2 in Bulldog coupler FAILED

[SeaDawg]

I think the coupler incident was a manufacturers problem 

 Probably  a one off, as said before. Hopefully 

However, everyone in that time period should check stamping.

Is this similar to other's with 2 5/16?

 

Yes, I also opted for the 2 5/16” BD coupler with 12000lbs capacity.

I wanted to reach out to everyone regarding this issue. We have been made aware of the issue and are currently investigating. At this time it appears to be a single incident but we will be continuing our investigation.

Thank you, Jason, for contributing here! This shows the class act of OTT! ☺️

I'm certain you understand that manufacturing defects are more often batch-based than a single incident. At the same time, we hope it is a "single incident" for those we title Oliver owners.

I recently purchased an older used hull, so np here. First thing I did was to check. There are many Oliver owners that do not frequent our wonderful OTT Forum. I would imagine that OTT is sending a safety/recall notifications to every OTT customer in your owners database. Thank you Jason!
