The problem is not motor mount but motor itself. As you haul ass down road
and hit lil bumps and potholes on road motor lower unit bounces up and down
acting like a hammer against mount. A couple of big potholes and all 60 lbs
of motor act like a jackhammer against mount and by default transom gets a
bashing. If you could prevent motor from bouncing on transom you could
reasonably expect to transport motor on its bracket.

If you don't believe above comments follow your boat in a separate car as
your partner tows it over dip and holes. You'll see...
