Kennedy Tie Downs

Bucket flies over the transom while underway. Cooler slides and crashes. Baitwell threatens to tip over.

Sound like your typical boat ride?

It doesn’t have to be.

Kennedy Tie Downs secure such equipment on boats.

But there’s more.

Boaters often set up equipment in different arrangements on a given day. It depends on the type of fishing, the number of people aboard and the amount of gear stowed.

Kennedy Tie Downs can secure a cooler on one day, a bucket on another or a chair on another, for example.

What's more, the tie downs are almost flush on the deck, unlike such equipment from other companies, like the big, ugly, plastic brackets that seem to be the only other option for holding a cooler in place.

Kennedy Tie Downs use a small, stainless steel plate with a low profile that gets permanently screwed to the deck, leaving nothing to trip over.

When you want to use the Kennedy Tie Down, screw one of the company’s eyebolts or T-bolts to the deck plate.

Then use a Kennedy turnbuckle or one of the other Kennedy products to secure a cooler, bucket or other item to the eyebolt or T-bolt.

If a cooler, baitwell or other item comes with no place to hook the turnbuckle, the company makes an adapter that can be easily attached.

Kennedy Tie Downs are inexpensive, built to be durable and come with a lifetime guarantee.
