Question Outdrive Supports for Travel

Do you guys recommend putting on those supports to your trim cylinders for traveling purposes? They go on your cylinders when you're trimmed all the way up and they prevent the outdrive from coming down if you have a hydraulic leak. Where do you get these things?

Saw a boat that did not have those on it with swivel seats. The wind spun the seat around and hit the trim button on the throttle handle. Drive went down and left a Bravo track down the highway. Ground half the lower off so clean it looked like it was one of those cut away displays. The driver said he thought the truck was running poorly for part of the trip.

Although I only tow 2 times a year, I always use those supports.
