Trailer tie down question
We just picked up our first Mastercraft a few weeks ago and after cleaning it up I noticed that the boat didn't have any transom trailer tie downs. Is it something that I have to have or is it just recommended to use them for extra safety?

Get some of these http://www.amazon.com/Boat-Buckle-Re.../dp/B006UH53E0
Lots of people tow without them, but I probably wouldn't. I was behind a friend of mine and saw his boat jump about 6 inches off the trailer. Last edited by JRW160; 04-07-2014 at 05:05 PM. |

Don't forget the one for the bow too!

One of my favorite expressions I heard: Tie downs keep the trailer under the boat while going down the road. Pretty important thing IMO.
Also an additional tie down keeps the bow from bouncing against the roller (or boat buddy) in the front. I would never trailer without one. |

I'm not sure what your state laws are, but I have been pulled over and have had police check for tie downs. I always have them on, but some other boaters were getting tickets for not having them on. This is in British Columbia,Canada
