Features to know about

Quick and Easy Securing: Self-Retracting Gunwale Straps

Tired of fumbling with tangled straps every time you load your boat? The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down Straps make securing your boat to the trailer a breeze. These straps automatically retract, just like a seatbelt, meaning you can keep everything neat and tidy without any hassle. Simply pull the straps out, hook them over the gunwale, and ratchet them tight. When you’re done, press the release and watch them retract smoothly back into their housing. It’s that simple!

Rock Solid Reliability: Heavy-Duty Construction

Worried about your straps snapping under pressure? Not with these! Built to handle a maximum load of 2,500 lbs each, these straps feature a corrosion-resistant steel body and vinyl-coated double J-hooks that protect your boat’s finish while providing rock-solid grip. The durable, seat-belt-quality polyester webbing ensures that your boat is held securely in place through every twist and turn of the road.

Hassle-Free Installation: Universal Mounting Flexibility

Thinking installation might be a pain? Think again. These straps come with all the mounting hardware you need to bolt them directly to your trailer frame, no anchor point required. Plus, if you need a bit more flexibility, an additional universal mounting kit is available separately to help you angle or reposition your setup with ease.

Perfect Fit Every Time: Ideal for 2-Inch or Smaller Gunwales

Got a boat with gunwales on the narrow side? These straps are designed specifically to fit gunwales that are 2 inches wide or smaller. The coated steel hooks ensure a snug fit every time, helping you avoid the annoyance of loose or insecure connections during travel.

Convenient and Space-Saving: Minimal Ratcheting Needed

Don’t want to waste time fiddling with straps? With the BoatBuckle G2 straps, minimal ratcheting is required to hold your load in place. Once attached, they keep constant tension without the need for continuous tightening, saving you time and effort whenever you’re ready to hit the water or head home.

Your Boat’s Best Friend: Protective and Secure

Protect your investment with the dual-release lever that makes it easy to unload your boat while ensuring it’s securely tethered during transport. The steel housing, coated for durability and corrosion resistance, ensures these straps won’t wear out even after countless boating adventures.

  • How to Choose the Correct Tie-Down for a Boat and Trailer
    When choosing tie-down straps like the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Tie-Down Strap, # IMF14220, you will want to keep a few things in mind. Boat tie-downs are designed for normal highway driving. The purpose of most boat tie-downs is to strap the lightest object to the heaviest object, meaning you will want to choose a tie-down with a break strength that exceeds the weight of the lightest object. For example, if your boat weighs 4,000 lbs and your trailer weighs 2,000 lbs, you will want to...

  • BoatBuckle Gunwale Tie Down Straps IMF14221 - Is The Hardware Stainless Steel?
    The mounting hardware that comes with the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down Straps # IMF14221 is not made from stainless steel. The bolts and nuts are a zinc plated steel, which will be corrosion resistant. Obviously not as good as stainless steel, but it will be solid rust-resistance.

  • Recommended Boat Tie-Down Straps for 2,000 lb Trailer and 8,700 lb Boat
    When choosing tie-downs for your 8,700 lb boat and 2,000 lb trailer, the most important thing is to get tie-downs that have a break strength which exceeds the 2,000 lb weight of your trailer. Doing so will keep your boat on your trailer when you run over the inevitable potholes when driving to your fishing destination. I recommend checking out the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Strap # IMF14220, Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893 or # IMF14208 and Gunwale Tie-Down Straps...

  • Tie Down Straps Needed To Secure 10,300LB Boat To Triple Axle Trailer When Hauling
    To ensure that you have enough straps for your boat when loaded on your boat trailer you will need to know the weight of both the boat and trailer. Since you are only trying to hold the boat and trailer together you need to ensure that the break strength rating for all of your straps will hold them together. The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Bow Tie # IMF14393 has a break strength of 2,500lbs. Pair this with the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratchet Transom Tie-Downs # IMF14256 and...

  • What Bow and Transom Straps do You Recommend for My 7,000 Pound Boat?
    The purpose of boat tie-downs is to secure the lightest object to the heaviest object. For example, if your boat weighs 7,000 pounds and your trailer weighs 2,000 pounds, you want to choose a strap that has a break strength that exceeds the weight of the trailer. With that being said, the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down Straps - 38" Long # IMF14221 has a break strength of 2,500 pounds. These straps are frequently used as bow tie-downs and the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable,...

  • Recommended Tie Down Straps For A Chaparral 220 On A Road King Aluminum Boat Trailer
    To find the correct tie-down straps you'll need to know the dry weight of the trailer and choose one with a break-strength than the trailer weighs. The thought process is reversed for this and you're essentially trying to strap the trailer to boat, which is typically going to weigh more than the trailer. With the boat being around 3,650lbs dry I'm assuming your trailer probably falls around 2,000lbs so you would need straps like the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down...

  • Transom Tie-Down Straps for Boat That Weighs 2,500 lbs
    For your 2,500 lb boat I recommend using BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893 which each have a break strength of 2,500 lbs and will work since they are not going to be handling the full load of your boat at all times. These are 2" wide x 43" long straps so be sure that's the correct length for your boat and trailer; for a longer length you can use the 6' BoatBuckle Transom Tie-Downs # IMF14208.

  • Will BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps # IMF14221 Fit a Carolina Skiff J16
    Based on the design of your Carolina Skiff the hook end of the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down Straps # IMF14221 would not be able to grab onto the sides of the boat (gunwale). But if there is somewhere else they can attach then you can still use them. In your picture it looking like there are brackets attached to the sides that hold a pole of some kind that you could potentially use.

    The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down Straps # IMF14221 are designed to fit 2 inch wide or less gunwales. If the rubber protective strip on yours can compress enough that the gunwales are less than 2 inches in width these would work. Otherwise they would be too small.
