Need a new strap for my trailer. lots of options on Amazon but thought I would check here to ensure I buy the right strap. any suggestions?

Thank crew...

I will only say, check the ratings on the strap and the hardware.  No point putting a 1000 lb strap on a 3700 lb winch for a 5K lbs boat.

Local boat supply place or Wally World.. Probably only 2 places in China or Mexico that make them and put 50 different stickers on the packages. JM2C

I usually buy something like this, with hooks on both ends.  I cut it down to about 5', this increases the pulling capacity of the winch.  Since it has 2 hook, it gives me a spare for next time.
