Trailer Bow Strap.... Option??

[lonestar]

Thank you. Looks about right. I have 12" from bow eye to trailer ring.

That should just work. I was concerned when mine arrived it would be to short.  My boat is still at the dealer for warranty work so won't know if my rigged setup will work for another week.

I use a 3/4" turnbuckle.

Where can you buy a backup safety bow trailer strap if the trailer doesn't come with one?

Any marine place.  Most folks use a chain.

Did you select the option when you ordered? MSRP was around $100 if I remember correctly from my build this year.

Any rigging shop (ie. where truckers get tie-downs, chains etc.) can make you one.  Maybe $30 bucks.

This is the one on my trailer.  Plus a screw link to attach it to the loop on the trailer.

Typically with construction the center third doesn’t matter. But what is wrong with this location. 

What is the purpose of this loop?

Place to attach a safety chain - kind of a dumb location, but better than nothing

What I was thinking it must be for, but thought it wasn't an ideal location as well.
