Collection: Tie-Downs

Securing a boat to a trailer or keeping gear from shifting underway calls for the right strap for the job, and the options here span widths, lengths, buckle types, and hook styles. BoatBuckle focuses on boat-specific use, with dedicated bow tie-downs, gunwale straps in 13-foot and 20-foot lengths, a trolling motor tie-down, boat cover straps, and a PWC tri-down with a soft hook to protect gelcoat. CargoBuckle covers general-purpose hauling with retractable ratchet straps, J-hook and S-hook ratchet designs, and cam buckle value packs for lighter loads.

Before buying, match strap width to your trailer hardware. Two-inch straps suit heavier hulls and gunwale anchoring, while one-inch versions work for covers, accessories, and lighter craft. Ratchet buckles deliver firm, adjustable tension for trailering, while cam buckles are quicker to set for storage and light securing tasks. Check that your hook style, whether J-hook, S-hook, or soft hook, matches the anchor points on your trailer or dock. BoatBuckle's protective pads are a practical addition when working around painted or finished surfaces.
