Stern Tie Down Staps

I have seen other boaters, pull the strap up, hook it to the eye, and then just rachet them down tight. The standard straps are not very user friendly, and more difficult with the transom ladder platform. My question is what size or strength do I need? Any recommendations? Thanks.

I went with the standard type. Less adjusting and faster to deploy/remove. https://www.wholesalemarine.com/boatb...downs.html Some owners go fancy. https://www.wholesalemarine.com/boatb...downs.html 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
