L&R Boat Latch Kit - Towing Eye Model 113 - Suits Most Aluminium Boats up to 6.5m (that have a flat towing eye at the bow).
 
This Boat Latch Kit fits onto your trailer boat and trailer making boat launching and retrieving much easier.

This "Towing Eye model" is for aluminium boats up to 6.5 meters which have  a tow eye on the bow.

Boat Latch Towing Eye kits usually simply bolt on to the boat's existing bow eye with the bolts provided.
(Note: Other models to suit fibreglass boats and aluminium boats without tow flat eyes are also available - see notes below).

Benefits:

• Launch and retrieve your boat single handed.
• The latch kit allows you to release the bow of your boat from the trailer whilst you are standing at the boat's helm, so, launching your boat is now easy.
• When you return to the boat ramp, drive the boat up the trailer then the latch on the bow of your boat will clip into the trailer's part of the latch.
• Keep your partner …safe, dry and happy.
• Go boating when ever you wish without needing crew to help you launch and retrieve.

Features:

• Robust
• Made from 316 grade stanless steel
• Easy to fit - you don't need to drill holes in your fibreglass boat or weld your aluminium boat.
• Tensile strength rated as 4.7 tonnes
