Not a bad welding job using a car battery and jumper cables. Rednecks rule!

Re: HillBilly Fix

nice job, but it is all wrong, the bow stop should be above the bow eye, the winch need to be lower. blue is where the bow stop should be, red is top of winch. you could work a tied down, from the bow eye down to the trailer frame.

Oops, I never thought about it. I just put the stop in the same spot as it was. It's not relay going hurt anything, and it's a lot stronger. Thanks for the info, now I know:D
