Question:

I purchased the 43” bass pro retractable tie down straps 2”for my 175 bass tracker boat with the 60 hp engine.I tried to install them but they will not fit. I will need to refill the tail light holes or find an adapter kit to slide the ratchet itself over. Is there an adapter kite for this problem?

Expert Reply:

The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratchet Transom Tie-Downs part # IMF14256 can be installed in a number of different ways whether it's with a pre-installed bracket from the factory, drilling a hole into the frame yourself, or using universal brackets like the Mounting Brackets for BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps part # IMF14254.

Unfortunately, they don't offer trailer specific brackets for these tie-down straps so if you're having issue you can either modify the brackets you have now, use the universal brackets, or change the location.
