{"product_id":"boatbuckle-protective-boat-pads-for-2-inch-tie-down-straps-2-pack","title":"BoatBuckle Protective Boat Pads for 2 Inch Tie-Down Straps, 2-Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\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 F13180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Width Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pads per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 inches wide x 7 inches tall x 1\/8 inch thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beige\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 079111131804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transom and gunwale tie-downs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size straps do the BoatBuckle Protective Boat Pads fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BoatBuckle Protective Boat Pads, part number F13180, are sized for 2 inch tie-down straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pads come in a pack?\u003c\/strong\u003e F13180 ships as a 2-pack, giving you one pad for each side of the boat or for two separate strap contact points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the pad dimensions?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each pad measures 3 inches wide by 7 inches tall by 1\/8 inch thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material are the pads made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BoatBuckle Protective Boat Pads are made of plastic, in a beige finish, designed to cushion a strap against a boat's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere on the boat are these pads meant to be used?\u003c\/strong\u003e F13180 is intended for use on virtually any transom or gunwale tie-down location where a strap contacts the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you install the boat pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e No tools are needed - each F13180 pad simply slides onto the webbing of a 2 inch tie-down strap at the point where it would otherwise contact the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill these pads work with other BoatBuckle or CargoBuckle straps?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the F13180 pads are compatible with a range of BoatBuckle and CargoBuckle retractable ratchet strap systems that use 2 inch webbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the purpose of these pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e They protect a boat's finish from scratches and abrasion caused by tie-down straps and buckles, while also reducing wear on the strap webbing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when you order F13180?\u003c\/strong\u003e An order of F13180 includes two protective boat pads sized for 2 inch straps; no straps or hardware are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much do the pads weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BoatBuckle Protective Boat Pads weigh 0.3 pounds per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan these pads be removed and reused?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, since F13180 pads slide onto the strap webbing without adhesive or fasteners, they can be repositioned or removed as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo these pads protect the strap as well as the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, in addition to shielding the boat's surface, the F13180 pads reduce friction on the strap itself, helping prevent cutting and fraying of the webbing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boat Buckle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027443884251,"sku":"BBB-13180","price":5.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/BBB-13180_lg__10153.1558141184.500.750.jpg?v=1785163409","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/boatbuckle-protective-boat-pads-for-2-inch-tie-down-straps-2-pack","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
