Outboard Tilt Trim Lock Support - Required?

[Hweebe]

Given I've had a failure with my Yamaha Trim Cylinder, I was thinking whether i should change from my long time method of wedging a block of wood between the outboard and transom when trailering.

I'm thinking of purchasing something like this

or the OEM

What is everyone doing with the motor / tilt when trailering?

New Mercury motors come with a solid alloy? support that works well. One might fit yours. Could be worth a look.
