This may be a dumb question, but I'm stumped. I like to tow with transom straps, but I can't see a way to do it with autoflow tabs. Does anyone have a good way to do it would trailer mods?

We use the straps with our auto flow. Our straps have the rubber protected to keep the flow tab from rubbing the strap. Tow 45 miles each way to the lake weekly no problems.

Got any pics, that seems like a problem , I would always tow with straps and I think in some states it's illegal not too.

Curious how you get around the tabs. They're in direct path of the straps. Do you disconnect them each time?

what's the fully deployed position of auto-flow? Can it go completely vertical in the downward position? If so, the strap should work in that position maybe.

My Mojo has the autoflow w/ transom straps, after a few trips to the lake I noticed the straps started chaffing.....I cut up a pool noodle and place that over the autoflow tab. Seems to have helped. I can get pictures tommorrow.

Don't think I can deploy both at the same time, even if they would go flush. I'm going to investigate this week.

Interesting. The Supras have an extra set of transom eyes on the swim platform brackets to connect the transom straps to.
