BoatBuckle G2 Stainless Retractable Bow Tie-Down

The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Bow Tie-Down is a single stainless steel strap adjusting from 2 to 43 inches, with a 1,500 lb break strength and a 500 lb safe working load.

A bow tie-down is the safety strap that matters most. The winch strap holds the boat forward, but nothing stops the bow lifting under braking except a separate tie-down to the trailer frame. It is sold singly rather than in a pair because a bow needs one and a transom needs two.

Stainless steel construction is what a bow fitting needs, since it sits at the front of the trailer where road spray and salt hit hardest. The retractable housing takes up the slack automatically rather than leaving loose webbing to flap and chafe against the hull. Explore more trailer tie-downs.
