Trailering a boat is required knowledge for all boaters and anglers, but how to connect safety chains properly is often misunderstood. This short video outlines the proper method for connecting safety chains to your vehicle.

The demonstrated method keeps the trailer tongue suspended off the ground should the hitch disconnect.
