I have a 690 and used the silicone on the bunk method, and found it works good. Does any 690 owners ever try the lockable bow mate, i thought with siliconed bunks and a bow mate we would never have to leave the cockpit when loading, just yell to the truck driver that you are all loaded and he can pull out. This would save alot of time. Any thoughts on this one? ;)
Sounds similar to the boat buddy I use. It is one of the greatest investments I ever made. One thing the instructions don't' tell you is that you have to crank the winch handle to loosen the device. I had one or 2 trips where I beat the lever with a hammer for 15 minutes to get it unsecured. If you crank that winch one click, you can pull the lever with one finger. I've never had to reposition the trailer since putting the boat buddy on and I launch the boat in heavy current often. |
