BoatBuckle Retractable Transom Tie Down System

Featured Replies

Thinking of getting a pair for my Ranger trailer.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

I use them on mine and like them but I also have eyebolts under my inner bunks  to hook the ends in after disconnecting them from the boat.  Mine didn't always want to fully retract so using the eyebolts keeps them from hanging, since I don't always fasten my boat down.  It's only a couple of miles to the ramp so the only time I fasten it down is when I'm going elsewhere.

A buddy of mine has them on his '03 Champion and one always works, one hangs up.  I decided not to put them on my boat after seeing that.  Pretty neat when they work, pretty frustrating/time consuming when they don't.

I'm not sure of the brand I have but being retractable is very nice. You never need to worry about where you put them. Best of all it saves you from having the buckle close on your fingers. That's why I love mine.
