I would say go with the bracket as well. I dont know what is involved with installing the bracket, but the less holes in the transom the better.

I have a lot of that as well. I am always adding to my kit as I find things useful. Some of these are not in most general first aide kits. A few of the things I can think of off the top of my head are.

Dramamine and childrens Dramamine

Tourniquet

Iodine

Gauze

Quikclot

Ibuprofen

Childrens benadryl (adults and pets can use)

Survival blanket

Granted I have only used a handful of launches but I have never had to use 4wd yet. It is nice to know that its there though. There is also several other trucks there that I hope would help if I got into a bind. I know I would if someone else needed help. I have found that the tow vehicle weight and wheelbase make a big difference in towing comfortability.
