In Response To: Other: Rack Strap Pressure (John VB)

I have used ratchet straps for well over forty years with no problems, even on plastic boats. The straps just need to be snug. The other thing one should do is change out the hooks for carabiners so the straps will stay on even if they loosen up. The hardawre stoe variety work just fine.
