    boat buckle

    Is there a difference of the boat buckle tie down. One says bow the other says transom.
    asking cause there is a price difference. Canyon use either one on the transom.

    The bow Boat Buckle is a safety chain alternative, the Stern version are the 2 ratcheting straps that bolt to your trailer. Unless I’m wrong!

    There is no difference in the weight rating on them. Keep in mind you only get one bow tiedown for the price as opposed to two for the transom tiedown so I believe it works out to be cheaper buying the transom ones if you need two.

    Yep package of 1 versus 2. Mounting hardware included may be different.

    Stainless Steel version is worth the extra coin.
