Hi Guys
Has anyone retrofitted an automatic trailer latch to their trailers? I had one on my Mastercraft which was the Boat Buddy and it was brilliant. Glide onto the trailer, nudge the latch trigger with the bow eye and "click", locked onto the trailer and out you go. Neither the boat or car driver got out of their seats... Made pulling the boat out so fast and easy. Only pain was it left marks on the hull which needed to be polished out occasionally, and if you hit it too hard it bent and needed to be hammered back..
Mastercraft has now changed to the Ramp N Clamp system who have a retrofit system to fit most trailers. I am about to order one and fit it to my trailer along with some stainless Boat Buckle retractable transom tie downs.
In the USA they are cheap at US$150, by the time it gets to me in Australia with the exchange rate and freight I am looking at AU$300. Not cheap but worth it if it works as well as they advertise....

Let me know if you have fitted these and have any experience with them.
