Tom,
Been there, done that. I probably cranked even harder than you did as I
disloged the CB from the pivot pin. Fortunately I had a figure eight knot on
both side of the line and that prevented the CB from dropping to the ramp. I
had to back off the boat from the trailer and use the boom as a lever to hook
the CB back on the pivot. In a way that was good experience as the same thing
happened a year later when I hit a sandbar amd instead of panicking I just went
thru the same steps again.
