Thanks for your question! No, a winch should not be the only connection between your boat and trailer, especially while driving. You should have a secondary holding device attached to the boat near the winch stand (a chain and hook is often used), and you should have tie downs on your trailer to help secure your boat to it, such as at the rear of the boat.

Thanks for reaching out, William. It sounds like you probably have one of our 6400-series tongue jacks on your trailer, but to make sure, look for three numbers stamped into your jack's black plastic handle grip or black plastic top cap. If we put the numbers "22" in front of those three numbers, we get a five-digit part number of the exact D-L jack you have on your trailer. Let us know what those three numbers are on your jack and we can further assist you.

Thanks for your question! It sounds like you may have a 6850 tongue jack, which can be viewed and purchased on our website here- https://www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=22800. If that's not the model you are looking for, all of our most common tongue jacks can be viewed and purchased here: https://www.dutton-lainson.com/products.php?cat=35.
