[QUOTE="checkoutmyjunk, post: 470524, member: 25248"] So I have another river boat, and I use it all year provided the river isn't frozen. Pretty much every year the cold water makes the plastic brittle and it snaps off. The last build I figured I would add a few zip ties in case the hanger broke, well long story short the zip ties failed too. I noticed as I was leaving the ramp that my plate was gone so I hooked a Uie and headed back to see if I would get lucky enough to find it in the water. I found a plate and thought " what are the odds". It was a few weeks later when I went to put it back on that I realized the plate I found was not mine. The chain is a great idea, but you gave me an idea, a while back I bought stainless steel cable and the ferrules to crimp it. I think I will make a few safety hangers out of the left overs.
