BoatBuckle G2 Transom Boat Tie Down Straps to Trailer 2x43-Inch, 2500lbs Break Strength, Bolt On Retractable Ratchet Straps Heavy Duty, 2-Pack

These BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Transom Tie-Downs are a total game changer. I’ve tried a bunch of tie-downs over the years, and nothing comes close to how easy, clean, and secure these feel. The retractable design means no more tangled mess or loose straps flying around—just click, tighten, and done. Super smooth every time! 🎯The stainless steel build is solid and made to last, even in saltwater conditions. I’ve used these on several trips already and they’re still holding strong, no rust, no issues. Plus, they look sleek and professional mounted on the trailer—no more ugly old straps. 😎🛠️Installation took just minutes, and I honestly wish I had picked these up sooner. If you care about your boat and don’t want to deal with strap headaches ever again, these are it. Trust me—buy once, cry never. 💪🚀

Easy to install and works great

These replaced the tie downs that came with my boat. They work so much better and make things more secure. They are extremely easy to use, look great, and hold the boat down better. They are also easy to install.

Simple to install and use. Way better than the old straps. Keeps the boat in place.

I would recommend this product to anybody that has a boat. Easy,fast and very legit.

If you're in the market, these are the ones you want. Much better than the cheap straps that came on the trailer. I'm unsure how these will do season after season, but my first impression after a couple launches is quite positive. The mounting hardware (two bolts, two nuts) were not the same size, so all the hardware got tossed and replaced with stainless hardware locally purchased. Go with stainless locking nuts as well. The instructions suggest using a single mounting bolt, but the pattern on the strap assembly is set to accommodate two bolts. I went with two bolts on each side. I had to grind flat spots in the washers because they're spaced pretty closely together, but it's quite secure this way. They release well and easily while under pressure, the gaps between cogs aren't too far apart so you can get it in that sweet spot of tight, but not too tight. My trailer came with the el cheapo version of the same concept, and the recoiler mechanism broke and wouldn't release the first time I tried to launch. These were built for a much heavier duty purpose, so they feel like they'll last a decade. If you're going to attempt to do the two bolts per, you could repeat my process. I pressed (you could tape) a piece of paper to the mounting plate and lightly pressed on the depressions made by the bolt holes with a pencil which gave me the correct spacing. Measure center to center to be certain, but this gives you something to drill through for the mounting process.Also, if you drill with a bit 1 size too small, then enlarge the hole with the correct size, it will nearly always clean off the burrs on the backside where you would otherwise slice your fingers while trying to afix hardware. The instructions specify that you should have a minimum of 12 inches of strap. There's no obvious reason for this specification. I tried ratcheting until the hook reached the housing, and it seemed to work just fine.Congrats on finding your new transom tie downs. These will speed up your launch and leave times by ten minutes or more. I took off a star, but only because the mounting hardware was plain wrong. (Bolt was correct size, but the nut didn't fit the bolt. Shredded threads when I tightened for giggles)

Works great. No complaints here.

These BOAT BUCKLES ARE GAME CHANGERS!I have been messing around with worn-down traditional ratchet traps and having to tie the loose ends. These are so simple to install and use. I also bought the mounting brackets to make them fit perfectly on my trailer.Highly Recommend!
