[QUOTE="jethro, post: 460091, member: 12381"] Yep, I've had a few incidents.. once I ripped the entire bow eye off the hull of my Starcraft when I forgot to unhook the safety chain. Backed down, hit the brakes a little to jerk the boat off the bunks, boat did not float. So I did it again, only harder... bow eye broke clean off. The first time I retrieved my Sylvan I did a good one... pulled the boat out and pulled the plug, strapped it down and noticed I hadn't winched all the way to the bow stop. I pulled the transom straps off but forgot to remove the transom saver because I never used one on my Starcraft. I floated the boat and winched it tight to the bow stop but pulling out it snapped my transom saver like a toothpick. I'm sure I'll have more as life goes on... [/QUOTE]
