Safety chain on your boat and the added chain and turnbuckle

Chain and turn buckle for that added security when towing your boat will minimise movement and stop momentum in the event of harsh breaking

Nice setup. I've always just used heavy duty 2" commercial ratchet straps for the same purpose. I cut a couple down to use at the transom also because they have higher working loads compared to 'heavy duty' purpose made transom straps. I have a 30' express cruiser I drag 2 hours to get to the lake and a lot of bad drivers in the area so the better my boat is tied to the trailer, the better chance I'll have if forced to do any emergency maneuvers while pulling it. The regular bow eye safety chain is always the very last thing to get disconnected and the first to get reconnected when the boat is in the water. No chance of the boat sliding off the back of the trailer on the relatively long and steep public boat ramp at the lake. It's a big, heavy boat on carpeted bunks so it's very unlikely it would be able to slide, but always better safe than sorry. Thanks for sharing your great setup!
