[QUOTE="fishmonger, post: 416748, member: 20379"] Years back I watched a guy remove the bow safety chain before backing down the ramp. It was at least a 28 -30 footer with twin outboards on an older trailer. Part way down the ramp the winch strap decided to say adios and the boat slid off. All of it's considerable weight rested on the skegs and the very end of the trailer with the bow pointing towards the sky. Several of us tried to help but with out equipment there wasn't much we could do. Must have been an expensive day for him. Since then I replace my winch strap every 3 years and don't unhook the safety chain until the boat is in the water. [/QUOTE]
