The Boat Trailering Guys


If I set the parking brake of my tow vehicle, is it also necessary to chock the boat trailer wheels if I'm doing some work on it? Seems like the truck should hold everything in place.

GEORGE: It is always a good idea to take the time and put a chock under the wheels regardless of how tired you are or how in a hurry you may be. Need I say more? MIKE: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"....
