Does anyone tow their boat with the mast supported for and aft only?? I put a support from the mast step as well is that even needed ?
We do fore and aft only. Sometimes I attach bungees in the middle, from the mast to the grab rail, just to help keep things a little steadier. Never anything underneath the mast though.Does anyone tow their boat with the mast supported for and aft only?? I put a support from the mast step as well is that even needed ?
This may be, but there are the main plus fore and aft shrouds that stabilize/support the mast at the spreader bars.The mast is designed to handle forces well in excess of the oscillating forces imparted by its own weight when the trailer bounces.
