W very interesting accessory for boat trailers is the winch. In some posts we have talked about it. However, today we will talk about the strap, which is wound on the winch drum. The strap is, so to speak, the soul of the winch.
Believe it or not, there are different types and brands of straps, each with its own characteristics. What we are looking for the most is resistance and durability. Resistance, because it must have maximum tensile strength with minimum stretch. In other words, it must support very heavy loads without damage. In addition, the hook must also be very resistant. Durability because it must resist to environmental factors, mildew and other agents that can damage the material they are made of.
In this post we will focus on three of the best brands, i.e. those with the best reviews.
Shoreline
If you have a light boat, Shoreline Marine is an excellent choice. This polyester strap is very durable and mildew resistant. It has a very durable hook as well. However, this strap from a well known brand of boat products is not recommended for heavy loads.
Botepon
Botepon is a highly recommended brand for very high tensions. It is 20 feet long and two inches wide. It can withstand up to 2000 lbs.
Fulton
If you are looking for a strap for very high weights Fulton is the best choice. This strap is yellow, which increases visibility in difficult weather conditions, and has a strength of 10000 pounds. In addition the metal hook is very thick and also has a high strength.
There are many more brands on the market but here we talked about the ones that have received the best reviews. You have three options with different characteristics and capacities and above all from very well known brands in the boat trailer market.
