    Oops.

    Saw a post a few years ago on a bike forum where a guy had been cleaning his chain with the bike idling in first gear and manage to hook 3 fingers into the sprocket. It was...unsettling

    It happens when boat owners put the winch strap OVER the bow stop. It's supposed to go under the bow stop.

    See the picture below? That's correct. If the truck get's into an accident or has to panic stop, the bow stop/roller will not allow the boat to start moving forward. I've seen a lot of people with bow stops and winches not set up right. If the strap goes OVER the stop and they do not tie down the stern (many don't- VERY BAD IDEA) then you can have a 4000 lb cruise missile on your trailer.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Where's the chain? Every boat I've ever towed or put in the water has had a back up chain.

    Well, yes, it should have a safety chain, but the strap configuration is what I was trying to display.

    Here is someone looking to send their vessel for some air time:

    Yep. Never mind the physical damage; WD-40 is the devil!

    What? WD-40 is awesome! You can use it in place of cooking oil if you're out of PAM (so I once told someone who did it).



    He didn't die, so :notsure:?

    What's the WTF? What am I missing?

    If he's blocking the loading dock, then it's technically Asshole Parking.

    We have a thread for that too.
