Each strap uses a two-inch, seat belt quality polyester web that automatically retracts out of the way when not in use, eliminating loose, flapping strap ends during transport. The system features automotive-style webbing, anti-corrosive construction, and sturdy coated hooks, along with a contoured Sur-Grip rubber coated handle and release lever for comfortable, simple one-hand operation. A dual release lever gives easy access when it is time to disconnect the strap. The mounting bracket adapts to most mounting angles for a straight-line pull to the transom eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraps are sold as a pair and are designed for one-bolt permanent installation to the trailer frame, using the mounting bolt, washer, and locknut included in the box. Standard length extends up to 43 inches, and each strap carries a break strength of 2,500 pounds with a safe working load of 833 pounds. This is a universal tie-down system intended for use with the trailer's existing mounting tab or a drilled mounting hole, rather than a fitment tied to a specific make or model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e BoatBuckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e F08893\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Retractable Transom Tie Down Strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold as a pair (2 straps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 43 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreak Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,500 pounds per strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafe Working Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 833 pounds per strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seat belt quality polyester webbing with coated steel hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sur-Grip rubber coated handle and release lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes mounting bolt, washer, and locknut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Mounting Torque:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 foot-pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tie-Down Point Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 to 41 inches from mounting hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Web Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 degrees from vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.98 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 079111088931\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal one-bolt mounting to a trailer frame;
