GREAT idea!! Thanks Capt Dave!

[@quailshootr6389]

Good job, MacGyver. Great idea painting the non slip paint on the coupler.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

OF COURSE, then I used the rest of the can of ''COAT-IT'' over that.

[@Adam-jo5mm]

Instead of drilling the tongue of the trailer, you could have cut 3/8" or 1/2" off the back of the coupler and got the holes a lot closer to matching.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

It was easier to just drill than to cut all that steel, and exposing raw steel.

Isn't it funny how every so often 1 little tool or bit or something that's tucked away and doesn't get used much just as you said , "saves the day". /lets you finish a project or a repair.Good to go for another 17 years Capt Dave!!! Well at least for couplers anyway. As always thanks for sharing.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

I have used and abused that harbor freight bit and it's cousins to near death and they keep working. When I do something it'll last for sure. It's my ultimate goal. Now if my batteries would have just lasted longer.....gotta call ELON!

[@bwillis3264]

Those harbor freight step bits are awesome. Its amazing how much abuse they can take👍

[@geraldgibson2468]

dave, with that paint job, your coupler should be bullet proof for many years.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

Yep, like the video title, ""over due, and over done"". Making things last, is my 2nd job.

[@ifishcatfish]

I need to do this. Mine just looks flimsy. And has free play. I want some solid with no free play

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

yep, if a safety issue as mine was becoming. Time to replace.

[@Pinchshot39]

I need to swap mine out too. Thanks

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

Those straps over the top in the beginning, were SAFETY STRAPS I made, incase it broke in half, it was so rusty!
