In Response To: Other: lockable tie-down straps (Howie)

I have a set and use them when we travel as the primary hold down straps. But keep in mind that to make them effective you will need a significantly larger "diameter" of the boat between the straps. As my racks are about 6 feet apart they work well for me. And make sure you measure how long a strap that you will need as these do come in lengths that are too short.

I hope this helps,
John VB
