- Best Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps for a Boat Trailer

These straps have a vinyl-coated hook that is designed to attach atop the gunwale of your boat. They have a ratcheting mechanism which will cut down time and slack. They are 38" long and have a 833 lb safe load limit. If you already have anchor points on the boat then you can use the BoatBuckle G2 Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps part # IMF08893...

- To find the correct tie-down straps you'll need to know the dry weight of the trailer and choose one with a break-strength than the trailer weighs. The thought process is reversed for this and you're essentially trying to strap the trailer to boat, which is typically going to weigh more than the trailer.
With the boat being around 3,650lbs dry I'm assuming your trailer probably falls around 2,000lbs so you would need straps like the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down...

- The holes are 1/2 inch in diameter for the BoatBuckle Mini G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Downs - 6' Long - 466 lbs # IMF106877, the same as the mounting bolt hole, but they can't be used with a thru bolt to attach a strap with a looped end.

- The 2019 Tracker 195 TWX looks to have an average dry weight of 1215 lbs. Transom tie downs # IMF14256 have a break strength of 1,500 pounds and working load limit of 500 poundssot it can have up to 500 pounds on it constantly. It is not really supporting the whole boat weight and you are likely using other tie downs, a winch cable, and so on so the transom tie downs will be adequate. If you are not using additional tie downs I do recommend it; such as # IMF14220.
