Determining Transom Straps Needed To Secure 5,000LB Boat To Trailer
Question:
I was wondering on the BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down Straps - 2 x 6 - 833 lbs is there a guide I can look at to determine if the boat straps are rated for my boat which is a 1973 Cruisers Bonozana and I think it weighs about 5000 lbs Thanks

The best way to determine the capacity needed to secure your 1973 Cruisers Bonozana is to remember you are securing the heavy boat to the lighter trailer. With the BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF14208 you are looking at each strap has a working load limit of 833lbs. For the set that gives you a working load limit of 1,666lbs. As long as your trailer weighs less than 1,666lbs these straps are sufficient to secure your boat to the trailer. Remember to also account for any other straps which secure the boat to your trailer such as the winch to the bow.
