It is the only automatically retractable ratcheting tie-down in its category, so once the boat is loaded the strap winds itself in rather than leaving loose webbing hanging or dragging on the ground. The tie-down is built from stainless steel for durability in brackish or saltwater environments, making it suited to boats that see regular exposure to marine air and spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation uses a one-bolt, permanent mounting method, and the bracket is designed with an anti-corrosive, angle-adaptive mount so it can adjust to the pull angle between the boat and the trailer frame. The webbing itself is two-inch-wide polyester, similar in style to a seat belt, and extends up to 43 inches. Each unit is rated to a break strength of 1,500 pounds and a safe working load of 500 pounds, giving a clear margin between everyday use and failure point. Beyond securing the bow to a trailer, this style of tie-down is also commonly used at the gunwale or transom, for chaining or cabling a trailer to a tow vehicle, or for strapping down gear below deck so it does not shift while underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e F14393\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Bow Tie-Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel hardware with polyester webbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWebbing Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 43 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreak Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,500 lbs per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafe Working Load (SWL):\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 lbs per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetraction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-retracting webbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e One-bolt, permanent mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Angle-adaptive bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.78 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 079111143937\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal fit for boat trailers;
