I'm sure you have a transport lock on your motor, just use that to take the load off of the hydraulic tilt/trim. I wouldn't even be shy about dragging it back to SLC if need be. I personally use a transom saver (75 HP merc), but have herd alot of arguments against them saying they do as much damage as they prevent by pushing up on the motor when you hit a bump. Personally I think if the boat and trailer are strapped together tight, then they move as one piece and I want the motor to be locked in with it, not flexing up and down with every bump.
