That's what I used to do with my Suzuki until I decided to winterize it myself and actually read the manual. I trailered it 1000 mile RT using that bracket but I guesswith time it could actually break. My new boat came from the factory with 2x4's wedged in there, as did the Bluefin skiff we won. According to the Suzuki manual, you are supposed to use that bracket when the boat is tied to your mooring/slip. I don't think Ive ever seen anyone use it though.
