Boat Buckle Ratchet Transom/Utility Tie-Down, 1 Inch x 3.5 Feet, Pair

The Boat Buckle Ratchet Transom/Utility Tie-Down is a ratchet-style cam buckle tie-down strap built for securing boats, PWCs, coolers, tackle boxes, and other gear that needs to stay put during transport. Sold as a pair, each strap measures 1 inch wide by 3.5 feet long and is rated to a break strength of 1,200 pounds with a safe working load of 400 pounds per strap, giving boaters a dependable option for transom, utility, and general tie-down duty on trucks, trailers, and boats.

Each strap uses nylon webbing paired with zinc-coated trailer hooks and vinyl-coated top S-hooks, a combination designed to resist corrosion in marine environments while protecting gel coat and finished surfaces from scratching where the hook makes contact. The ratchet cam buckle mechanism allows for quick tensioning and release, making it easy to cinch down a load securely and back it off again without fighting a knot or standard strap buckle. Because the straps come as a matched pair, they are ready to use on both sides of a load right out of the package.

This tie-down works well anywhere a boat, PWC, or loose cargo needs to be held firmly in place, whether that is securing a hull to a trailer bunk, holding a cooler or tackle box down on deck, or lashing gear inside a truck bed. The vinyl-coated S-hooks and zinc-coated trailer hooks make it straightforward to attach to standard tie-down points, trailer frames, and cleats.
