[Rhodes22-list] Puzzlement #1, bow hook?

[Bill Effros]

Seems to me that Elton leaves the strap slack, and the boat not all the 
way into the stop.  I think he once told me he only connects the strap 
to the eye because he gets stopped by cops if he doesn't.

The idea that that strap, bow eye, winch etc. will make much of a 
difference if the ton and a half cargo starts seriously moving around on 
its trailer seems unlikely to me.
