Drilling into I-beam for stern tie-downs.

[JWS]

Another option would be a small DIY beam clamp to fasten an attachment eye to the trailer.

@JWS Where are you located? I probably have the materials on hand to fab something up if you’re in the lower mainland, and you’re interested in that sort of solution

Appreciate the offer, although I’m on gabriola, so a little inconvenient

Oh yeah, definitely inconvenient.

Wouldn’t be too hard to cobble together a couple beam clamps like this if you’re worried about poking holes in the trailer. Though a choker sling would work well.

You guys are waaay over thinking this problem. A simple rope around the cross member and back to the boat tie down and problem solved. That boat ain't going anywhere and there's no hole drilling involved. She ain't pretty, but a little good ol Canadian engineering simply works.

100% lol
