I've read several posts stating that people's trailers have Cat Trax holders, and I've searched for a picture of what they look like with no luck... Can someone post a picture of how they have them mounted to the trailer when traveling? Currently, I just tie mine to the tramp and pray they don't fall off.
Thanks-
Chris

I would be curious to hear other's responses. I put mine on the top of the hulls on the front or rear. Some people put theirs on the trailer crossbars underneath.

This is the best system I have had on any and all my boats. Catrax axle held in place with a trucker's rubber hood latch. Enlarge picture and zoom to bottom. You can see one of the two vertical support post that are part of the trailer's a-frame. Image is in my folder.

Mine just ride across the top of the hulls as well.

My trailex has 2 vertical posts (about 2 ft tall) on the toung between the front mast support and where the boat box is mounted. Each post has a rubber V-shaped cradle. The distance between the posts locates them just on the outside of the cat trax wheels.
I've had this set-up on 2 trailers and works very well. -
