Boat Buckle G2 Stainless Steel Retractable Transom Tie-Downs, 2 x 43 Inch, Pair (F14256)

The Boat Buckle F14256 G2 Stainless Steel Retractable Transom Tie-Down is a pair of self-retracting ratcheting straps built for securing a boat to its trailer at the bow, gunwale, or transom. The same design can also be used to attach a trailer to its towing vehicle by chain or cable, or to secure gear below deck so it does not shift while underway. Each strap is built from stainless steel for anti-corrosive performance in brackish or saltwater environments, making this version suited to boats that see regular exposure to salt air and spray.

Installation is a one-bolt, permanent-mount setup, and a mounting angle-adaptive design lets the hardware sit correctly regardless of the mounting surface angle. The webbing itself is two-inch wide polyester seat-belt-style webbing that self-retracts into the housing when not in use, so there is no loose strap flapping in the wind or catching underfoot. Each strap extends up to 43 inches and carries a break strength of 1,500 pounds and a safe working load of 500 pounds, and the set is sold as a pair for symmetrical bow, gunwale, or transom tie-down points.
