BoatBuckle Boat Tie Downs - IMF12811

  • Bow Strap
  • 0 - 5 Feet Long
  • Manual
  • 351 - 500 lbs
  • 0 - 1 Inch Wide
  • 4 Straps
  • S-Hooks and Loops
  • BoatBuckle

Secure your boat's bow to your trailer with this heavy-duty, first-generation BoatBuckle tie-down strap. It is simple to hook up and gives you peace of mind during transport. 1,200 lbs Max load.


Features:

  • Heavy-duty tie-down straps firmly secure your boat's bow to your trailer
  • Seat-belt-quality polyester strap with zinc-coated steel hook
  • Zinc-coated steel buckle adjusts strap length


Specs:

  • Strap dimensions: 1" wide x 3' long
  • Maximum load strength (break strength): 1,200 lbs
  • Safe working load limit (WLL): 400 lbs
  • Quantity: 1 bow strap
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Loop the hook end of the strap around your trailer's frame and through the loop end. Once your boat is loaded, attach the hook to the tie-down anchor on the bow of your boat. Pull the other loop end of the strap to remove any slack and turn the buckle down to tighten the strap.


Note: A bow tie-down should always be used along with a winch strap and a set of transom or gunwale tie-downs. All straps and cables should be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). To determine the maximum load, or break strength, of the strap, simply multiply the WLL by 3. The WLL is always one-third (1/3) of the maximum load.

This strap is great for holding down the bow of your boat while trailering. Sometimes the winch loosens up and the bow rises up and down. This strap prevents that and gives piece of mind.

The strap is still working fine. Just finished a 700 mile trip towing my boat and the strap gives me piece of mind. Great product.

by:
Does what it's supposed to do, but it is "almost" too long for my boat. There is barely enough room to "latch" it between the boat eyelet and the trailer structure. This requires a moderately tall wench stand. It is easy to install and use.

Other than being a bit long, it has worked well.

This boat buckle strap works quite well as a safety for the front of my boat on the trailer.

All working well, thanks.

by:
1 year later and still working great. On the boat while its on the trailer. Strap is a little stiff in the buckle but that's expected. Not an issue.
Stored by the harbor, saltwater and no corrosion on the metal.
by:
My order arrived earlier than promised. And in excellent condition. All the parts worked perfectly on my Catalina 22 boat trailer modifications. I'll definitely be back when I need more parts.

  • How Much Clearance is Needed to Tighten the BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap?
    Welcome back Billy. Not sure how much clearance you have on your 2016 Tracker 195TXW but the BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap with Loop End item # IMF12811 requires 2"-3" around the quick-locking buckle to tighten it down. How much clearance do you have? You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

  • Difference Between BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap IMF12811 and IMF18741
    Hello again Stephen! The difference between the # IMF18741 and # IMF12811 is the S-hook. The # IMF18741 has vinyl coating on the hook to protect your boat while the other does not have this coating. I'm guessing you figured that out since I see you already went with the # IMF18741. Let me know if you need anything else.

  • 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...

  • Availability of Loop Strap with Eye Hook
    It sounds like you are looking for a strap like the BoatBuckle Bow Tie-Down Strap with Loop End # IMF18741 or # IMF12811. I have linked both above mentioned products to this page for your convenience.

  • Recommended Fulton Boat Trailer Winch and Bow Tie-Down Strap for Safe Transport
    The Fulton F2 Fully Enclosed Trailer Winch with Strap and Adjustable Handle - 1,600 lbs # FW16000101 does not come with the separate safety strap. As you can see in the attached video, the secondary chain in that case is present for that reason, but the winch does not come with that strap or chain. I recommend the BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap with Loop End - 1" x 3' - 400 lbs # IMF12811 for that application. You may be interested in the BoatBuckle Pro Series Kwik-Lok Transom...

  • Transom Strap Recommendation for boat that weighs 2,410 lbs
    Transom straps are not designed to bear the entire weight of your boat as they are designed to be used with a bow tie-down and a winch strap. So the part # IMF12811 that you referenced should work well for you as it has a 1,200 lb max capacity.
