I own a drift boat and was looking for a much easier way to secure the boat to the trailer. After doing some research, I liked the information which was available on etrailer.com. I purchased two pairs of gunwale tie down straps and mounted them permanently(bolted through the frame)to my trailer. I trailer my drift boat 3 days a week. It's a 6 mile round trip to the launch and back home. My pre-trip routine is very simple with these tie down straps. I ratchet each strap until it is tight and that's it. When I arrive at the boat launch, I release each strap with the simple push of a button on each strap. The gunwale hook and tie down strap retract smoothly back into the tie down mechanism just like a seat belt in a vehicle. To secure the boat to the trailer, you simply pull up on each gunwale hook and attach it to the gunwale. You then tension the tie down strap by ratcheting the mechanism. It's as simple as that. When I arrive back home, I park the trailer and release tension on each tie down while leaving the gunwale hooks attached. It's that easy. My 5 star rating is based on frequent usage without a failure of any kind. This is a quality product, very tough and durable. 327180

They are brand new so all I can say is that they where easy to install and from what I can tell they should work great. Far easier that a strap-down that goes across the boat. 708104

Gunwale straps installed easily and do what they are supposed to do. Great product and a great place to buy from. 695849

Great product, good price, delivered ahead of schedule. 620174

Great product, very easy to use, and easy to install. These will replace the strap to hold my drift boat to the trailer. Much easier to use than the single strap and just as secure. 619837

Great Service, and pricing. These are half the price of other sites came just as fast. Even with fast shipping costs, they were still almost half price! 579522

Exactly what they said it was, no surprises here. 574221

Great product. Combined with a bow strap, my skiff does not move on my trailer, saving wear and tear on the chines. 567791

Everything was as described, installed all items the day I received them without any issues. Great service and fast shipping. 550616

Best Gunwale hold down you can purchase! Our old straps wore thru all the time on the sides of our aluminum boat. These have nothing to wear because all that is touching the boat is the coated steel hook over the top of the gunwale. They actually hold down better than a full strap that has a tendency to "squash" the sides of the boat instead of actually pulling down like these do. Buy these and you will never need to replace due to a worn thru strap again!!! Simple on and off and are self storing, no need to put the strap somewhere while your out fishing. It stays attached to the trailer. 513095

Works great 490020

No complaints. The tie down straps are superior to the boat straps that I used for 20 years. I highly recommend this product

Michael N - 03/28/2019

Love these Tiedowns! Forget that old way of doing things! Running back and forth to attach, position and cinch the tie down strap....just attach to the trailer once then it's soooooo easy to use! These work great and the guys at etrailer got my order out to me so quickly! Thanks etrailer! 481895

The retractable tie downs are a great p roduct. 474921

This is a high quality product that has worked flawlessly in the year that I’ve used it to tie down my drift boat. Easy to install and use, and a highly secure system for keeping the boat in place on rough roads, I highly recommend these tie downs. 454216

Works great for my drift boat. Easy to install on the trailer and holds boat just fine. Things to consider based on your setup- 1. Works best when strap is vertical and square to the boat. There was only one part on my trailer where it could be installed. 2. Cover may need to be adjusted because it will need to stretch over the straps. Fine if the straps are at the widest part of the boat but I had to Install mine to the rear of middle. 450208

I installed a set of boat buckles a year ago and love the product. They work great and are so easy to operate, highly recommend. 447317

I got these straps about a year ago and totally impressed. These straps are so awesome easy install and even easy to use. Just pull them out and hook to boat Ratchet tight and off you go. Up these and you will be glad you did! 446902

I installed these straps about a year ago and they are the thing to have.. love them and the ease that they work.. Every one should own these retractable straps!

The only way it could have been better is if someone jumped in a helicopter and delivered it personally the day I ordered it! The communication was great, an email when it shipped (the same day I ordered it), an email when it was delivered, three days later for standard shipping rate. And it's an awesome product. Installed in about 20 minutes, including drilling the holes. Works fantastic, so much better than a long strap over the back of the boat. Thank you etrailer! 444461

I posted a 5 star detailed review a while ago. 352036

The Boat Buckles are great. I was reading about the mounting hardware issues and the supplied nutsbots simply were not the correct length for my mounting locations. I bought some other nutsbolts which were what I needed. Im using these in fresh water.

These things make it a snap when launching and after launching. They hold the boat Good in place and are very durable. Had them on for a year and I'm Very Happy with them. The retractable part is holding up Great not like your cheaper ones out there. I have a pair also for my drift boat that are working Great as well. Jeff 347553

Thanks the products are still working Great in fact one of the motivating factor of buying these from you was the low price you sell them for in fact Im going to order some of the same to outfit another boat i bought for my Fishing Guide Service. Thanks again for checking in with me really appreciate it

I have owned these for a year. I put them on a boat trailer for ties downs. Even using in salt water they are still working great. 344861

These work great for boat tie downs. Well worth it! 329563

The Boat Buckles work great. Some of my fishing buddies saw them and now have them. So far all good.

George C - 01/04/2018

Works great- no more storing- looking for straps as these stay on trailer. Quick and easy to install. I get that having a bolt too long rather than too short is a better scenario- but the bolt that comes with it is excessively long requiring an open end wrench for inside versus deep socket (bolt so long ran out of room to tighten nut. Other than that love the product. 313154

I love these and have them on multiple trailer they install in about 10 min and make strapping down the boat and rafts so much easier. Won't find them cheaper anywhere. 308507

We recently installed a set of boat buckles and I have to tell you they are everything they claim to be and more. Installation was easy, and in use, they are the fastest, easiest way to secure our boat that I have ever seen. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you so much for a great product. Here are a couple of pictures. 305791

Parts for my Clackacraft drift boat trailer came as ordered and on time and at an excellent price. Gunwall retractable BoatBuckles will make my getting on and off the river much faster, especially when I am by myself. Thanks so much. Ron Knoxville, Tn. 304004

I have not installed the hold downs but it looks straight forward. I am pressed with the quality. They are heavy duty. 297878

These boat straps are GREAT. Far better than the "moving" strap over the boat, and you can't loose them out of the back of your pickup because they are attached to the trailer. Very easy to install and operate well worth the price. Thanks 284039

Was shipped to me really fast, even with the econemy shipping. Very easy to install on my boat trailer. Seems to be very well made, and are easy to operate. They will be much easier to use than the over the boat strap. I saved money by going thru etrailer, glad I bought them. 280020

Exactly what I wanted, fits perfectly over the gunwale of my war eagle boat. On top of that its $30 cheaper than what Cabelas or Basspro are selling them for. 279099

Slick as hell. No more jumbling around. Boat straps store and operate with the utmost best design. I highly rate their construction. And etrailer is the best. 276817

I love these things! As a fly fishing guide with a drift boat, these ratcheting gunwell straps make launching and trailering the boat a breeze! Easy to mount, easy to use, and no more strapping all the way across the boat for me! Great product! 259585

After having another $25 strap break for trailering my aluminum drift boat. I decided to give these a try. Easy installation , 1 bolt though trailer. Super quick and effective to use. The boat will not budge a smidgen coming down the road. 257941

Total game changer. Securing the boat (and un strapping) couldn't be easier. Saves time,can be done in the dark, and never having to find or untangle straps again...well worth the money 253959

by: Ryan L05/09/2016

These buckles are spectacular! Their convenience is unmatched for a quick getaway at the end of the day. They are secure and have never failed in dozens of trips. They were also easy to install. Way simpler than throwing the old 'tie-down' over top the boat. Get 'em! 249324

Thanks for checking up. I still love the boat buckles! They make tying down my boat slick and easy and I’ve never had a problem of them letting go. I can’t imagine using anything else!

Sixth pair purchased. 4 pairs for friends who had to have them after seeing mine. Used to hold down drift boat to trailer. No more straps! Etrailer provided great service and delivery 238339
