    boat latch

    what is the best boat clamp so that when I put my boat on the trailer it locks in. I am getting tired of going to the front to hook it up... something like this.

    anyone ever use the ramp and clamp?

    Never used one. Never seen one at the ramp either. It's a good concept though.

    I have a Drotto I use with a stratos 285. Installed in 2 minutes at the ramp and has worked 100% from the first loading. I fish by myself most of the time and love it. At first I would leave the strap hooked up and locked but with slack while backing down/ pulling out. Until I felt I could trust the latch. It has been flawless and on some extremely steep ramps. https://www.boat2trailerhookup.com/amp/
