Parking Brake, is it nessary to launch small boat.
4/2/15 @ 9:18 AM
I am caught between a rock and a hard place, my parking brake broke on my Jeep and the cost to fix it is $900. I don't have the cash to fix this right now and I am not sure if I could actually pay that much for an e brake repair.
The question I have is do I really need a parking brake to launch my boat? My jeep in automatic transmission and my boat is a 16foot aluminum 40 h.p.. I usually fish once per week in the summer. I understand that it is safer to have a parking brake when launching the boat, but I am also wondering if there is anything else I could do to prevent my jeep from rolling into the water. Maybe put a block under the front tire or?? Any input you guys have?
Thanks.
