Default Length of chains? (Was 'Cross chains or not when trailering')

Have you seen or heard of failures in other parts of the system? If so,
where?


Tires - improperly inflated or dry rotted, wheel bearings and brake
systems - surge and electric.

I've seen older trailers with bad bunks and rollers drive a hole in a
hull so I suppose that counts.


The rollers on my trailer on the 23' marquis arn't in good shape, I
noticed that a couple of them look like they're about to break in
two. That's going to get a priority work over, but I gotta get the
boat off the thing, first!

Probably wait till the weather breaks really well and dump it in my
brothers pond for a couple days while I replace the rollers, and paint
it.
