BoatBuckle F14206 Transom Tie-Down Ratchet Straps, 2 Inch x 2 Feet, 2-Pack
The BoatBuckle F14206 is a pair of heavy-duty ratchet tie-down straps designed to secure a boat's transom to the trailer during transport. Each 2 inch by 2 foot strap carries an 833 pound working load limit and a 2,500 pound break strength, giving the tie-down system the holding power needed to keep a ski boat, power boat, sport boat, or pontoon stable and secure on the road. A solid steel core inside the ratchet mechanism helps the rated capacity stay accurate and keeps the ratchet itself from becoming a weak point in the system.
The webbing is built to resist rust and corrosion through repeated exposure to both freshwater and saltwater environments, making it suited to regular boat ramp use. Each strap terminates in vinyl-coated S-hooks that grip securely without metal-on-metal contact, protecting the boat's finish from scratches and paint damage while keeping the strap anchored in place. The ratchet mechanism includes a quick-release lever for fast, easy loosening at the ramp, and protective pads help guard against wear at contact points. BoatBuckle, manufactured by IMMI, is a leading marine tie-down brand in North America, and the F14206 is intended to be used as part of a complete tie-down system alongside a bow strap and gunwale tie-downs for balanced, full-boat security.
