I closed the 's' in a vice Posted by: desertdave on Sep-26-12 10:38 PM (EST)
and then use 'biners to attach to the car and straps on the boats. If something were to loosen, I hope to see the slack in the bow or stern lines, and stop and fix it before something happens. I would hate to compound the original problem by having the hook drop off and dent the hood, or have the rope wrap a rotating item and break the boat, or worse.
