Default Boat winch & turnbuckle

My old Hitchhiker trailer utilizes a V-support, not a roller, attached to the winch stand. The cable (I'm not encouraging a debate on cables vs straps) goes under the V-support to the bow eye. Additionally I added a large aluminum turnbuckle to my trailer which attaches to the bow eye and keeps the bow loaded downward while trailering and is a backup system if there were a winch or cable failure on the road or while pulling out of the boat ramp.
