Safety Chain for Trailer Recommendation

[st68]

I am looking for a safety chain to secure the bow of my boat while trailering... I have one but it is a little too long and have to wrap it so I am looking for something that is more user friendly so I am looking for recommendations. Thank you.

I don't know the technical name but mine is a cable that is wrapped in rubber or plastic. It also comes coiled naturally so you stretch it a little to connect it.

Here is a pic. It is the same stuff my safety chains are made of that go to the truck.

Boat Buckle makes a ratchet style bow tie down also. Here is one site that sells them, they are on most sites though

I made my own with some extra winch cable I had laying around from my old boat. I secured the cable around the post and covered it all the way to the hook with plactic wire wrap. My trailer didn't come with one.
