Using these Camco retractable tie down straps is easy. First, find a suitable place on your trailer to bolt the straps. Make sure it's a flat and sturdy surface. Once they're bolted on, extend the straps over your boat. Use the ratcheting mechanism to tighten the straps until your boat is firmly secured. When you're done traveling, just release the ratchet to retract the straps.
Here are some important things to keep in mind. Always check the straps before each use for any signs of wear or damage. Don't exceed the 2,500 lb. break strength or 833 lb. working strength. And be careful when handling the ratchet to avoid pinching your fingers.
For maintenance, clean the straps regularly with mild soap and water. Dry them thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to extend their lifespan.
