Question:

Hello I have a Shorelandr trailer. I would like to add boat buckles to it. The attach hole size is 1 The Bolts for the boat buckle are 3/8ths. I have no room to drill another hole there. I can attach an image if that would help? Is there a bracket/adapter that can work with this scenario? Im hoping this has been asked before? Common trailer. Thanks

I am not aware of an adapter that will allow you to use the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Strap # IMF14220 with your 1" holes.

I know you mentioned that you do not have room to drill another hole "there", but the straps do not have to be placed exactly in that spot.

If you have room in the general area, you can use the Mounting Brackets for BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps # IMF14254 to help make an alternate mounting location work. The brackets will give you some extra flexibility to switch up the depth or angle that you can mount the straps at.
