- Gunwale Strap
- 11 - 20 Feet Long
- Manual
- 351 - 500 lbs
- 1-1/8 - 2 Inch Wide
- Snap Hooks
- BoatBuckle
This gunwale strap offers strength, security and convenience. It secures one of your boat's gunwales to your trailer, stores extra strap length during transportation, and makes the trailer more visible at night. 1,200 lbs Max load.
Features:
- Heavy-duty tie-down strap firmly secures your boat's gunwale to your trailer
- SUR-Grip rubber-coated Kwik-Lok buckle is easy to grip and control with one hand
- Seat-belt-quality polyester webbing
- Hi-Vis protective PVC pad under the buckle and vinyl-coated steel S-hooks protect your boat's paint finish
- Built-in keepers prevents S-hooks from disconnecting
- Night Eyes closure patch on buckle reflects light, adding to your safety at night
- Built-in closure stores extra strap
Specs:
- Strap dimensions: 2" wide x 20' long
- Maximum load strength (break strength): 1,200 lbs
- Safe working load limit (WLL): 400 lbs
- Quantity: 1 gunwale strap
- 1-Year limited warranty
Load your boat onto your trailer, open the buckle, connect the bottom S-hook of the Pro Series strap to the side of your trailer's frame, then connect the top S-hook to an anchor point on the gunwale of the boat. Pull the end of the strap through its buckle and turn the buckle down to tighten the strap. Secure the opposite gunwale with another strap (sold separately).
Note: Gunwale tie-downs should always be used along with a winch strap and a set of transom (stern) or bow 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 works perfectly to secure the transom of our sailboat to the trailer. The hooks stay in place so that one person can attach the strap without issue. As always eTrailer is quick to deliver and has a good assortment of products.

Works very good for my application and stern design. I have added a short length of chain to my trailer to facilitate using these straps. Easy on easy off and secure.

This strap was a perfect length with good hook mechanism that fit just behind the trailer wheels to secure my 14' Princecraft. The key point is that the buckle is positioned between the gunwales making is readily accessible for tightening, securing the buckle and visible from the vehicle.

Great product,fast delivery.Fits my 1448 Jon Boat just right.I like the retaining clips in the hooks, keeps the hook from falling out while you walk to the other side of the boat before tightening.Very pleased.

This strap worked awesome! It was purchased to prepare for a Canada trip. I thought I could use the old one I was using as a second strap, but that one loosened up on the dirt road. Glad I bought this one. It stayed tight as can be. Easy to lock, and having the Velcro straps helped keep the excess in place was a bonus. And the clips on the hooks helped keeping the strap in place to get it easily secured. As a example of the logging road used, I had to drive into town for a spark plug. A 2 hour round trip drive into the nearest town without the trailer, and I could only max out at 45 mph from all of the pot holes. From the picture, my boat is 63 inches wide.

This has a very positive lock, capable of putting significant pressure on the strap on the "close/lock" stroke. Very impressive. My old strap would eventually loosen up on rough roads, so I'm hoping this one will hold steady. It certainly appears that it will, but I'll have to wait to test it over the road.
Also love the velcro strap to hold the "leftover" strap material after tightening; used to be, I'd tuck it down under the live well cover-- now I don't have to.
Was very glad to be able to modify my old Fulton T600 winch to accommodate the strap. This will definitely be a better system, and the new rubber Y-stop is a great help, too. The old one was hard as a brick.

Your product it GREAT but I no longer have the boat and trailer, sold it about 2 month ago due to my health problems. Thanks for checking up thats very nice for you to do that.

This is a very high quality product. If you are looking for a tough secure strap to go over the top of your jon boat gunnels, this is a great choice. I could not find anything like this from my local marine dealers, only transom tie downs. Service from etrailer is well above the norm and I received personal emails keeping me informed on the status of my order.

This tie down system is well made and works well with the optional pads. The clips on each hook ensure that they do not unhook from the trailer. That was a feature that I had on my previous tie down system and an option that I wasn't going to do without this time around. The tie down secures the boat easily and the extra strapping is easily and conveniently stored within a Velcro strap. A nice touch. I just installed the tie down and haven't had a chance to use it for any length of time, but it am expecting it to last for quite some time as it is quite well made.

Recently gave my boat trailer a facelift paint and all new parts. Replaced the gunwale Boat Buckle the one I had was looking it’s age still worked. But since everything on the trailer was new . I replaced it going to use it on another trailer for extra tie down. I would highly recommend the boat buckle tie down

Very satisfied with my BoatBuckle tie down strap. Finally a tie-down strap that is easy to use and fastens securely. After removing the strap from the plastic holder that it was shipped in, I had a little trouble threading the strap back through the buckle, but I found a video on Etrailer that helped alot. Thanks, great product.

I always hesitate to go all Stars on anything but this one is close. Excellent product in terms of design and it works great. Have used a lot of these over the years and I'd say these are the best I've found.
One thing worth noting, I am a fishing guide and this item sees daily use in all types of conditions.
Only improvement I could see is eliminating the rubber coated hooks and going straight galvanized. The rubber looks great and lasted on my almost exactly a year before it were off which is pretty impressive. A bit of rust on them, but of course traveling here in our mtns in the winter any metal stuff takes a beating from road salt even if if keep everything clean.
Great product though and will likely continue to buy them

Jeff, Thank you for your review. I appreciate your information about the rubber coating on the hooks, they are rubber coated so they do not scratch your boat or trailer. We do have stainless steel hooks available that are also 2x10. Part # IMF12069 handles 333 lbs compared to the 400 lb straps you already have. I hope this helps.

- Recommended Tie-Down Strap For 16-Ft Clackacraft Forward Weight Drift BoatFrom my research I found that the width of a 16-ft Clackacraft weight forward drift boat is 83-inches wide and the height of the sides is 23-inches. To make sure you have enough strap to reach the trailer frame on each side of the boat I recommend a strap like part # IMF17637. This is a 2-inch x 20-ft strap and it has a 400-lb capacity. The strap has vinyl-coated S-hooks and a Kwik-Lok buckle to hold the strap secure. If you want to use a shorter strap I recommend part # IMF17636. This...

After a year, the strap has continued to hold up well. It holds our boat in place without releasing any pressure. It was a great purchase.
