Can the BoatBuckle Tie Down Strap IMF15437 Be Trimmed Down if Needed?

Question:

can this tie down strap be shortened without any problems or is there another way to take up unnecessary slack in tie down.

The BoatBuckle Trolling Motor Tie-Down - 2" x 13-1/2" # IMF15437 uses seat-belt-quality polyester webbing. With that being said, polyester webbing can be sealed using an open flame, so if you need to cut off excess material, it will not start fraying and fall apart. I do need to mention that doing this will most likely void the warranty, just something to be aware of.
