[QUOTE="rmzachar, post: 190616, member: 3724"] I had tried to come up with a way to have the winch lower then the bow stop, but the holes were already in place on the winch post as it is and I figured I would try to leave it the way it is if at all possible. Also, with the winch cranked all the way as far as it can go, the boat still sits flat on the bunks and right at the back edge of the bunks. The current setup seems solid, but what I am concerned most with in this setup is if the winch fails and I slam on the breaks for whatever reason, nothing is there to stop the boat from flying into the bed of my truck. Would another simple tie down up at the front of the boat be good enough to keep the boat secure in a catastrophic even like that? Or is it just a better idea to redo the winch post with the bow stop higher and the winch itself lower? [/QUOTE]
