Updated 09/16/2014 | Published 09/15/2014 >
Question:
These indicate 2500 lbs each. Can I use them for my 5000lb?

Expert Reply:
The maximum break strength for each of the straps included with BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Downs # IMF08893 is 2,500 pounds. So together that would be 5,000 pounds. The safe working load limit though is 833 pounds each. These are currently the highest rated transom tie downs that we carry.
Transom tie-downs should always be used along with a winch strap and a pair of gunwale tie-downs. Adding in those you should be fine provided that the combined safe working load limit exceeds the weight of the boat.
