What do you use to keep the boat on the trailer when your on the

road?

I hope it's not just the winch! If the pawl breaks, look out

behind.

From the origional post:
I have about a foot long chain that goes from the
trailer to the boat just in case the winch shoudl fail.


There also must be hold downs at the transom or a strap across the boat
or it would bounce all over the place. Trust me, if the transom hold
downs are on, the boat will not roll off the trailer. I know that for
sure. :-)

My winch cable is ripped about half way across at one point. I want to
replace the cable sitting in my driveway but want to make sure my boat isnt
going to slide off onto the ground.

==================================

Take a dock line from a bow cleat, wrap it around your trailer post a
couple of times (or use a clove hitch), and then back to your other
bow cleat. The boat won't go anywhere.
