Question:
I need a new coupler for my trailer and need help with that. It has a PN 82543. Also, the My question about the straps is regarding the angle from where they mount on the trailer vs where they hook on the boat. All of your videos shows them going straight up. Mine go way back from where the trailer ends to where the boat ends. I would also like to know if there is an alternative to the books as you can see the hooks rub on the fiberglass of my boat currently.

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 have attached review videos for you as well.
