Both my tie down straps broke today. Started shopping for new ones and discovered the old ones were grossly under rated and that most straps are.
My boat weighs 6100 pound dry, and I have no idea what the trailer weighs.
So what should transom tie down straps be rated at for this application? They aren't suspending 6100 lbs. in the air, but road imperfections can certainly make boat and trailer want to part company with great force.
Thoughts, and links, greatly appreciated.
