BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Gunwale Tie-Down Strap, 2-Inch x 16-Feet, F17636
The BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Gunwale Tie-Down (F17636) is a 2-inch webbing strap that extends to 16 feet, built to secure a boat to its trailer for towing. Each strap is rated at 1,200 pounds breaking strength with a 400-pound safe working load, giving boaters a dependable hold-down point at the gunwale during transport. The strap uses vinyl-coated top hooks and zinc-coated trailer hooks, both chosen to resist cracking and peeling from repeated outdoor use and exposure to weather. A built-in closure on the strap stores excess webbing while trailering, keeping loose strap material from flapping or dragging. The Kwik-Lok design also includes Hi-Vis protective PVC pads at contact points and a Night Eyes reflective closure patch, adding visibility when hooking up or checking the tie-down in low light. The webbing itself is black, with the hardware finished in vinyl and zinc coatings for corrosion resistance. This tie-down ships in interactive retail packaging that doubles as a storage case, so the strap can be kept clean and organized between trips. It is intended for boaters and trailer owners who need a secure, weather-resistant gunwale tie-down for regular launch-and-retrieve use.
