How To Choose the Correct Transom Tie-Down Length
Question:
Its exactly 24 inches from trailer eye to transum eye on my boat. Will a 2 foot strap be long enough or do I need to go to the 4 foot model?

Expert Reply:
The BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Transom Tie-Down Straps part # IMF13110 are 24" long from the center of each connection so if that is how much space you have between the two tie-down points then they will work. However, a better option is the BoatBuckle G2 Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps part # IMF08893 which are 43" and also retractable so you don't have to worry about excess slack or not having enough strap. I have attached a list of all our transom tie-downs for you as well.

My eyelet to eyelet on trailer to boat is 20 inches. Will the IMF14206 be long enough for me?
