    Retractable Tie Downs on 2016 Nitro Z20

    Looking to add retractable tie downs to my 2016 Nitro Z20 trailer. For those who have done this, which tie downs did you buy, and did you have to make any mods to the trailer?

    Thank you,

    boat buckles are awesome and for what things cost these days I think they're reasonable.

    I am a guy that generally over tighten everything, including my boat buckles, I have bashed them through ice on the lake and they keep coming back for more. Sad to read BMCD's post. But after over 550uses still keep working even in the winter , they freeze but then while loading the boat back up they thaw so I can strap up.

    Not sad, I use them alot and all year round. Seems right at 2 years I will have to replace at least one of them.

    550 Uses would prolly exceed my usuage though. Thought I fished alot would take me several years to get to that.
