BoatBuckle Retractable Ratchet Bow Tie-Down F14220, 2 Inch x 14-43 Inch, 2500 lb Capacity, Black
BoatBuckle Retractable Ratchet Bow Tie-Down F14220, 2 Inch x 14-43 Inch, 2500 lb Capacity, Black
The BoatBuckle F14220 is a retractable ratcheting bow tie-down built to secure the bow of a boat to its trailer as part of a three-point tie-down system. Unlike a fixed-length strap, the ratchet mechanism retracts automatically, so there is no loose webbing flapping in the wind or getting tangled during loading and towing. The strap adjusts from 14 inches to 43 inches, and the 2 inch wide polyester webbing is rated for a 2500 pound capacity with a safe working load of 1,667 pounds. Stainless steel hardware and an S-hook fastener are included, and the unit is designed for easy assembly onto most trailers and boats with bow tie-down points.
This is a single strap, intended to be used alongside a good winch strap and either a gunwale or transom tie-down to complete a proper three-point trailer tie-down setup. It is finished in black polyester webbing. Note that this strap is not suitable for use in brackish or saltwater environments; for corrosive or saltwater conditions, a stainless steel version of the BoatBuckle G2 tie-down is the better fit.
