Rod Saver Heavy-Duty Ratchet Trailer Tie-Down – 2″ x 5′ – Pair

Need a little more reach than a short transom strap gives you? This is the 5-foot version of Rod Saver’s heavy-duty 2″ trailer tie-down. The extra two feet over the 3′ strap lets you get to anchor points that sit farther from the boat.

It’s built for medium to large runabouts, pontoons and cuddy cabins.

• 2″ x 5′ ratchet straps, sold in pairs.
• 2,400 lb capacity.
• Heavy vinyl-coated top hook to protect the boat’s finish.
• Zinc-plated bottom hook for the trailer.

How to choose the length: measure from the boat’s tie point to the trailer anchor. Under about 3 feet, the 3′ strap keeps the tail short. Longer than that, or if you tow more than one boat on the same trailer, this 5′ strap covers more setups.

These same straps are in our Haul & Tie-Down Kit, together with a 4-pack of 1″ cam buckle straps for loose gear.

Re-check them after the first few miles. If a motorcycle shares the driveway with the boat, a Speedway Shelter gives it a spot of its own.

Common Questions

When do I need a longer transom tie-down?
When your trailer’s anchor is farther from the boat’s transom eye than a short strap can reach. This Rod Saver is 5 feet, the longer of its two 2-inch heavy-duty sizes.

What boats is the 2 x 5 Rod Saver strap made for?
Medium to large runabouts, pontoons and cuddy cabins, per Rod Saver. Capacity is 2,400 lbs, with a heavy vinyl coated top hook and zinc plated bottom hook. Sold in pairs.

What are the hooks like?
The top hook has a heavy vinyl coating, so it’s gentle on paint and gelcoat. The bottom hook is zinc plated.
