Anyone that knows me I am pretty anal on checking over my boats mechanicals after almost ever trip. Well I found a few issues on something I have never checked before tonight. I have lost a couple bolts and lock nuts that hold the long runner bunks to the trailer. Be sure to check yours before you lose a bunk at the ramp or worse it falls off as you are pulling your boat out and you punch holes in your haul. Off to the hardware store tomorrow to buy some stainless hardware.
