Motor position when towing?

I would use the transom saver.

I like the transom saver as well. I have seen (and I forget where) people using something like a block up near the pinch point on the motor. Kind of like a transom saver but more compact. You tilt the motor up, put the block in place and trim motor down until it stops. And I agree about not relying on the little motor locks.
