Don't forget the safety chain at the boat launch!

[Wile E.]

I just watched a guy lose his boat at the boat launch. The boys loaded the boat and were just pulling out of the water when the trailer hit a bump and off went the boat. (No safety or winch strap) It landed with a horrific crash onto the leg of the motor and was pointing toward the sky on a 45 degree angle off the trailer. LMFAO I didn't realize those legs very strong, but this one seemed OK.

Do your own cranking.

When loading my cousins boat, we just use the winch strap I we are staying in the campground. If not then the straps and safety chain go on

Tough luck for Buddy ..... ouch

My Brother in Law saw a boat come offthe trailer at Lake Dief in Sask when
the guy hit the brakes as he was backing down the ramp .

He had the older ROLLERs instead of the bunk type trailer and ...... it slid
right off the back and crashed on the hard grey stuff.


hasnt happened to me yet !

( but I did leave the bung out once....... ooops )
