[Par Four]

I can't even imagine how awful you'd feel if it happened to your boat.

I've been asking advice here recently about my trailer because I "don't want to be that guy" sitting on the side of the road with my trailer bearings smoking, or caught without a spare tire.

I definitely don't want to be "that" guy shown in the photos... Ouch!

Lesson learned at the expense of someone else. Tie down straps are an extension of the trailer and need to be on my check list. The safety chain from the bow eye to the winch stand needs to be checked (and double checked)
