    Prop Size

    I have a Volvo Penta Prop now. It is 14 1/4" x 23. I wanted to replace it, so I bought the prop that is for my I/O, and I chose the michigan wheel vortex. When I got the Michigan Wheel, I noticed it is 14" x 23. Will the 1/4" in diameter less change anything? It is a direct replacement...

    The trailer I have is a nicely built one by heritage. The main winch has a lock on it to hold once your done cranking. But I was wondering, should I have some sort of safety chain from the boat to the winch mounting, in case the winch lock let go? I have rear straps on my boat, but didn't...
