I just picked up a new 1850 ranger reata with a Merc 175 ProXS on the back and the dealer specified i would not need a transom saver at all and that the hydraulic steering would be enough…
seemed off, should i be using one, and if so what style is reccomended.

you’ll hear some differing opinions on this. My feeling is that it’s cheap insurance. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-tourney-pro-adjustable-head-transom-saver
people say there’s more stress put on the transom by the engine than a bump ever would, but, if my trim rams for some reason went out, I would prefer to not have my motor dragging on the ground.
I have an older boat and put a transom saver on the day I took it home. The debate if they are needed today can go on and on. I feel good having it on and it puts less pressure on the seals and O-rings. Making them last longer without service.
