    No place for safety chains....now what?

    My Tacoma bumper does not have any place ( holes ) for me to attach my trailer safety chains, only a trailer ball hole. How do I get around this problem without mounting a hidden hitch? My boat is only 14ft. Aluminum Smokercraft, so I dont believe weight is an issue for the bumper.
