Best Boat Trailer Tie-Downs of 2025

"I found this item to be extremely helpful for securing my boat at the dock. No more guesswork on how tight to make the straps. Just press the button and pull to tighten. It’s also easy to mount, though I recommend ordering extra parts for tricky installations."

"I bought these for my 2024 Tracker Pro 170, but had to get a universal adapter kit for an extra $20 due to the angle of the strap holes. The buckles themselves are fantastic and make securing the boat much easier."

"These transom tie downs are perfect for my 22' bay boat. They are easy to install and work well in saltwater conditions. I’ve had great results with Boat Buckle products in general."

"These transom tie downs are sturdy, and the locking mechanism is solid. The velcro holds the tag ends well. It’s a great value for the money!"

"I found that the new straps worked perfectly for my needs. The storage bag is a bonus, as it covers my depth finder."

"I've always relied on Rhino for my straps. These are the best quality I've used, and they are super easy to put on and take off. Perfect for my sea doo trailer!"

"I ordered two of these—one for my boat and another for my jet ski. They hold everything tight while being easy to remove. The quality of the strap and buckle is impressive. I'm planning to order two more sets soon for my other boat and as a gift for my brother's first boat. You really can't beat this price for the convenience and security it provides. Plus, they work well for different lengths of boats and jet skis."

"Initially, I relied on ratchet-style straps, which broke on me again. I decided to give these a try, despite my skepticism. I must say, these are incredible! The quality is top-notch, and when I flip the latch to secure them, they really get tight. I use these for my 24ft pontoon, and after a 10-hour highway trip, they are still holding strong—definitely better than the ratchet style."

"I was unsure about these transom straps, but they have already exceeded my expectations. The quality is great, and they are very straightforward to use—no complicated ratchets involved. The Velcro cover at the ratchet not only keeps it secure but also tidies up any loose strap, making it very neat and secure."

"I was initially skeptical about these straps, but they tighten very well and keep my boat secure without any complaints."

"These straps worked perfectly for my boat on the trailer. Just what I wanted!"

"I replaced my old weathered straps with these. They are sturdy and protective, especially with the rubber pad and velcro strap for excess."

"I find these straps work great and are very secure. They easily hold my Lund tight to the trailer."

"I've used these on two boats now, and they are basic yet solid. They are simple to use and do the job well."

"I love these straps! They are designed to prevent scratches on my boat, and they tighten easily. The material feels durable and they are very user-friendly."

"I find these straps to be incredibly strong and reliable. They hold my e-bike securely in place, and with a 2400 lbs rating, I feel confident using them for other gear too!"

"Using these straps has been a breeze. They are easy to put on and take off, making the process of connecting my boat to the trailer so much quicker!"

"I'm really pleased with these straps. The bright orange color adds safety, and the length is just right for securing my boat to the trailer. Plus, the ratchet and hooks won't scratch my equipment!"

"I purchased these tie downs because of their wider webbing. The quality is impressive, and I appreciate the spring bale catches on the hooks."

"These were exactly what I needed for my new boat. Unlike my previous straps that loosened while driving, these tighten securely and the S hooks have a spring clip to prevent falling off. I'm very happy with my choice!"

"I find these ratchet straps to be a great alternative to the lever compression straps usually included with boats. The bags protect the boat, but I was a bit let down by the cheap velvety material used. I would gladly pay extra for something more durable. Overall, the straps are excellent, but I'm unsure how long the bags will last."

"I put off buying these for many years, thinking the old style was sufficient. After my sons gifted me a set for my birthday, I quickly realized I should have made the switch long ago. They don't scratch my boat and are super easy to use. I have no complaints."

"The original bow tiedown broke, so I needed a replacement. This one is better quality and provides more holding power. It works great!"

"Last two were stolen from my trailer at the launch ramp, so I needed a perfect replacement. These are 20 years old and worked perfectly. Yes, people suck."

"I was impressed by the heavy box these arrived in. My old transom tie-downs were a hassle, but these let me crank them down securely. Just remember, they must be bolted on, so have a plan before purchasing!"

"So far, I've found these very sturdy for tying down my motorcycle on the trailer. Although I wish they were a bit longer for more flexibility, they seem to work well. The return spring could be stronger, but overall, I'm satisfied, and I hope they last!"

"I initially bought these for my roof racks but was surprised by their size. They come with heavy-duty mounting hardware, which is overkill for my purpose. While a lot of the parts are plastic, they do seem to function well, just be mindful of their size and durability outdoors."

“I got these to replace the straps that came with my boat. One of the original straps fell off during the ride home, but these have a secure latch that prevents that. They are well made, and I would definitely recommend them!”

“The straps I received are of great quality. I used them for a 35-minute ride to the marina, and they didn’t loosen at all. They seem durable, but I need more time to see how they hold up.”

“I’ve attached them to my Jet Ski and trailer, and they fit perfectly. They are quick and easy to use, making the whole process smoother.”
