For Boat Tie Down Straps, Does Breaking Strength Combine For Multiple Straps?
Question:
I understand that I need to choose a tie-down strap with a break strength that exceeds the weight of the traile, but the breaking strength must be individually o both together?? Thanks

Good question. In this case we can use the breaking strength of both straps together. For example the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Straps # IMF14220 have a break strength of 2,500 lbs per strap. So you could use two of these to secure a boat to a 5,000 trailer and so on.
