Boat Buddy for trailer??

[J. Green]

I have a question, I was wondering about getting a boat buddy to retrofit for my trailer so when I go to put the boat onto the trailer this device supposedly locks in the bow eye. Has anyone get any advice on there use pro's and con's. I was curious if it is easily retrofited onto an existing 2000 Nitro 700LX as well.



Many thanks

I've had one on my boat for several years now. If I had to do it over again I wouldn't buy one. Problem is you have to hit it just right so the spring-loaded pin will snap into place. If you hit it too hard, you'll bend it and it won't work at all, which is usually the case. You also have to change the eye on the bow which has some tight working space.
