BoatBuckle Mini Retractable Transom Tie-Down, 1 Inch x 72 Inch, Pair, F106877

The BoatBuckle Mini Retractable Transom Tie-Down is a self-retracting ratchet strap system built to keep a boat secure to its trailer during transport, protecting the boat, other drivers, and everyone at the launch ramp. Each strap uses six feet of one-inch, seat belt quality polyester webbing that self-retracts up to 72 inches in length, so there is no loose strap to gather, coil, or tangle after use. A dual-release lever lets you engage or release the ratchet quickly, and a dual safety lock holds tension on the strap so only minimal ratcheting is needed to secure the load.

Construction is anti-corrosive steel with a stainless steel spring and a sturdy plastic housing, built to hold up to repeated exposure to water and weather. Vinyl-coated S-hooks attach to the trailer and boat without marring surfaces, and a rubber-coated handle makes ratcheting more comfortable. Mounting is designed to be permanent, using a single bolt per unit so the tie-down stays attached to the trailer between uses; mounting hardware is included. This tie-down is sold as a pair of transom (stern) straps, each rated to a breaking strength of 1,400 pounds and a safe working load of 466 pounds.
