I'm far away from my 2015 H180 OB and need to buy new tie downs for the bow eye and transom eyes. Can someone please let me know if I need 2-ft or 4-ft lengths?

I don't trailer enough to need fancy retractable BoatBuckle G2s. Just need the BoatBuckle Pro type.

Trying to pick 'em up before the long weekend. Thanks!

Hey, not sure if its too late but I just recently bought two new 4' length straps and they work great. I was like you and couldn't decide to go with the 2' or 4' but I went longer as I do believe the 2' would be too short. The 4' straps have about 16" left of slack that just gets folded up. Now, my boat is a H200, so I'm not sure how that differs. Good luck.

Any extra strapping that you don't like can be easily trimmed using a hot knife. I heat up a paint scraper with a torch and use that to trim the strap. Leaves a nice clean cut that will not unravel.

I'll grab some four-footers. Thanks for the hot knife trick. For now I'll just let them hang because I don't trailer more than 400 feet or so.

Thanks everybody!
