- 0 - 5 Feet Long
- Manual
- 351 - 500 lbs
- 0 - 1 Inch Wide

- BoatBuckle
The Pro Series system combines everything you need in a bow tie-down strap - strength, security and safety. This heavy-duty strap secures your boat's bow to your trailer and gives you peace of mind during transport. 1,200 lbs Max load.
Features:
- Heavy-duty tie-down strap firmly secures your boat's bow to your trailer
- Hook at one end of strap attaches to boat's bow
- Soft loop on the other end loops around trailer's frame
- Seat-belt-quality polyester strap with SUR-Grip rubber-coated Kwik-Lok buckle is easy to grip and control with one hand
- Vinyl-coated steel S-hook helps to protect your boat's paint finish
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 Kwik-Lok 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.

I always use these to tie the bow on to the trailer. I just don't trust the winch strap as they seem to come a little loose after you have driven down the road a little way. This strap always keeps the bow snugged up tight against the bow stop on the trailer. Very cheap and good insurance against your boat and trailer parting company on the road!

The BoatBuckle Pro Series Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap was easy to install. I connected it to my boat bow and trailer. It really stabilized the bow to the trailer tongue. I tow my boat to several ramps and it’s good to know that the boat is secured for towing. My bow on the boat tended to pounce a little and installing the BoatBuckle Pro Series Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap secure it.

I am using this on a 2014 Phoenix 618 boat. My trailer has a large bow step on the front that challenged me at first to find a way to mount. I lucked out and found I can take both straps directly to the center Ibeam of the trailer. Doing this I can perfectly fit this and just perfectly close the latch. Like it was built for my boat.
4 stars simply because it was not obvious to me how the device is to be used if you need to take up slack line. May be a user issue.

Plenty of length and strength. Sturdy mechanism. Higher quality strap than the original equipment which came with the trailer & boat.

Got this to supplement the front winch strap. I believe it helps hold the front end down better along with the winch. Straps on easily once you remember which way it wraps around itself.

Good bow tie-down strap that is simple to use and does the job it supposed to do -- keeping the boat bow tied securely to the trailer.

Very quick shipping and was the one of the only sites that had it in stock. The Kwik-Loc buckle gets the strap very tight and is easily released.

Easy to use strap adds security to bow. Over center cam buckle tightens strap. Loop on strap secures to trailer where ever is best.

No matter what I do, it does not get tight enough that I feel it's safe to tow my boat with.

This strap should definitely be tight for you. Was the other strap that was ordered also loose? I can send over the warranty instructions for it.

- Difference Between BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap IMF12811 and IMF18741Hello 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.

- Bow Buckle Installation QuestionI would just check to make sure at the start of installing the BoatBuckle Pro Series Kwik-Lok Bow Tie-Down Strap # IMF18741 that you have ran the looped end of your strap from behind the buckle under the boat frame. Once that looped end is brought up, wrapping around the frame, bring the hook through the looped end and attach to your boat anchor loop.
