[quote=ropewalker]Right. I don't use ratchet straps, I use the kind that lock into place, and you then tension by hand.
My tramp attaches in a way that doesn't leave any space at the end of the cross bar. I thought about adding padeyes to the corners of each cross beam for this purpose, but I think they'd have to be rather large.
At the rear, I am now using a rope that goes clear across the back of the boat, with carpet for padding where it's against the hull.
Here's some shots. The boat is now pushed aft about 1.5 feet from where I had it originally, with the rear cross beam aligned over the rear rollers.
I also have some shots of the gelcoat cracks. They are above the bridle attachment point, but not around the bridle.
I'll add the photo's to an album and include the link in another reply.[/quote]
