Other Securing to trailer

[mistersponge]

I just picked up a Yacht Club trailer, and I have my FX-1 sitting on it, I was just wondering how you all secure it to the trailer, there is like 2 feet of gap between the front of the ski and the bow stop, which is the "V" shaped stop for a boat hull. Thank you.

ratchet strap across the tray rails in the back, bungee to the handlepole, THIS for the bow stop, mounting it is up to you...

If I just let some length out on the winch and tighten it to the bow eye would that be good enough? I cant figure out where to mount the bow eye stop without having something welded up.

hook the winch up to it how it is now and use a rope that goes around the trailer tube and tie it up to the eye on the tray

or if you could weld and drill some holes.

Put a trailer box on it and then mount the nose retainer to the box. Then put gas cans, wetsuit, tools, spare parts, etc...in trailer box.

This is what l came up with and can also use the trailer for a sit down.Took the bow stop off,got two pieces of metal,drilled the holes for the connection for the trailer and then drilled one for the bow stop.Simple! Opps! paint too.

I like this idea, will I need to reinforce the inside of the trailer box? I havent seen one in person yet.

put some stainless eyes on the cross bar right under the front of your ski and use a ratchet strap. it will pul the front down and back. then just mount a box on the front and use it for whatever without having to reinforce it. i havent seet a box that i would trust to hold my ski...
