Some aspects of boating aren’t right.

You’ve got your dream boat
rigged to perfection for every convenience that matters to
your fishing.

Yet when you haul out the beauty to
the boat trailer, you must walk on
the trailer, like on a balance beam,
to connect the winch to the bow eye,
to avoid stepping in the waters.

Or worse, you're forced to plunge
your feet in the waters, soaking your sneakers, to connect the boat.

Dangerous, inconvenient and silly looking -- not right.

But hooray, those days are history!

That's because you’ve got the Snapper Boat Latch.

With the Snapper Boat Latch, you stay onboard the boat, drive
the vessel onto the tralier to the latch, and the latch snaps
automatically onto the bow eye.

Nobody straddles the trailer or walks in the drink to snap the winch
to the bow.

The Snapper Boat Latch doesn’t replace the winch, because the winch must still be secured to the bow for safe trailering, and so should a safety chain.

After the latch snaps onto the bow, the boat is moved to dry ground on the trailer, and then the winch and safety hooks are also attached to the bow eye for traveling.

A set of jaws catches the bow eye on the Snapper, and see the jaws in the photo at the bottom of the page.

The Snapper replaces the V-block or rollers usually attached to the
winch stand.

An elongated bow eye, available from Snapper, might need to be installed on the boat, replacing the boat's original, to fit the Snapper jaws, the winch hook and safety-chain hook at once.

A remote control is used to activate the jaws to be set to catch the eye.

For example, the boater, just before motoring the vessel toward the trailer, uses the remote to
activate the jaws to be ready to catch the eye.

Or the boater, just before placing the trailer in the waters, can set the jaws
by hand to be ready.

To launch the vessel, the boater can follow a similar process in reverse.

The battery in the vehicle that tows the trailer powers the electronics
that run the Snapper.

The Snapper allows safer and more convenient hauling out and launching.

“One bite and you’re hooked,” the company says.

Now you’ve got your boat rigged to perfection.
