Stop the bouncing. The Rod Saver TMS12 strap set holds your stowed trolling motor tight against the bow of a Deep V boat through every road bump and rough patch.
The Rod Saver Trolling Motor Saver Set (MPN TMS12) is a strap set designed for Deep V boats with bow-mount trolling motors. It uses high-strength webbing and tension-locked buckles to hold the stowed trolling motor tight against the deck mount during trailering. Generic ratchet straps over-tension and can crack motor housings. Bungee cords slip loose under highway vibration. The Rod Saver set hits the middle – tight enough to immobilize the motor, gentle enough to not damage the finish, and tension-locked so it doesn’t loosen mid-trip.
The set includes the straps, buckles, and mounting hardware needed for a complete install on a typical Deep V bow layout. Install takes about 15 minutes. To use, you wrap the strap around the stowed trolling motor, thread through the buckle, snug tight, and lock. To release, flip the buckle release lever. Less than a minute per cycle once familiar.
You’ll find the buckle setup easy. It’s tight when you want it tight and it’s loose when you flip the release. Don’t bother with bungee cords for this job – they’ll let you down at the worst moment.
