[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 202112, member: 5151"] I agree about running a safety chain. I had a winch that jumped out of gear once several years ago when I was towing. I looked in my rear view mirror I noticed the bow of the boat moving around. Fortunately I was running a safety chain, was able to pull over, tie the boat down tight, and get it home so I could replace the winch. I have also heard them referred to as blow over chains and understand the if your winch, or winch strap failed while towing your boat could get enough air under it to flip backwards over the trailer, which could ruin your day.
