When I ordered my 2015, I added the retractable tie-downs option and it came with Star brite retractable tie-downs from the factory. On my previous boat and Sea-Doo trailers I have installed the Boatbuckle retractable tie-downs myself. After using both brands I much prefer how the Boatbuckles operate. Maybe someone with a newer boat can chime in to see if they still install Star brite from the factory.

I bought the erikson straps and after about a year, they stop retracting. I've had 2 sets quit their spring-loaded retract. That reminds me to contact the manufacturer again to get my 2nd set replaced...
they were half the price of the boatmates, but they're certainly not lasting...

Trailer tie downs
I ordered factory transom straps on my 16' but am unsure what the brand is. I would like to note that they are not meant to be hooked up to the eyelets on the transom of the boat. Hook them to the eyelets under the swim platform. My dealership had them hooked up incorrectly when I originally picked up my boat and the surf tabs wore through the nylon. The straps where replaced under warranty but it is an easy mistake to avoid. The picture illustrates how to hook them up wrong.

I picked up mine at bass pro for half the price of dealer. 2" wide strap retractables for $50. Same what comes from dealer or boatmate but has bass pro sticker that was easy to remove.

Is there a good place to put the retractable straps with the newer boats since they not only have the wake plate but the surf plates? Or are you needing to drill new holes?

The platform has hooks built into it that the straps connect to.
