Suspenz Bow & Stern Tie-Downs – Heavy Duty Transport Security (SKU: 44-2022)

Essential Safety for Every Road Trip

When it comes to transporting your kayak, canoe, or SUP, safety isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a requirement. The Suspenz Bow & Stern Tie-Downs (SKU: 44-2022) are specifically engineered to provide the critical secondary security needed to prevent your watercraft from catching wind and shifting or lifting at highway speeds.

Most roof rack systems secure the center of the boat, but without bow and stern lines, your craft acts like a wing. This kit eliminates “bow lift” and ensures that even in high winds or sudden stops, your boat stays rock-solid on your vehicle. Featuring a heavy-duty ratcheting mechanism, these tie-downs allow you to apply the perfect amount of tension without the struggle of complicated knots.

  • Quick-Load Ratchet System: Forget about the “trucker’s hitch” or complex knots. These tie-downs feature a zinc-plated steel ratchet that lets you pull the rope tight in seconds. The thumb release lever makes unloading just as fast.

  • Weather-Resistant Materials: The 1/4″ braided polypropylene rope is designed to resist rot, mildew, and UV degradation. It maintains its strength even after repeated exposure to rain, sun, and road salt.

  • Rust-Resistant Hardware: The hooks are zinc-plated and clear-coated, providing a double layer of protection against corrosion. This is essential for paddlers who frequently travel to saltwater coastal regions.

  • Universal Hull Protection: The 12-foot length provides ample reach for even the longest sea kayaks or touring canoes. The smooth rope texture and coated hooks help protect your vehicle’s paint and your boat’s gel coat from abrasion.

  • Peace of Mind: Using bow and stern lines is often required by roof rack manufacturers to maintain their warranty coverage. These tie-downs ensure you are fully compliant and safe for long-distance travel.

SEO-Optimized Installation Tips

To get the best performance from your Suspenz 44-2022 kit, always attach the hooks to a secure metal frame point or tow eye on your vehicle. Avoid plastic bumpers or trim. If your vehicle lacks accessible metal points, consider adding “Hood Loops” or “Trunk Loops” to create a safe anchor spot.

Don’t risk your gear or your vehicle. Ensure a safe journey with the Suspenz Bow & Stern Tie-Downs (SKU: 44-2022) today!
