[QUOTE="edwonbass, post: 416464, member: 14570"] I use ratcheting 2" straps on the back. When I take them off to launch I put them on the front drivers seat. If I'm sitting on them I will remember I didn't put them on! :D I usually just crank the bow up to the stop and call it good. Rich brings up a good point about the pawl on the winch. BTW mine is kinda rusty and is my next project. I do have a safety chain at the bow which will now be used all the time. That video was probably entertaining to folks that don't tow but for us boat guys it is cringe worthy. As a guy that has towed campers and boats I have always considered myself to be picky about being safe. This reminds me to pay as much attention to what I'm towing and not just how I'm hooking it up.
