Bow Buckle Installation Question
Question:
I purchased a BoatBuckle Pro Series Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap and when I gout home to install it the buckle seem to be install in reverse. Another word instead of pulling the buckle to the bottom of the trailer the buckle seem to latch towards the top of the trailer and the hook. What am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I would just check to make sure at the start of installing the BoatBuckle Pro Series Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap # IMF18741 that you have ran the looped end of your strap from behind the buckle under the boat frame. Once that looped end is brought up, wrapping around the frame, bring the hook through the looped end and attach to your boat anchor loop.
If you've installed it in this order and the latch is still facing toward the bow, it would be worth returning your strap where you purchased. To ensure safe use, you have to have a properly functioning strap.
