What not to do when trailering a boat!

[jrnichols]

I had our Regal 2665 hauled and trailered to the dealership today for some engine work. I cruised to the local boat ramp and the mechanic took it from there. He loaded it onto the trailer and headed back to the lot. On the way, the bow line (never removed ) slipped off the foredeck. While he was making a right turn it was run over by one of the trailer tires. The line, which was still cleated, wrapped around a stantion and ripped it off the deck... all of the other stantions /flanges were also bent. There does not appear to be any external deck damage.

I am starting to get over it as the dealer will be paying for damages... it had better be better than new when we get it back!

Hope this post helps to prevents this from happening from anyone else!:facepalm:

Thanks...

13. Please do not post multiple threads in multiple forums about a single problem. This is confusing to those trying to help you. Multiple threads in the same forum about the same issue is also confusing. If you want help fast, one thread in one forum is the best way to get it.
