[QUOTE="muskiemike12, post: 347923, member: 4897"] My boat was rear ended about 12 years ago. It made no difference where the strap was coming off the winch because, the force of the impact sheared the bolts right off that secured the bow stop and winch. The only thing that saved a 3000# bass boat from coming right through the back end of my truck was the transom tie downs. The boat slid about two feet forward on the trailer. The only damage to my boat was a broken trim tab. The other truck was in rough shape from my skeg going right through his grill and radiator. [/QUOTE]
