BoatBuckle Protective Boat Pads for 2 Inch Tie-Down Straps, 2-Pack

The BoatBuckle Protective Boat Pads (F13180) are strap protectors designed for use on virtually any transom or gunwale tie-down. Each pack includes two pads sized for 2 inch straps, made to slide directly onto the webbing of a tie-down strap so the strap itself never makes direct contact with the boat's hull, gunwale, or transom surface during trailering or storage.

The pads act as a cushioning barrier between the tie-down buckle or webbing and the boat's finish, helping prevent scratches, abrasions, and rub marks that can build up on gel coat or paint over repeated trailer trips. They also help protect the strap itself, reducing wear, fraying, and cutting where the webbing would otherwise flex against a hard edge or buckle. Installation is tool-free: simply slide each pad onto the strap in the location where it contacts the boat, and remove when the strap is repositioned.

These pads are built for use with 2 inch tie-down straps and are compatible with a range of BoatBuckle and CargoBuckle retractable ratchet strap systems. They are a simple, low-cost add-on for anyone who regularly trailers a boat and wants to protect both the boat's finish and the tie-down hardware from repeated abrasion.
