These T-H Marine transom tie-downs pin the stern of your boat to the trailer so the hull can't bounce or shift on the road. You get two 2-inch by 4-foot polypropylene straps with quick-release cam buckles and coated J-hooks that won't scratch your gelcoat. Simple, water-resistant gear for bass boats, aluminum rigs, and small runabouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery boater who tows knows the feeling. You're doing 65 on the highway, you glance in the mirror, and you want to see your boat sitting dead still on the trailer. That's the whole job of a transom tie-down. This set from T-H Marine gives you two straps that pin the back of your boat down against the bunks so the hull can't bounce, shift, or walk around on rough roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the thing a lot of first-time trailer owners miss. The winch strap and safety chain up front hold the bow, but they do almost nothing for the stern. On a bumpy launch road or a pot-holed interstate, the transom is where a boat lifts and slaps back down. Two good tie-downs across the transom stop that motion cold. It's cheap insurance for an expensive boat, and it's one of the easiest upgrades you can make to a bare-bones trailer setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach strap runs 2 inches wide and 4 feet long, which is enough reach to go from a trailer frame point, over or around the transom eye, and back to the buckle on most bass boats, aluminum fishing rigs, and small center consoles. The webbing is black polypropylene, so it shrugs off water and won't rot the way old cotton webbing did. Both ends carry a coated J-hook. That coating matters more than it sounds. It keeps bare metal off your gelcoat and trailer paint, so you're not grinding a scratch into the hull every time you cinch down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buckle is a quick-release cam style. You feed the webbing through, pull it tight by hand, and the cam locks it. No ratchet handle to fuss with, no tools. When you get to the ramp, you flip the lever and the strap lets go in a second. That speed is the point. Nobody wants to be the person holding up the launch line wrestling with a frozen buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's talk numbers, because they matter. Each strap is rated for a 250 pound safe working load with a 750 pound breaking strength. The safe working load is the number you actually design around. It's the weight the strap is built to hold trip after trip with a healthy safety margin. The breaking strength is where the webbing finally fails, and you never want to run a strap anywhere near it. With two straps sharing the load across the transom, you've got plenty of holding power for the kind of trailered boats these are made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRigging them up is straightforward. Run one strap on each side of the transom, hook the lower end to a solid frame point on the trailer and the upper end to your transom eye or a trailer crossmember, then snug the cam buckle until the hull sits firm on the bunks. You want them tight enough to stop movement but not so brutal you're crushing the transom. A firm, even pull on both sides is the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on care, straight from the manufacturer. Keep the webbing away from sharp edges, heat, and acids, and check your straps every 25 miles or so on a long haul, because loads shift and resettle as you drive. Don't use them if the hardware is damaged or the webbing is cut, worn, or frayed. And these are tie-downs, not lifting or towing gear, so don't rig them to hoist or pull the boat itself. Used the way they're meant to be, a set like this lasts years of weekend trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get two straps in the set, which is exactly what one transom needs. They're a natural match for bass and aluminum fishing boats, small runabouts, and jon boats on single-axle trailers, and they make a smart keep-in-the-truck spare for anybody who tows regularly. Simple gear that does one job well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch wide polypropylene webbing resists water and won't rot for long trailer life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-foot strap length reaches from trailer frame to transom eye on most trailered boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 pound safe working load per strap with 750 pound breaking strength for a healthy safety margin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick-release cam buckle cinches tight by hand and lets go in one motion at the ramp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated J-hooks on both ends protect gelcoat and trailer paint from bare metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish hides road grime and blends with most trailer setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet of 2 covers a full transom, one strap per side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo tools or ratchet handle needed to tension or release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized T-H Marine Supplies reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAre transom tie-downs really necessary?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
