DD26 Fishing Transom Savers & Motor Supports

DD26 Fishing Mean Mount Motor Totes & Transom Savers

Every mile you tow your boat puts stress on one of its most vulnerable components: the transom. There is nothing harder on your transom and motor than towing. That's exactly the problem DD26 Fishing set out to solve with their flagship line of transom savers and motor supports — a category where they've built a reputation for engineering that goes well beyond what standard foam-block supports can offer.

The Mean Mount Motor Tote: Purpose-Built Protection

At the heart of DD26 Fishing's transom-saver lineup is the Mean Mount Motor Tote. Made from 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the DD26 Mercury Mean Mount Motor Tote features an advanced shock-absorbing design, which greatly reduces stress and movement to help protect your trim system, hydraulics, motor, and transom. Rather than relying on a single point of contact, the Mean Mount's all-welded construction and heavy-duty rubber bumpers provide significant engine and hydraulic protection, simultaneously reducing stress on the transom.

DD26 offers engine-specific fitments so the tote actually integrates with your motor rather than just resting under it. The Mean Mount motor tote fits Mercury FourStroke Pro XS and SeaPro models, covering Mercury 4-Stroke engines from 75 HP, 90 HP, 115 HP, 175 HP, 200 HP, 225 HP, 250 HP to 300 HP. Coverage also extends to Mercury Optimax/Pro XS 200–250 HP 2-Stroke engines and, Yamaha and Suzuki versions as well. A patent-pending Hybrid model now fits both Suzuki and Honda motors across multiple trim-ram center-to-center distances. Multiple color options let anglers color-match the tote to their engine for a clean, custom look.

DD26 Fishing Mean Mount Motor Totes come with a limited lifetime warranty — a testament to the confidence the company places in its materials and craftsmanship.

Gen 2 Mean Stops: Steering Locks That Complete the System

A transom saver addresses vertical movement, but side-to-side sway is an equally destructive force when trailering at highway speeds. The Mean Stops steering locks reduce movement for outboards equipped with hydraulic steering when trailering, clipping onto the hydraulic steering rams on both sides of the outboard to keep the engine straight and prevent damage to motor supports.

Constructed from 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the Gen 2 Mean Stops are built to the same standard as the Motor Tote. The Generation 2 Mean Stops Steering Locks fit a wide range of steering rod sizes and, similar to the motor tote, are available to match the engine color. Common fitment covers SeaStar, Baystar, Mercury, and Uflex hydraulic steering systems — with DD26 recommending measuring the steering ram diameter before selecting a size. DD26 highly recommends using Mean Stop Steering Locks with 175–300 HP engines in order to provide maximum protection to the boat and motor.

American-Made Quality at the Source

Having CNC mills in-house allows DD26 to design, prototype, and produce many of their products with premium quality controls managed by their own staff. These transom savers are made in the USA, and a high-quality metallic powder-coat finish keeps each unit protected from the most brutal elements to give anglers years of excellent service. For tournament anglers and weekend boaters alike, DD26 Fishing's transom savers and motor supports represent a serious upgrade over generic alternatives — protecting a motor investment that can easily reach five figures.
