I noticed this last night when putting the boat up…I dont think this is normal and Id hate for it to come apart on the road…who do i need to speak to about this? I didnt get the short strap that would go from the boat to the trailer like my last boat had with this one, is that something that should have been included or no? My dealer is 3 hours away or Id just talk to them about it…purchased the boat on 5/2 I think it was…a month or so ago, boat was new when purchased.I appears to be coming apart at a seam, although I dont know why they would put a seam that close to the latch.http://s569.photobucket.com/user/Jennif … c.jpg.html][/URL[/url]] Purchased new 5/4/15Bass Cat Sabre Vision EliteMercury Pro XS 150MotorGuide 75lb Tour EditionHumminbird – Stock (will be changing soon I hope)

Id just contact dealer first. Gotta believe all you need is new strap that is easily put back on the winch. They can easily ship it to you.C.O.D. Jr. III

I could be way off….wouldnt be the first time….but some winch straps have a label/tag woven into the strap. Just from the pics it almost looks like it could have been one of these tags and it was cut off as close as possible. Just a thought. Anything can happen but it seems weird that a new strap would be falling apart. I dont think they normally come with the short tie down you are referring too. It is extra peace of mind but the winch strap going under the bottom roller puts the downward force on the bow of the boat.Jim EbarbMany, LA (Toledo Bend Lake)2004 Cougar/ 225 OptimaxHumminbird Helix 12 Chirp SI on BalzOut Mount at bowLowrance HDS 7 at bowHumminbird Helix 12 Mega SI on Ram Mount at ConsoleLowrance HDS 8 in dash at console

Right now, with this strap looking the way it does, that extra peace of mind would be great.I know what youre referring to as far as the tag goes and that could be situation. The strap has small holes on one side and I can see through it…its nothing I want to take a chance on if you know what I mean…Purchased new 5/4/15Bass Cat Sabre Vision EliteMercury Pro XS 150MotorGuide 75lb Tour EditionHumminbird – Stock (will be changing soon I hope)

Contact your dealer or contact BCB. You cant get warranty through the board. You need to call with your serial number in hand. Not normal. The extra strap or chain is not provided by BCB.

Scuba : Ive never rolled it up that tight…I always hook it into the U-Bolt on the trailer frame when not in use while fishing or slack when I break open the swing away tongue. The dealer may have but I cant say for sure. The boat was a year old (but a new 2014 model) when I purchased it a month ago. It wasnt a demo, or anything like that either. Had 0.3 hours when I picked it up and they ran it right before I picked it up to make sure all systems were good prior to me picking it up.Phil : Email sent to service at BCB…I figured theyd respond on here to tell me what I needed to do…awaiting instructions now…I dont even see replacement straps in the store unless you buy the complete winch assembly. Im sure a generic would be fine, just want to keep it as “Stock” as possible…its only a month old to me anyway.Purchased new 5/4/15Bass Cat Sabre Vision EliteMercury Pro XS 150MotorGuide 75lb Tour EditionHumminbird – Stock (will be changing soon I hope)

The Service email address has issues now and you may not hear back. Telephone your dealer and we will warranty the strap.
