BoatBuckle Accessories and Parts - IMF14254

Features:

Angled brackets help you mount BoatBuckle G2 tie-downs
Provides a 45-degree angle to make ratchets easier to access and use
- Helps angle ratchets around objects on the trailer that could cause interference
Bolts to your trailer's mounting tabs and onto BoatBuckle retractor - mounting hardware included

Specs:

Maximum load (break strength): 5,000 lbs each
Mounting hardware dimensions: 3/8" diameter x 1-3/4" long
Mounting holes measure 1/2" diameter
Safe working load limit (WLL): 1,666 lbs
Quantity: 2 mounting brackets
1-Year limited warranty

These angled brackets help you to position your BoatBuckle G2 tie-downs around other items on your trailer and position the tie-downs off of your trailer's frame, making the ratchets easier to access and use.

Note: Tie-downs should always be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). The item being tied down must not exceed the combined WLL of the straps being used. For example, if you are using tie-downs with a WLL of 1,500 pounds each to tie down a load weighing 3,000 pounds, then you need at least 2 tie-downs to safely secure the load. To determine the maximum load, or break strength, of the tie-down, simply multiply the WLL by 3. The WLL is always one-third (1/3) of the maximum load.

I purchased the Boat Buckle transom tie-downs for my fishing boat and I did not like the angle that they were going to be at, the strap was going to rub against the bottom edge of my boat, so I drove 120 miles to get some tubing that was the exact size to weld on to my trailer to extend it, then I decided to try these brackets. I put them on last night and I could not be happier with the way that they worked out. Saved me a lot of work extending my trailer tubing.

Still fine, no problems. Working great !!

Install was super easy! Construction of bracket looks very sturdy! Finish on bracket is well done too. Attached my retractable boat buckle with ease. Took 20 minutes for both sides. Bolts that came with bracket are great too. I added one more washer to make even more sturdy. Can't take boat out yet but will be interested to see how it holds up going down the road.

Install was easy. I have a small fishing boat and an EZ boat trailer. Installed with no problem. Used my boat and trailer all summer and most trips were about 1.5 hrs one way. No issues with buckles. So much easier than the strap I used for years. Quick, easy, locks tight and no messing around with the strap since I usually fish by myself. Super happy with my purchase.

I got exactly what I ordered in a timely manner and I’m 100% satisfied with my boat buckle retractable tie downs & brackets . They work great

The boat ratchet tie downs are an excellent purchase. Easy to use, fast and secure.

These worked good on my shorelander boat trailer but they did cover up some of the the taillight. You be the judge.

Fit perfect with my Shorelander trailer and ratchet tie down strap. It also kept the strap straight when tied down.

The boatbuckles are absolutely fantastic. They were easy to install with two wrenches. Work easily and hold down nicely. The mounting brackets allowed me to position the boatbuckles in the exact location for easy hand access to the buckle. My only concerns are the metal parts in the buckles. Will they rust over time? The only maintenance suggested is water but nothing about oil. Salt water may be a problem but don't know. Time will tell. For now I REALLY like them.

Still doing the job they were built to do and doing it well:

by: Chad Williams 05/28/2014

The product was just as advertised. Worked perfectly on my Bass Tracker trailer.

The greatest thing about dealing with eTrailer was that their price was less than half of some of the big box stores like BassPro, Cabellas, and Amazon.

Fast shipping and an outright good online shopping experience.

After a year, it is still working perfectly. It is reliable and super easy to use.

by: TWZ 06/26/2015

These were needed for my Boat Buckle install. They allowed for tail light clearance and a better pull down angle on the boats transom. These were used on a Shorelander boat trailer. I think they could be heavier duty since they do hold the boat to the trailer.

They were needed to align the transom eyes on my shorelandr trailer. Great system. Quick hook-ups less mosquitos. Thank you.

Very satisfied with these parts on my RangerTrail trailer. The BoatBuckles are OEM on RangerTrail trailers, so I new they would be great. What I didnt know, was how great the service would be from etrailer.com.Thanks!

Bracket is a bit flimsy and flexes when under tension. Not a big problem, but not the same result when mounting to the rigid trailer. A simple gusset would solve this issue.

Still working the same. Living with the flex.

by: Captain Dan 05/16/2014

Well engineered - Good quality - Good price - Fast, reasonable shipping. No bad surprises-Quick installation! I'm happy!

I did run a tap through the 7/16" nut before installation because of a previous warning from other buyers about the threads being too tight.
Worked perfect! I couldn't find 7/16" stainless steel lock washers @ Lowes. They don't have any 7/16" stainless items.

by: Matt D. 09/06/2013

Worked great!!! I used these brackets for a seadoo boat trailer that had awkward angled transom mount points. The brackets enable me to use a mounted retractable transom tie down. I would recomend this product it was a cheap but high quality product shipping and communication was also excellent!!!

by: Tim L. 03/31/2019 One Year Later

these brackets gave me the added length I needed to mount my boat buckle tie downs to my trailer. easy to install.

by: Tim 12/20/2018

Product came from Etrailer in a timely manner. I was able to easily install the brackets on my boat trailer and then install the retractable Boat Buckles. My only complaint was one of the nuts was Extremely difficult to screw on to the bolt. Initially I thought the nut was made this way so it would fit tight but it was most likely
a defective nut from the manufacturer. I would definitely order further products from Etrailer.

by: Kropac1 07/11/2013

Mounting this on a vertical tie down tab on my trailer causes the Boat Buckle to swivel up and out of alignment. It can not be tightened enough to keep from twisting. Trying to make a universal bracket does not work in this case. A long leg on the 90 degree side would ride on the trailer channel and eliminate the twisting.

by: Greg Compton 04/13/2016

Gang if your tired pullin and adjusting straps for the transom tie downs this is the best Product I have ever seen or used 100% thumbs . Simply put Etrailer.com are the best

P.S = went on a 1994 Stratos 201 xl pro with 200 Johnson Venom.

Works as expected. Good product for mounting trailer tie downs on my aluminum trailer.

by: Walt 02/15/2017

This product is much more substantial and rugged than I expected.

The customer service provided by Jennifer C at etrailer was without a doubt the best customer service I have received at any company, including my own!

Great communications, fast ground shipping, and follow up.
Do not hesitate to purchase from etrailer.

by: Dave S. 05/11/2017

I'm in agreement with the people that said "after installing this product...you can't winch your transom down tight without this slipping out of place!"
I addressed it by putting a "tooth ring" style lock washer in between this product and the trailer! That kept it from slipping, but ya still really have to tighten it a lot!

by: Richard 08/07/2022

These brackets worked great on my sons jet ski trailer, I got him two to go with his Boattbuckle G2 Retractable tie-downs. They fit great and did the trick. Very good product.

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...

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.

Installation of BoatBuckle G2 Ratcheting Tie-Downs on Shoreland'r Trailer for Lund Angler SS
You can still install the tie-downs, but since the installation hardware used for the BoatBuckle G2 Tie-Downs # IMF14220 is 3/8 inch in diameter, the 1 inch transom strap holes on your trailer will be too large to install these tie-downs. The best solution to installing the # IMF14220 is to drill a new hole to match the size of the BoatBuckle installation hardware. I have attached the installation instructions for the BoatBuckle G2 tie-downs for you. The # IMF14220 has a safe working...

I am not aware of an adapter that will allow you to use the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Strap # IMF14220 with your 1" holes. I know you mentioned that you do not have room to drill another hole "there", but the straps do not have to be placed exactly in that spot. If you have room in the general area, you can use the Mounting Brackets for BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps # IMF14254 to help make an alternate mounting location work.

What Grade Bolts Comes with Boat Buckle Mounting Bracket part # IMF14254
The Boat Buckle Mounting Bracket part # IMF14254 comes with Grade 5 hardware. You certainly could go to Grade 8 if you wanted to but as long as you are using these brackets like they were intended it would not be needed. Fun fact...to determine the Grade of a bolt all you have to do is count the lines on top of the bolt head and then add 2.

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...

Mounting Brackets For BoatBuckle Tie Downs That Bent From Boat Hull On Trailer
For the BoatBuckle Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893 themselves you will want to check the mount tab for any cracks that may have occurred. If you have cracks in the steel you will want to replace the entire assembly. We do have the Mounting Bracket # IMF14254 which may allow you to position the straps away from the area where your boat hull can contact it while loading. Otherwise please send me some images of your boat and trailer and I can give you other alternatives.

Recommended BoatBuckle Ratcheting Straps to Hold a 2012 Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW
The BoatBuckle Ratcheting Straps that I recommend for your application is the G2 Retractable Transom Tie-Downs # IMF08893. Their Safe Working Load Limit is 833 lbs for each one, which will be more than enough to secure your 2012 Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW since the tie downs are use to keep your stationary boat from moving; not to stop a moving load. Their Maximum Load Strength (or Break Strength) is 2,500 lbs each. From the picture that you sent (which is always appreciated), it looks...

Tie-Down Straps for 900 lb Boat Trailer
In order to choose tie-down straps, you are going to need tie-downs with a break strength that exceeds the weight of the lightest object, so you will want to use straps with a break strength that exceed the weight of your trailer. So I recommend the following straps: - BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Strap # IMF14220 This strap has a 2,500 lb break strength, and you'll use it in combination with gunwale and transom straps. - BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down...

It does not carry a specific salt spray rating, however. Like any boat or other marine equipment placed in salt water it should be fully rinsed with fresh water after each use.
