Premium 2" wide straps secure your boat's stern to your trailer quickly and easily. Simple to hook up, they retract automatically, and offer a permanent mount, helping you to get on and off the water in a flash. 2,500 lbs Max load.

Specs:
BoatBuckle's second-generation transom tie-down straps bolt to the rear crossmembers of your trailer and simplify the securing and unloading of your boat. They are designed to keep constant tension on the strap and require minimal ratcheting to secure your load. Instead of always having to find and store tie-down straps that hook to the tie-down anchors on the back of your boat, BoatBuckle's straps are always right where you need them. Just pull up on the hook and strap, attach the hook to the transom, and then operate the ratchet several times. No more dealing with extra webbing or looking for the tie-down strap. And when unloading, simply push the release button on the ratchet, free the hook from the transom anchor and let the strap retract back down into the ratchet.
Installation
These straps come with the mounting hardware that you'll need to install them. It is recommended that you use anti-seize (LT37616 - sold separately) to ensure that the nuts are properly tightened down over the bolts. You can mount the ratchets with the included bolts directly to the trailer frame or crossmember. If you need to angle the ratchet strap or move it a little farther off the frame, a universal mounting kit (IMF14254 - sold separately) is available.
Note: Transom tie-downs should always be used along with a winch strap and a pair of gunwale tie-downs. All straps and cables should be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). To determine the maximum load, or break strength, of the strap, simply multiply the WLL by 3. The WLL is always one-third (1/3) of the maximum load. It is recommended that you always use straps in pairs.

Premium 2" wide straps secure your boat's stern to your trailer quickly and easily.

Loading and unloading my boat is quicker now and there’s no more dealing with the straps that you have to take off or put on.
These are super sturdy.
Awesome tie down. I'm a hot air balloon pilot and use the tie downs to secure my basket / cart in my trailer.
The package says 2500 lbs per ratchet so need to correct the description.
I replaced the ones that were worn out with another brand last year and they just didn't work good, were heavy enough, but decided to change again. These should last a while. I've had many sets over the years

Still good.
One of the retractable straps works flawlessly, the other slips 1/2 of the time.

I can understand that you would want confidence that the strap will hold. Would you be able to send a picture of the straps in use? I will reach out to the manufacturer about your experience.
These are a new design. I went back to trailer tie downs rather than the cheap knock offs from the auto parts store. I am over the moon happy with the improvements. So much so I bought another set for my other trailer. Awesome work. They came quick and well packaged happy all around.
Awesome product easy to assemble and use
Beats the heck out of fooling with loose straps
Wish I has bought this sooner.
Got here sooner than I expected
Thanks etrailer !!!

Still working like a new one they secure my boat to the trailer with ease. This was one of the best additions I have made to my boat trailer. Highly recommend for anyone.
Fifteen minute install using the existing tabs on my Skeeter trailer. Installed this morning but have not used them other than to strap my boat down after replacing the cheap factory tie downs.
Seem to be decent quality and the weight is far greater than expected. I think these will last a long time if not abused.

Best tie downs on the market. Try them one time and you won’t go back to any other type. Delivery was fast and complete.
Should be way more convenient than regular ratchet straps!

Fantastic. Still works like new. So much better than using ratchet straps!
I ordered tires in the past from etrailer for our boat trailer..so I ordered tie downs for back of boat to avoid bouncing on rough roads..they came within a week..I was so surprised..they are fast delivery on standard shipping..very nice quality products..carton has directions for quick release.. very pleased and will order more from them in future when we need something..thank you etrailer..
Great ratchet straps,put on a bass boat trailer.
This makes securing your boat to the trailer a snap. Easy on and easy off without having to carry the strap. But best of all, no more getting your fingers pinched in the snap buckle!

Just great. They still work like the day I got them. These buckles are super convenient to use.
Exactly as described. Best price around. Etrailer is my go to store for all trailer needs. It should be yours too!
The old Rod Saver cam-type hold-down straps on my boat trailer had become increasingly difficult to properly tension. After a 15 minute installation of these Boat Buckle straps, I know why others like them. They’re super quick to hook and properly tension, and I no longer have to carry straps to my truck before launching our boat.

After spending 5 to 10 minutes to get my oil cal straps to the proper tension each time I loaded my boat, these ratchet straps take less than 15 seconds to hook and tension on each side. Great product!
These were easy to install and made securing the stern of our boat to the trailer fast and easy. Bolted right to the trailer, not in a bucket somewhere. Take seconds to tighten and release. Great product. Did two winters in and out of salt water in Florida and no problems.
My cousin has these tie downs on his expensive bass boat. I used to always use some ratchet straps and they were a pain to deploy and keep up with. I installed a set on the big aluminum boat and the old ski boat. Why I did not do this years ago? They are great. Just pull them up, attach, give it a couple clicks. Very secure. Have had them for over a year and could not be happier.
If you are looking for an easy and secure method of keeping your boat in place these are the ticket. I have them on the back of my Thunderjet Luxor. I replaced the originals with these and they work much better.
These boat buckles are awesome! I wish I would have known about them sooner

It is awesome. Couldn’t be any happier with this purchase
New boat didn't come with Boat Buckles, it was my first purchase for the new boat. Outstanding product, I had these on my previous boat. Etrailer has always provided fast shipping at great prices..thanks!!!
Easy to install. No more having to store tie downs. Less time spent at the ramp.
Wow, why didn't I buy these sooner? One of the best purchases I've made for my boat! These are super easy to use, and they work great!
easy and great set up!

GREAT! Have been used a lot and work just as well as day 1!
Great product. I installed them on my Ranger Boat trailer. Makes loading and unloading much easier and faster. When using crowded boat ramps it is courteous to get in or out as quickly as possible. These ratcheting tie-downs are simple and fast. They are very well made so you can tow safely and have the confidence that whatever you are towing is secure.

These boat tie-downs are still functional as they were when I first mounted them on my boat. I use my boat monthly. The tie-downs show no sign of rust or weathering. I’m super satisfied I made this purchase!!
