Product
Heavy Duty Snares
For very large boats we have introduced 'Heavy Duty' versions. These are extremely robust and is intended for larger boats (6.5 metres (21 ft)), or very heavy duty applications.
A relative size comparison
Dealing with Unusual Trailers
Used as an option for certain unusual trailers where the Latch has to be installed too far forward without support at the front - and you risk bending the base - the spacer provides support. The Wedge side plates are used with the Latch Support to adjust the angle of the Latch to the Snare on odd trailer and Bow combinations. Some trailers with unusual winch posts may need changing Easytow make a post which is designed to suit, together with a winch top and associated bolts.
The combination if Angle and Support are both required. This option allows you to tilt the angle up or down by 14 degrees.
(Tested at 7.5 tonnes)
(Tested at 4.7 tonnes)
Roller Extender Option
Used where the roller needs to be able to project out further to the bow. More commonly required on Towing Eye (Aluminium) boats. This is a straight bolt on option avoiding drilling, cutting etc. These are 4 adjustable positions plus tilt. You need to add six M12 galvanised bolts with washers and nylon locking nuts.

Note:- Installation & Use of the L & R Products The products need to be installed, and used, in accordance with the printed instructions on the packaging, printed inserts and the information published on the website www.boatlatch.com. Release & Retrieve Boat Latch Pty Ltd takes no responsibility for product that is not installed and used within these guidelines.
Brace
L & R have established a reputation in Australia for an extremely robust product despite the abuse that boaties throw at it. But very occasionally we get some wild man that manages to bend 10 mm stainless steel plate. We have now added a brace that increases strength in the direction (red arrows) shown by 220% (tested by an independent certified testing lab.)
Front bolt must be installed otherwise you will void the warranty.

Our guide to the right parts that cope with a range of boats, that you can take to your trailer supplier for correct selection OR have produced to suit your needs. Click here to open. However it should be noted that the Fibreglass boat copes more easily with a winch post that is more laid back, as opposed to a aluminium boat with a towing eye where a more vertical post gets the roller in the right position.
