BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Gunwale Tie-Down Pair

The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Gunwale Tie-Down is a pair of straps adjusting from 2 to 38 inches, with a 2,500 lb break strength and an 833 lb safe working load.

A gunwale tie-down goes over the hull rather than to the transom, holding the boat down onto the bunks along its length instead of only at the stern. That matters on a long trailer run, where a hull secured only at the transom can lift and shift at the bow over bumps.

At 2,500 lb break strength these are considerably stronger than the transom version, which is what the longer lever arm over a hull requires. Retractable housings wind the excess strap back in rather than leaving it flapping at highway speed, which is how straps get damaged and hulls get marked. Explore more trailer tie-downs.
