yesterday at the ramp, I had the boat winched 99% up, and the strap snapped. i have a roller trailer so the boat started sliding back down. I jumped quick, yelled to warn anyone behind, and scrambled to get the bow line. tied a blowine connecting strap to hook, and winched her back up. 75% of the way back on, and the damn handle to the winch spun. ugh. the boat was far enough on that I tied down the bow line to trailer trailer, just so all the weight wasn't on the strap, and drove up on to flat land and had some help pushing the rest of the way onto the trailer....
hits always keep coming with this "hobby."
