Not to thread jack but our boatmate trailer came with a safety strap hook. Last weekend I was in the boat organizing some things and what not and my buddy goes to back the trailer in the water. Forgets to undo the safety strap. Slowly backs me down the ramp, I begin to float and boom that hook snapped on that strap with next to no force applied. Didn't even have time to start up the boat before it snapped. Thing was so damn weak it snapped off without me even feeling a thing, only reason I knew it happened was the sound.
Needless to say make sure you get something strong. And to those of you with the boatmate safety strap, don't bank on it holding anything more than an inflatable dingy to your trailer
