Do you use boat transom tie down straps while towing? If not, why not?
The trailer on my old boat had tiedown points welded on for strapping the boat down. My current boat trailer does not have any provision for strapping the boat down to the trailer. To be honest, there is not anything strong enough to attach to on the transom that would hold the boat to the trailer in the event of an accident etc. It seems that the boat and trailer should be "attached" to one another more soundly than most of them seem to be.
