Question:

Enclosed picture shows I have only 13-3/4 inches from my transom hook to my trailer attachment point. Will the 2foot strap work for me? I cannot find a minimum measurement anywhere. Thanks.

I reached out to my contact at BoatBuckle and the BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF12065 you were looking at has a minimum length of around 8" and maximum length of 24" so it will work perfectly for the 13-3/4" measurement between the frame of your trailer and your transom hook.

I included a video of the # IMF12065 for you to take a look at.

I contacted MORryde and this does happen from time to time as the weight of the trailer can spread out the axles due to downward pressure on the springs/suspension. Odds are the 35" wheel base #MR27ZR will be the correct one for you, but they…
