No instructions
by Kathy from Oak Grove, Arkansas on October 06, 2016
Probably I'm just dumb but the ratchet came with no instructions on how to use. Since this is our first boat cover....we could have used some help. But it seems s y and fine.

Buy 2
by Jerod from Thief River Falls, Minnesota on April 09, 2015
If you are buying a cover, 1 ratchet does come with your order. The downfall is the cover has 1 rope from each side of the cover that wraps around to the back of the boat. Please buy 2 of the ratchets, it makes cinching up the cover so much easier. TRUST ME

Hook needs a cover
by Ted from Bumpass, Virginia on May 04, 2012
The ratchet actually works quite well although it could use a cover for the hook so that if you fold up the 20 foot cover the hook does not tear it.

Great Idea! Make sure you purchase this!
by Stanley from Scroggins, Texas on December 27, 2011
If you order a "ShoreMaster" cover be sure to include this rope ratchet lock with your order. It makes securing the rope sewn into the cover a snap. Just feed one end through the ratchet lock, burn the end of the rope (stops it from unraveling, also tie a knot in the end to keep it attached to the rope), hook the ratchet lock through the loop in the other end, pull tight and tie off tag end. Holds securely and releases with the push of the release tab. So much easier than trying to tie a knot that will be easy to untie yet hold securely while traveling. I would have given it a 5 if it were easier to feed the end through the ratchet. You only have to do this on the initial setup. Great idea.

clip
by David from Farmington, Connecticut on June 20, 2011
Works well. Could use a clip (instead of just the hook) so that it does not fall out of the other rope before being tightened. This way, it could also be left connected to both rope ends.

Q:
Is there a video to watch on how to use the rope ratchet? no instructions.?
A:
We do not have a video, but you loop one end of the rope onto the hook. Then the other end you pull through the ratchet and pull tight.


Q:
What size line ?
A:
Manufacturer confirms it is 1/4" or 3/8" rope.


Q:
How do you thread the rope through the ratchet? the rope seems too thick to fit in the ratchet that even states 1/4"?
A:
The rope on the Shoretex cover is 1/4" The instructions are: From either port or starboard side, tie off one side of the draw rope with a secure knot. Thread draw rope into rope ratchet and tighten.
