Did you have the boat winched to the bumper when it was in the water? Then later noticed it off the bumper? I've had this problem when loading deep. It has to do with the angle of the boat vs trailer. Now I watch this as my wife is pulling the boat out, as soon as I see this happen, with the boat still partially in the water, I have her stop and I winch it back to the bumper.

If you are trailering a short distance 20-30 minutes do you really need transom hook tie downs? I had never done it in the past but if people here recommend it I will start doing it.

had them on every trailer and used them when long distance towing from idaho to wisconsin and to utah but otherwise until here in nevada rarely used them on the day to day trips to the launch.
in vegas I have to drive over a couple pretty decent asphalt buckles that have developed outside the entrance to lake mead so I use them regularly now but if it wasn't for the dips they would be unused.
others will tell a different story so I view it as do what you feel safe with and keep your insurance up to date.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

It really does depend on your roads. Sometimes I leave some slack in them on drive home if the boat is a little misaligned on the bunks, a dip or two and a couple S turns and she is perfectly aligned on bunks by the time I get home.
