Boat Trailer Straps

Depends on the brand and style of boat. I have had boats that go each way. Last boat a ProCraft the bow strap went over the roller.
My current boat a Triton goes under the roller.
Best way to tell is if the bow hook is over the bow roller when the boat is properly loaded on the trailer the hook goes over the roller.
Same if the bow hook is under the roller.
When your boat is properly loaded your boat should be snug against the front roller. Hope that helps. Again depends a lot on the manufacture and or style of boat.

How is this cover tied down when the boat is docked in the water.. It shows straps to tie down on the trailer but how is it tied down once docked...

if the cover does not have tie down loops sewn in along the bottom edge then sew in some using nylon strap material. you can hold the cover on the boat by using sand filled bags, suspended from the tie down loops, or even sand filled plastic jugs tied to the tie down straps. the weight of the sand will hold the cover on the boat.

hope this helps

During late spring one year, a blonde was trying out her new boat. She was unable to have her boat perform, travel through water, or do any maneuvers whatsoever no matter how hard she tried.

After trying for over three days to make it work properly, she decided to seek help. She putted the boat over to the local marina in hopes that someone there could identify her problem.

Workers determined that everything from the engine to the outdrive was working perfectly on the topside of the boat. So, a puzzled marina employee jumped into the water to check underneath the boat for problems. Because he was laughing so hard, he came up choking on water and gasping for air. Under the boat, still strapped in place securely, was the trailer.

The boat should still go though poorly right?

Anyhoo, here's another one, a blonde cowboy:

A fellow walks into a bar very down on himself. As he walks up to the bar the bartender asks, "what's the matter?"
The fellow replies, "well I've got these two horses (sniff,sniff), and well... I can't tell them apart. I don't know if I'm mixing up riding times or even feeding them the right foods."

The bartender, feeling sorry for the guy, tries to think of somthing he can do. "Why don't you try shaving the tail of one of the horses?"
The man stops crying and says, "that sounds like a good idea, I think I'll try it."

A few months later he comes back to the bar in worse condition than he was before. "What's the matter now?" the bartender asks.
The fellow, in no condition to be in public, answers, "I shaved the tail of one of the horses (sob, sob), but it grew back and I can't tell them apart again!" The bartender, now just wanting him to shut up or leave says, "why don't you try shaving the mane, maybe that will not grow back."

The fellow stops crying, has a few drinks, and leaves. A few months later the fellow is back in the bar. The bartender has never seen anybody in this sorry of a state. Without the bartender even asking the fellow breaks into his problems. "I.. I shaved the (sob) mane of one of the (sniff) horses, and... it... it... grew back!"

The bartenter, now furious at the guy's general stupidity, yells, "for crying out loud, just measure the stupid horses. Perhaps one is slightly taller that the other one!" The fellow can not believe what the bartender has said and storms out of the bar.

The next day the fellow comes running back into the bar as if he had just won the lottery. "It worked, it worked!" he exclaims. "I measured the horses and the black one is two inches taller than the white one!
