Mounting Brackets for Boat Buckle Straps an Alternative Drilling Solution
Question:
I have a backtrack trailer for my xpress bay boat. I bought the boat buckle straps but I am concerned that drilling a hole on the frame in the rear to mount them I will hit a wire in the rectangular tubing. Any suggestions?

Expert Reply:
I have a solution to your concern. I recommend using mounting brackets that can be attached to your boat trailer without drilling into the tubing blindly. They can attach at any flat point or mounting surface on your trailer frame. Item # IMF14254 are designed specifically to go with the boat buckle straps item # IMF08893 that you have already purchased. I have attached a video.
