RacerxV6 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hey guys, How many of you all use the newer retractable boat ties? I am looking at getting a set for the boat due to the ratchet ones that came with the boat are scratching it. Powered coated aluminum isn't easy top repair so..if it can be.. Tell me what you all use or what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I’ve had them on my last two trailers and really like them, never has any problems other than sometimes they don’t like to retract all the way. I can’t think who makes them but I’ll go out and look later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCFD rtrd. Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 My original retractable straps on my 2013 Ameratrail are still working fine. You need to flush them when rinsing the trailer and spray a little lube in there about every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallowminded6 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just purchased some. Need to buy new stainless lock nuts as the other freeze when trying to tighten. Just a heads up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
