attwood Transom Saver Replacement Bolt-On Bracket SP-402 — Direct-Fit, Corrosion-Resistant Support for Outboard/Stern Drive

The Attwood SP-402 replacement bolt-on bracket restores secure support to your Transom Saver system so your outboard or stern drive is safely braced during trailering and storage.

The SP-402 is a direct-replacement bolt-on bracket designed for Attwood Transom Saver drive and engine support systems. Built to the same engineering standards as the original part, this bracket replaces worn or damaged hardware to maintain the structural support that protects your boat transom and engine mounting points when towing or stowing. Attwood tests components under marine conditions to ensure reliable performance and long service life.

How does this bracket protect my boat during trailering?

When a transom saver is fitted, the bracket transfers engine or drive weight away from the hull and the motor's transom mounting. Using the correct replacement bracket keeps load paths aligned so suspension and road forces don't stress the transom or tilt bracket. That prevents fatigue and reduces the risk of costly repairs after transport.

• Replaces compromised or corroded brackets without modifying the Transom Saver
• Makes sure engine weight is supported by trailer frame instead of hull
• Maintains original attachment geometry for correct load distribution

What makes this part easy to install or replace?

The SP-402 is manufactured to match factory dimensions so it fits existing bolt patterns and hardware locations. Installation is a simple bolt-on job for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools; no welding or cutting is required. Instructions and standard fasteners are typically all you need to return the support system to service.

• Factory-matched bolt pattern for straightforward swap-out
• Designed for common marine fasteners and sealant practices
• Installs quickly on shoreside workbench or while boat is on trailer

Will replacing this bracket extend the life of my outboard or stern drive?

While no single part guarantees component longevity, a sound bracket preserves correct support and alignment, which reduces stress on the engine mount and transom. That consistent support helps minimize vibration and odd load cycles that can accelerate wear. Using a genuine Attwood replacement ensures compatibility and restores the system's engineered performance.

• Restores proper engine alignment to reduce wear on mounts and fasteners
• Limits unwanted movement that can cause accelerated component fatigue
• Uses Attwood-quality materials and tolerances for dependable service

Who is this for: The Attwood SP-402 replacement bolt-on bracket is ideal for boat owners, marina technicians, and trailer shops who need a precise, factory-style replacement for a worn or damaged Transom Saver bracket. If you trailer your boat frequently, store it on a rack, or want to maintain original equipment support for your outboard or stern drive, this bracket returns your support system to proper working condition without modification.
