Author	Topic:   transom tie-downs
padrefigure	posted 05-30-2002 09:12 AM ET (US)         Boat is '87 OR18--would like to change from over gunnel strap to transom tie downs to secure the boat to the trailer. How do you accomodate the swim platform? Can you recommend a source of non-marring transom straps? Thanks for your help.

NEVER SCARED	posted 05-30-2002 05:50 PM ET (US)          Can the "thru and over the gunnel" straps be used for tying down? Those cleats inside the boat look real beefy but my manual said not to use them for towing, so it seems using them to secure a 1500 pound package to the trailer is also bad. I only use this cleat for tying the docking ropes to the boat. Is this right?
