 5 days a week to fish and this will save my boat motor a lot of banging around. I have been asked about the unit everyday at the launch, many good responses, I think I'm going to have to carry some contact info with me from now on as I getting tired of writing down the info on a pad of paper for people. Thanks for a great product!

"Jim - I just wanted to drop you a line. Obviously I haven't gotten to use the product that much, but I can tell you it's exactly what I needed. I had been using the My-Wedge for years, however I winter fish a lot. When it's cold the darn thing contracts, and sometimes it takes 2 of us real big boys to get the thing off of the trim rod. I've been so worried about damaging the trim rod or any of the seals around it getting that darn thing off in the morning. Well, the Lock-n-Haul came, I adjusted it to line up with the Yamaha, and bam... it's as easy as trimming up and or down the motor, thats it! Good deal, and awesome idea my man, I hope you make millions... something so simplistic, but yet so darn practical! "
Eric Paugh - Glen Burnie, Maryland
The Lock-n-Haul is a great product! It is easy to take on or off and holds my YAMAHA SHO 250 solid rolling down the highway. I store it in the in the rear compartment of my new Legend making it an easy grab to get ready to roll. The Lock-n-Haul is light weight and takes up basically no space. It is definitely a must have in my book!
Scott Ashmore, Bassmaster Elite Series Professional - Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
OK, my boat dealer (Boats Unlimited in Baton Rouge) made it easy for me. Sense they sell them now, she let me take one to try on my boat. 2006 Yamaha 90 4-stroke, it doesn't have the ideal pockets on the bracket to sit in but, it does work. After a 200 mile round trip on bad South Louisiana roads yesterday it stayed in place. After seeing the difference it makes I would say anyone using a traditional transom saver attached to the trailer would be better off not using anything at all. All the shaking truly does come from the trailer. Seeing is believing!
Elton Rodregue - Prarieville Louisiana
Received my Lock-n-Haul today, thank you Jim it’s a marvelous product and I will let all my friends here in Aussie know about your product.   Regards
Allan Winston- Forest Hill,  Victoria Australia
Running a Yamaha 250 on a Ranger 521. Ordered your lock and haul a couple weeks back and all I can say is thanks. This is much better than the transom saver that there is not even a fair comparison.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you promote this product. Again Thanks Don Dickerson

"The Lock-n-Haul works perfectly on all outboards. It is a very simple, functional device that completely stabilizes the motor."
Gary Dobyns - All Time West Coast Money Winner - Yuba City, California
"I wanted to take a minute and give a special thanks to Jim with Lock-n-haul transom savers. He helped on my recent group trip and is a stellar individual. Most importantly, his product is incredible. First, let me say that I am not sponsored by Jim and paid retail for my Lock-n-Haul. I have been using a regular transom bar and let me tell you, I wish I had switched sooner. The problem with a standard bar is that it puts a lot of stress on your lower unit and they cause the paint to fail (my pet peeve) which only gets worse over time. The Lock-n-haul is lightweight, easy to use, and won't stress the lower unit or ruin the paint on your motor. For around $60 I highly recommend you get one!!!  Bassin Dave - Professional Bass Fishing Guide on Choke Canyon, Medina, Dunlap, Canyon, LBJ, Buchanan, and Bastrop. www.bassindave.com  Catch my videos at www.theanglingchannel.com."

"I just got back to Nebraska and installed a custom pin to use your Lock-n-Haul device as you suggested. I must say I am extremely pleased with its design. It works very well with the pin I made. I purchased a 5/8" pin and used a cap nut on one side and a removable pin on the other. It’s just an axel pin I purchased at the Academy sports store. It can be removed as easy as the Lock-n-Haul but it’s the second to last pin hole on the motor so I might just leave it installed. I don’t think it will affect the performance of the motor. If I find it does, I will remove it and keep it with the the Lock-n-Haul.  Thank you for designing such a good product. After the installation, I noticed a major decline in trailer noise. The motor also remains stationary with no movement like the old saver I used before. It is so much easier to install and remove - good job! In addition, thank you for meeting me at Bass Pro as it saved a few dollars on shipping. The Lock-n-Haul is an extremely good design, made of good materials and is very reasonably priced. I am so pleased with its design, I will be personally advertizing your product to other boaters with outboards." 
Rick Williams - Omaha, Nebraska
"The Lock-n-Haul device is the best piece of equipment I've used to lock my motor down for traveling. It's light and small enough to fit in the back compartment of my boat while fishing. In the past, I've had to use 3 & 4 foot long motor toters which are long & bulky and I had to always store these in my vehicle because they could fit in any of my boat's compartments. The motor toter also scars your lower unit and removes the paint. I'm a guide on Lake Fork and everyone who has seen my Lock-n-Haul device has been impressed."
Marcel Bryson - Professional Fishing Guide - Lake Fork, Texas
"I own an Evinrude 225 H.O E-TEC.  I have always had problems with it turning or “falling over” and resting on the steering hydraulics’ using the factory engine tilt lock while trailering my boat.  I have seen PVC clips that snap onto the steering hydraulic rods, but these again place stress on this expensive system which I was trying to avoid.  My boat dealer said Evinrude does not recommend using the bar type transom savers because it places too much pressure on the engine’s lower unit.  I was stuck with my motor falling over and no solution. That was until I purchased your Lock-n-haul unit a year ago and it solved all my problems.  There is no stress on my hydraulics’ and it drastically cuts down on the time needed to ready my boat to launch or trailer.  It is extremely easy to install and remove and it is very small and compact and stores just about anywhere.  Thanks you very much for inventing a better mouse trap." 
Rich Martens - Bonaire, Georgia
"Bought my Lock-n-Haul over the winter and finally have been able to use it the past 6 weeks.  Love it and it stays put when trailering and we have some pretty rough roads up here in Ohio.  It's about time somebody desigend something for Yamaha motors that works the right way"
Ronald Thomae  - Richwood, Ohio
"Excellent product Jim. I use it on a 250 ProXS and it handles the gnarly roads, RR tracks, etc. Takes maybe 5 mins to set up - and I like the strength and small size. BTW my old school last 'motor toter' bounced off the trailer connection (stayed on motor) and jacked the motor when the bracket end hit the road and blew out the main ram top bracket and seals. Do the math."
Todd Matherne - Houston, Texas
"Great product, worked great, I can get rid of my 4.5' transom saver bar. Probably gonna order another one for back up"
Levi Kinchlow - Suffolk, Virginia
"Absolutely love the Lock-n-Haul.  Holds motor very steady during travel, no shaking, no movement.  Extremely light weight and conveniently small to easily store."
Pat Tran - Omaha, Nebraska
"After spending way too much time trying to find a support for my Mercury 115 Optimax and trying to make something myself, I came across the Lock-n-Haul.  This is one of those products that is simple yet works perfectly.  It took about 2 minutes to adjust for my application and has worked flawlessly ever since."
Mike Shea - Long Beach, California
"Jim, nice product.. Have been using with my Ranger 520 and Yamaha 225 HPDI for a couple of months. I used the larger white one sold by one of your competitors for about a year but didn't like how it would not clear the mounting location on a Yamaha. Your product solves this issue."
Doug Denton - Clayton, North Carolina
"Thank you for the upgrades to my Lock-n-Haul and the clear concise instructions on how to install them.  This unit works like a charm and does just what it was designed to do.  I am very happy with your product and the upgrades that were sent free of charge.  Good luck to you, Jim and those who provided input to make this product even a greater investment."
Merritt Obreiter - Toledo, Ohio
"Jim, being an owner of Ranger Z-Series Boats with their built in Jack Plates and then along with the extra 8” plate I have mounted I love your Lock-n-Haul. The typical transom saver just does not work well with the length required to get down to the trailer & then where do you store it when removed. Your system is not only easy to mount providing protection, but when I remove it I can store it anywhere. Love the size & the way it works on my Etec 250 HO!!! Thanks for making a great & user friendly product."
Rob Jasper - Pantego, Texas
"Purchased Lock-n-Haul for my 01 225 Evinrude. Product works great, used to use the factory brace, but motor kept tilting. Lock-n-Haul keeps it from tilting side to side and is very sturdy. I would absolutely recommend this device."
Michael Grabo - Burnt Hills, New York
"Worked as advertised and money well spent. I would absolutely recommend this device."
Scott Montgomery - Odon, Indiana
"Jim, I am quite impressed with the Lock-n-Haul. I have used it for almost 2 months and my motor has never been so secure. The motor doesn't shake, rattle or turn. It is an outstanding product."
Robert Duval - Shrewsbury, Massachusetts
“I switched from a standard transom saver to a lock-n-haul and I’m VERY impressed with this device. It really locks the motor down and stops all sideways movement. I would 100% recommend this product! Both friends and my mechanic were impressed and are also looking to purchase one for their boats.“
John Henry - Ontario, Canada
“I am completely satisfied with my unit and wanted to know if you had any decals, etc. to put on my boat windshield and/or my GMC Yukon ? My boat is a 21 TRX Triton with a 250 mercury.”
Rich Godwin - Shreveport, Louisiana
"I think the Lock-n-Haul is an excellent design. With its small size but very strong structure its easy to handle and does not take up hardly any space. I broke two transom savers before switching the the Lock n Haul and have not had one issue with and its nice that my lower unit is no longer taking all of the road shock from the trailer."
Brent Sauble - Willow Park, Texas
"I purchased the Lock-n-Haul about four weeks ago. Since then I have towed the boat over 1500 miles and the lock-n-haul works great. I don't have to worry about the motor or steering components and it's so much easier to use than the old motor toter products available. Great product and I will continue to recommend it to others."
Ryan Phillips - Columbia, South Carolina
"The Lock-n-Haul is a well thought out and functional device. I was a little sceptical about how it "locks" the engine to boat but after watching the engine through the rear view mirror while towing, I understood. When hitting bumps or holes in the road and boat bounces, the engine doesn't move at all in relation to the boat as with the standard transom saver. It's "locked" in place and doesn't vibrate, wobble, or wiggle. And, that's a good thing."
Darrell Lehmann - Richardson, Texas
"Finally a great product to secure my Yamaha.  Does the job in seconds....just as advertised."
Spiro Stamos - Cupertino, California
"I am not sure what product you are using, but you need to check out the custom transom saver product from "Lock-n-Haul"! I picked up one of these and love it! It is very simple to put on and remove and it will not damage your motor or boat. I will never go back to a traditional transom saver again. This unit also absorbs all of the shock and vibration from normal travel instead of having your lower unit risk potential damage from traditional transom savers! Check out http://www.locknhaul.com"
Scott Gordon - Emcee Oakley Big Bass Tour - Grapevine, Texas
"I absolutely LOVE using the Lock-N-Haul.  It makes my HPDI sit still on these bumpy roads here in Western North Carolina.  No more pulling over to straighten the motor up, like with the old style transom saver."
Mike Stewart - Asheville, North Carolina
"This was by far one of the best purchases I have made for my boat. My engine would move from side to side even with the transom saver that came with my boat. It was also a hassle having to worry about storing the old transom saver inside my Yukon.  The Lock-n-Haul is compact enough I can store it in one of the compartments in the boat.   The roads are not the most forgiving in some parts of Texas but with this product you can rest assured your engine will stay in place and absorb anything the road brings you. Purchase this in confidence."
Robbie Milam - Lewisville, Texas
"I saw your booth at the Arlington Convention Center back in January. I told you then that I didn't have a boat, but that I might be buying a friend one. That's what this is for. The Lock-n-Haul beats the heck out of all of the other transom savers on the market as far as ease of use and sturdiness."
Lyndon Johnson - Fort Worth, Texas
"I have been using the Lock-N-Haul device for over 2 years now and love it! It is so convenient, light weight and easy to stow that I couldn't imagine going back to the old style transom saver. I also like the fact that going down the road I'm not watching my engine bouncing all over the place wearing out my bushings and loosening my transom bolts. I'm a sold customer!"
Andy Caldwell - Plantersville, Texas 
"Not only is the lock-n-haul effective and does what it claims to do, but the convenience of putting it on and taking it off is worth the price alone.  I am glad I am not pulling and tugging on my old transom saver to release it from my lower unit anymore as I would get road grime and grease all over my hands.  I like how it stores right in my boat."
Rob Romaguera - Mansfield, Texas
"Only had the Lock-n-Haul for short while but seems to be working fine. The price was great compared to the other brands."
Dan Lee -Yuba City, California
