Double check you trailer hook-ups!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Have you seen the mechanism on that locking pin? I bought 2 @ princess auto, the 5/8" ones. After I forgot my key, I found out how bad they are.
All it takes is a flat screwdriver and you can snap the ends off those.

I got a master lock brand one from Can Tire, paid like 6 times the price of princess, and its much better.

Agree...not the best quality. More of a deterrent.

If your hitch remains on all year or most of the summer ,,remove lock pin and install a 9/16 th grade 8 bolt with a lock nut ,not the nylon ones the steel ones....= theft and tamper proof... 8) :wink:

You got that right. Last time I launched at grasshopper point some old lady walking on the road (opposite side from me) screamed through my window "SLOW DOWN!!!!". I looked at my speedometer and it said 40km/h. If that isn't too fast for a school zone I don't know how she thinks I was going to fast for that road.
