Features to know about

Effortless Boat Securement: Self-Retracting Ratchet Technology

Say goodbye to the hassle of loose, tangled straps every time you load and unload your boat. The BoatBuckle G2's self-retracting ratchet design ensures quick and easy securement. Just pull out the hook, attach it, and the strap retracts automatically with minimal ratcheting effort. Whether you're alone or in a rush, these straps make securing your boat a breeze.

Optimal Protection for Your Boat: Vinyl-Coated Steel S-Hooks

Protect your boat's paint finish with confidence. The vinyl-coated S-hooks on the BoatBuckle G2 are designed to cradle your boat's hooks gently, avoiding scratches or damage to the surface. Now, you can enjoy the peace of mind that your boat is not just secured, but preserved.

Heavy-Duty Performance: 2,500 lbs Max Load

Don’t compromise on safety. With a maximum load strength of 2,500 pounds and a working load limit of 833 pounds, these heavy-duty straps ensure that your boat is safely tied down. Navigate the bends and bumps on your route knowing your ride is secure without overburdening standard tie-downs.

Quick Boat Launch and Retrieval: Permanent Mount Design

The BoatBuckle G2's permanent mount design makes it a game-changer for quick and efficient boat-launching. By staying attached to the trailer, there's no need to search for misplaced straps. Just unhook and go – making them perfect for frequent boaters looking to get in and out of the water in a flash.

Long-Lasting Durability: Corrosion-Resistant Steel Body

Navigate salty seas and fresh waters without worry. The corrosion-resistant steel body is built to last, offering you reliable performance season after season. Appreciate the robust construction that stands up to both the road and the elements.

Simple, Single-Handed Operation: Dual-Release Lever

Control the ratchet and release the strap single-handedly thanks to the dual-release lever and SUR-Grip rubber-coated handle. This ensures a secure yet comfortable grip, allowing for quick adjustments even with wet or gloved hands, enhancing both safety and convenience.

See what our Experts say about this BoatBuckle Boat Tie Downs

  • How To Choose the Correct Transom Tie-Down Length
    The BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Transom Tie-Down Straps part # IMF13110 are 24" long from the center of each connection so if that is how much space you have between the two tie-down points then they will work. However, a better option is the BoatBuckle G2 Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps part # IMF08893 which are 43" and also retractable so you don't have to worry about excess slack or not having enough strap. I have attached a list of all our transom tie-downs for you as well.

  • 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...

  • How To Choose the Correct BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Downs
    In order to secure your 1994 Regal Ventrua 6.8 with the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps you will need to use one tie down at the bow and two tie downs at the transom. For this you will need both part # IMF14220 and part # IMF08893. This will give you a break strength rating of 7,500 lbs (2,500 lbs per tie down) therefore will be sufficient. We also have the Mounting Brackets part # IMF14254 if the tie down points on the trailer are not where you need them to be. I...

  • Using Winch to Hold Boat in Place on Trailer During Travel
    The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14725 referenced in your question has a freewheel design that will not actually hold a load in the forward or reverse directions. To hold a load in place you will want to go with a brake winch. For a similarly rated modeI recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15721 that features a 2,500 pound weight capacity and an automatic braking mechanism that will lock a load in place. The elongated mounting holes on the plate will allow compatibility with...

    When choosing transom tie-downs you will want to choose a tie-down with a break strength that exceeds the weight of the lightest object. So in your instance, you will want a strap that exceeds the 2,500 lbs. that your trailer weighs. This is to ensure that the boat does not jump off of the trailer if you run over bumps or potholes. The highest rated transom straps that we have are the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893, but the break strength is 2,500...

  • Mounting Brackets for Boat Buckle Straps an Alternative Drilling Solution
    I have a solution to your concern. I recommend using mounting brackets that can be attached to your boat trailer without drilling into the tubing blindly. They can attach at any flat point or mounting surface on your trailer frame. Item # IMF14254 are designed specifically to go with the boat buckle straps item # IMF08893 that you have already purchased. I have attached a video.

  • Recommended Transom Tie-Downs For 4,500 Lb Boat
    I spoke with my contact at BoatBuckle about the weight capacity of their tie-down straps. They told me that the break strength is what they use when determining the best tie-downs for a boat to use. For your 4,500 lb boat I recommend the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Downs, part # IMF08893. These each have a break strength of 2,500 lbs so that gives you a total of 5,000 lbs. These are ratcheting straps that measure 2 inches wide by 43 inches long. These come with...

  • 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,...

  • BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Transom Tie Down Straps For a 3,000LB Wooden Boat
    If you are set on a G2 style transom strap the BoatBuckle Mini G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Downs # IMF106877 will be 6' in length. These are the only straps over 43" that BoatBuckle has in a transom strap. Each strap has a working load limit of 466lbs. Remember that since you are securing the boat to the trailer the working load is considered for the lightest object. So rather than considering holding a 3,000lb boat to the trailer, you will consider it as holding your trailer...

  • Transom Strap Recommendation for a 2,500 lb Boat
    You would want the Transom straps part # IMF08893 as it has a break strength of 2,500 lbs and a WLL of 833 lbs. Think of the breaking strength as the strength the strap has when in an emergency situation and the WLL as the amount of weight it can handle continuously. Since the strap wouldn't be supporting the full weight of your boat at all times the # IMF08893 would work well for yours that weighs 2,500 lbs.

  • Differences Between Boatbuckle Cargo Buckles # IMF08893 and # IMF14256
    The difference is the metal that the two straps are made of. The more expensive # IMF14256 is made of stainless steel which offers superior corrosion resistance whereas the part # IMF08893 is made of non-stainless steel and that is why it costs less.

  • Transom Tie Down Straps for 2020 Bass Tracker Superguide SC V16
    I have a solution for you, however, I actually measured one of these for you and I found that at its shortest, the BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF14206 would be around 18 inches long, which is a bit too long for what you need. The best solution for you and my recommendation is to go with the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893. Instead of using extra webbing with a hook, the G2 straps use a bolt to secure the ratchet body...

    I went out to the warehouse to measure BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Downs # IMF08893. The overall width at the widest point is 4-5/8 inches. The mounting hole is right in the center so from either edge to the center of the mounting hole it is 2-5/16 inches.

  • Recommended Rear Tie-Downs for 24 Foot Pontoon Boat
    To secure the stern of your 24 foot pontoon boat, I recommend the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Transom Tie-Downs # IMF08893. These heavy-duty ratchet straps are easy to hookup and will retract automatically. Their 2,500 pound maximum load (break strength) is more than enough for your 3,000 pound boat and 1,100 pound trailer. The straps themselves measure 43 inches long and 2 inches wide. Two transom straps are included. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you...

  • Recommended Retractable Transom Straps For a 7,000 - 7,800 lb. Boat
    When choosing transom tie-downs you will want to choose a tie-down with a break strength that exceeds the weight of the lightest object. So in your instance, you will want a strap that exceed the weight of your trailer because I am sure it weighs less than your 7,00-7,800 boat. The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893 have a break strength of 2,500 lbs which is the highest that we have in a retractable transom strap.

  • Why Does Stainless Steel BoatBuckle Tie-Downs Have Lower Break Strength Than Standard Steel Model
    I spoke with my contact at BoatBuckle regarding the difference in break strength between the G2 Ratchet Tie-Downs in Stainless Steel # IMF14256 and the Standard # IMF08893. He said the main reason the stainless steel model has a lower break strength of 500 pounds (compared to 833 pounds on the standard steel model) is that stainless steel is just a softer metal. This means that it's breaking point is going to come at a lower weight than a stronger standard steel design. The benefits...

  • Are Transom Straps Necessary on 16 Foot 1,200 Pound Boston Whaler Super Sport
    From what I have found, the general consensus is that at least 3 straps should be used for a boat with the weight and size of your Boston Whaler Super Sport. Since you already have a bow strap you will want to add transom straps. I recommend the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893.

  • Can The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Strap Be Mounted To The Underside Of A Trailer Frame?
    The only reason I would suggest not mounting the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893 on the bottom/underside of a trailer is due to it being more exposed to road debris. If you are not worried about that though, then you are perfectly fine doing so. These do have a pretty robust housing for protection, but I do suggest making sure they are nice and clean before storing the trailer to make sure they don't have any gunk that could build up and inhibit...

    I looked up your BassTracker Model Pro Team 170 boat and Trailstar trailer and it looks like a very standard boat and trailer so the BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF14208 that you referenced would work great. I like the ones that mount to the trailer though and retract so that you don't have to worry about misplacing them. For that the part # IMF08893 would be a really great option.
