These Camco straps combine a space-saving retractable housing with a bolt-on mounting base and a straightforward ratcheting action, offering a tidy, durable solution for weekend boaters and professional haulers alike. Materials resist corrosion, and the compact design keeps straps from flapping or snagging during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these straps install on a trailer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is direct: the unit is designed for bolt-on mounting to your trailer frame or crossmember. Position the housing where it aligns with the boat’s transom points, secure with hardware, and route the strap to the attachment point.

These Camco retractable transom tie down straps are intended for boat owners, marina workers, and trailer operators who want a compact, durable, and easy-to-use transom restraint. They’re particularly useful if you regularly trailer boats and prefer hardware that stays tidy and ready on the trailer rather than loose straps. If you tow larger vessels or need higher working loads, pair these with additional tie-down points or consult load-rating requirements for your rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What hardware is needed to bolt these on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Standard trailer-grade bolts and nuts sized to the mounting holes; use lock washers or thread-lock for vibration resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can these straps handle saltwater exposure?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, the materials are corrosion-resistant, but rinsing after saltwater use extends service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Camco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171258024279,"sku":"B01M6W1FS3","price":69.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/camco-front-mounted-transom-tie-down.jpg?v=1790441468","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/camco-retractable-transom-tie-down-straps-1-x-5-5-bolt-on-mount-1-500-lb-break-strength-black","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
