Boat Buckle G2 Retractable Gunwale Tie Down, 2 Inch x 38 Inch, Sold as Pair

The Boat Buckle G2 Retractable Gunwale Tie Down secures a boat to its trailer at the gunwale, offering a fast, self-retracting alternative to loose straps and ratchet tie-downs. Each strap features a beefy vinyl-coated double J-hook designed to fit gunwale rails that measure 2 inches wide or less, making this tie down well suited to aluminum boats and other boats with narrow gunwale rails. The webbing measures 2 inches wide by 38 inches long, with a break strength of 2,500 lbs per tie down and a safe working load of 833 lbs per tie down. This tie down is sold as a pair, giving both gunwale mounting points a matched, retractable hold-down without the slack and re-tensioning that plain straps require.

Because the strap is retractable, it pulls back out of the way automatically when not in use, keeping the deck and gunwale clear of loose webbing while trailering. The double J-hook design lets the strap grip narrow rail profiles securely on both sides of the hook for a stable connection point during transport.
