    Boat trailer safety cables

    I need to replace my cables. They measure about 52" from the top of the hook to bolt. I'm not seeing this length (easily) online. Unless they're measuring differently. Who has them or should I say, where purchase new ones.

    I bought these, they are longer than factory, they are long enough for my rhino hitch which adds about a foot over a normal hitch.

    Curious as to why you need to replace the cables?

    The plastic got knocked off in one one spot somewhere over the past. The cable is almost rusted into.

    Mine had to be replaced to use my rhino hitch. It adds about a foot of length

    Those plastic coated cables can be very deceiving. I had a buddy pull away from his 2011 Skeeter by accident and the the safety chains snapped like nothing. Ended up they were completely rusted out on the inside and you would have never known just looking at them.
