  1. The reason I'm asking is because my bolts loosened off on my lower unit the other day while on the water. I've been using my boat all season with no issues (haven't touched the bolts). I'm just trying to figure out how this could happen. It ruined a weekend trip and nearly cost me losing the whole unit to the bottom of the lake. I use a transom saver and can't think of any other reason...

    loctite is your friend and retorque to spec.

  2. My opinion only, others may differ. I would keep the chain with enough allowance that you can turn safely. I would not want that much length of chain. In case the trailer got unhitched, the trailer tongue might swing so far out and pose a danger while in motion or it will slide further under your vehicle and cause more damage. The shorter chain will keep the trailer from traveling farther than you want incase of a mishap.
