Safety Chain

[Highcentered]

all I did was by a foot of hesvy duty chain, big carabiner and heavy duty lap link. connect lap link to chain , take out the bolt that holds the winch sleeve in and put back on amd have it go lap link but also put a big washer too. I shortened my chain down to about 8 inches. this exact way that was done on the ranger I had and even on my g3. I too was surprised xpress didn't put a safety chain on it

And then the transom straps that come with the boat aren't really worth much. Last week a friend of mine forgot to hook the nose strap on his glass rig for the 45 minute drive down the interstate. Good thing the old boat buckles were holding back there. Was quite the OH SHIT moment when we pulled up to his house. Neither one of us were feeling good that day but went fishing anyway. He was still hurting from a gut issue and I took a pretty hard hit on my brain stem at work the day before
