Before I go and disassemble my retractable transom tie down to diagnose a non-retracting/partial retracting problem can someone offer some insight ???

Im sure youve tried this..but did you grab the strap with your hand while you ratchet it ? put a little pressure on it by pulling it and a lot of times it will catch..had to do mine like that almost everytime..

i do this in the interim until i find time to disassemble the darned thing. just ps me off that it doesnt retract like it should. one side works great and the other side, well not so great. Sad this is the boat probably hasnt been in the water over a dozen times…

I have found if they get a lot of road grim in them they can be a pain. It might be worth taken a hose to them before taking them apart.

I was having the same problem when I found that if I keep the release pushed in, I can guide the strap as it winds in. I was pushing the release and it would only go a short distance. When I hold the release in, in winds all the way down. Have you tried this. It works for me. Skipjack
