Transom Saver?
Has anyone done anything in the way of a transom saver? As much as I preach to be careful... a board or ski touches it at least once a trip!

There are multiple methods I've seen; Pieces of custom cut Seadek & Hydroturf, transparent film, custom sunbrella shields applied with suction cups, etc.

Sounds like the aluminum treadplate will do then!

My wife made one for my brand X. Its made out or 1/2'' carpet padding covered with black vinyl. Its attached to the grab rails but can also attach to the D fittings. I bought one from the BU forum it works well on my Supra but its not as thick. Hers was custom made for the boat.

I'd like to hear more about the transparent film. How it looks, works, etc.

They've been using it on cars for quite awhile. I know some manufacturers put it in high wear areas like door jambs, and aftermarket you can wrap the whole front of the car. The only visible part is the edge of the film, which on a transom could be hidden very well. Otherwise it's crystal clear and very impact resistant. The only thing I can think of to complain about is that it's kinda pricey. If you buy a roll (3M invisishield) and DIY it's not too bad. Installs like window tint or vinyl graphics.
