    New to me boat trailer: Safety chain and loading with bunks.

    Personally I look at the safety chain as required equipment. If the winch strap breaks you'll want it there. As far as loading, for my boat it needs the top of the fenders 2 inches above the water. I back in till they are covered and then pull forward. This gets the carpet wet so that the slides...

    Whats the consensus using plastic slips under an aluminum painted hull!

    not meaning to hijack this thread , this past summer I spent a few hours waiting for people to launch or recover their boat. Most had the same thing in common.
