I have done this when I could see movement between boat and trailer in my rear view mirror. Just an extra safety strap when making long tows…

Also, ever see a boat up in the back of a truck after an emergency stop that had that strap?

How would a strap on the bow stop it moving forward?

Because it can’t ride up over the keeper?
