Was launching the boat by myself. I tied the line to the wimch post and backed it down. Well apparently the saltwater got the best of the clip for tje front eye of the boat and after hooking it it stayed open and fell off. Boat is steadily getting farther awqy so I untie the rope and throw hoping to catch something on the boat and miss...... second throw the line is as tight as it could be. I mean you couldn't have stretched it tighter. Well the clip made it just over the trolling motor. Didnt catch anything just resting over it. Apparently it was just enough to stop it from floating back farther. I go to ease it forward and I csn see the clip starting to come up so I ease off amd slowly pull on it. And finally get it back. It was a miracle in itself how that happened
