Just a quick question. When you towing a bassboat on highway, is it necessary to take the seat off the deck??? It is possible that I can just leave it on?

What if your towing with a UTV?

Great video! Love that ya'll covered keeping your winch and safety attached while backing down and crossing the trailer chains. Two of the biggest things I see that get me nervous for other people taking some avoidable risk. Quick question, what is the best way to check the trailer brakes? Is it just a simple matter of inspection and watching them grab while someone taps the brakes on the tow vehicle?

Transom straps can come off before going down the ramp on most smaller boats. Winch strap will keep them on the trailer as you back down.
OPEN A WINDOW on the tow vehicle before starting down the ramp. Its your escape if the truck slides on down into the water.
PFD should be on if the hull is about to get wet.
Too many people fall off of boats in 10-12 ft of water and are never seen alive again. -
Very good, short and to the point video on the basics. Great job
