Question:
The distance between the mounting hole on trailer and stern eye is approx. 17". Will this product work? It will replace quik-lok straps. Weight is not a problem.

Yes, the 6' BoatBuckle Mini G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Downs # IMF106877 will work with your boat trailer with 17" from the mounting hole to the stern eye on your trailer. The strap will have a minimum distance of approximately 8" .
I would recommend going with the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Tie-Down # IMF14393 as it is constructed of stainless steel. Since this will be bolted to your stern and constantly submerged in water it will hold up better over time. The strap is going to be more manageable at only 43" long.
Be sure to use Loctite Anti-Seize # LT37616 on the hardware to ensure that the bolt installs correctly and can be removed later down the road rather than having to be cut off.
