I was lucky and took the day off today and went fishing. when I started up the hill to get my truck and trailer after the trip. I noticed something different about my rig. Trailer jack was down, safety chains unhooked and lights unpluged, seems like someone liked my trailer, fortunely I have pin locks on my hitch and my trailer tonge, probably the only reason I still have it. beware if you don't lock your trailer you need to.

Frogger, was it Ray Hubbard or Cedar Creek? Please let us know which ramp as well.

Probably Ray Bob and I'd almost bet it was the Buck Creek ramp...be a good place to set-up an all-day stake out waiting for those rascals to try it. Nab them and take them for a ski trip through the timber at 60-mph. Maybe they'll think twice about trying it again....

I use McCown almost always on Whitney. Thanks for the heads up! McCown is a Corp of Engineer park. There is only 1 State Park on Whitney. I've heard of kids just unhooking trailers and running them down the ramps also, in particular at the Old Schoolhouse ramp on Aquilla. Talking about a secluded ramp. Too much no good **** goes on there.

Hey guys this is a problem for me because I have a 1979 Ranger with a '79 Ranger trailer and the latch on the tongue does not have a place to lock so my question is what can I do. When I trailer down the road I have bungee cords wraped tight around so the latch doesnt pop up but that does not keep someone from messing with it.

Jay-you might be able to put a different receiver on it that has a way to lock it. I've even seen them at WalMart.

My tongue on the boat is all one piece theres no way that I know of to replace where you lock the trailer down at on the ball theres no hole to run a lock through and the latch is all one piece and I dont see anywhere you can unscrew and replace.

Or wrap you a chain through your wheel and the axle and padlock it. Don't forget to remove it before you start backing down

Does your hitch look like this? Just trying to help.

Just drill you a hole in the area where the ball rest when attached and put a lock there. Do it in a way that does not effect the structural integrity of course. Simple enough.
