I had this happen to me several years ago; someone pulled the cotter pin on my trailer hitch and while driving down the freeway, my other pin came out and the hitch came undone! Fortunately, the chains saved me. A friend of mine taught me to cross the chains undernieth the tongue of the trailer, and that's what it fell on. Heard an awful "THUD" when it happened....looked in the rearview and saw that the boat was sitting lower than it usually does.
I managed to get the hitch back in and used the outboard motor lock to secure it temporarily for the ride home. I now use a lock mechanism on the pin that holds the hitch in place.
Don't know who did it, or why.....couldn't need a cotter pin that badly, could you?
