Automatic Boat Latch Model T Description
The Automatic Boat Latch Model T is constructed of STAINLESS STEEL to prevent corrosion and help prevent rusting of the boat latch. Stainless Steel holds up to salt and most weather conditions. Highlights to note.
- One of the best and most well-known characteristics of stainless steel is that it is extremely corrosion resistant. Especially known for its durability in salt climate and salt water conditions.
- Holds up INCREDIBLY well in most all climate conditions.
- Stainless steel is an extremely tough and highly durable material with high impact resistance.
- You will NOT be disappointed in the long lasting durability of the clamp.
The Automatic Boat Latch Model T comes with a stainless steel adaptor for your aluminum eye. Simply slide the adaptor over your existing aluminum bow eye in order to protect it. ANY boat latch over time will cause wear on an aluminum eye. This adaptor eliminates the issue.
The Ramp N Clamp cover is made up of an upgraded Stoltz Polyurethane to prevent damage to your boat. Stoltz has been known around the world for its superior super roller material and we have upgraded it to an even stronger more resistant protector. 10 times more durable than plastic. Here are key notes to consider about Stoltz Poly.
- Abrasion resistance
- Non-marking, non-staining
- Won’t split or crack, even in extreme cold
- Longer, consistent performance
- Will not flat spot after months of storage
The Automatic Boat Latch Model T is available in a short handle version or a long handle version. Here are a few highlights to note about both before making a decision.
The Long Handle Highlights
- Very commonly used on roller trailers.
- Automatically resets after loading and unloading.
- Made of Aluminum to help prevent corrosion and rust.
- Easy to reach from inside the boat for launching.
- Easy to add a rope to launch from inside the boat.

I ordered the Ramp-n-Clamp due to an impending back surgery, I won’t be able to bend over the front of the boat to hook up the strap and tighten the winch anymore. It works just as advertised for me.
If I could recommend one improvement: add a mechanical indicator that shows when it’s locked. I sometimes use someone else to pull me up the ramp so something they could see before getting in the truck would be great. 5 STAR PRODUCT.read more
makes launching and loading by myself easy. I ordered it with the long handel but it interferes with the trailer steps. I just left off the extension and added a rope and that works great.read more
One product that seems to work completely as advertised.
My boat is a 23ft crownnline.read more

Burnette –
Love this boat to trailer. Simple to install I just floated my boat. Took off roller and installed the catch, pulled the boat up by hand it caught the very first time. I insured the plate was flush against the boat and finished tighten it down. I have the long handle. What I like about is you don’t have to remove the handle when traveling. NOT LIKE DROTTO.

Bruce M –
Well … I watched all the videos .. ordered Boat to Trailer … when I received it I read the install instructions … Installed it on my boat trailer. Put the boat in the water, then drove the boat onto the trailer. The B2T worked perfectly and I didn’t need to make any additional adjustments! Best purchase I have made hands down. Wish I had purchased this years ago. 100% Happy! If you are thinking about buying … just do it!
Jim T –
Great addition to my boat/trailer! So much easier. Highly recommend.

Don P –
Hello Rob, I spoke to you back in December about the Ramp n Clamp I received for Christmas. You helped me mount the bow eye properly and how to make the proper adjustments. We’ll, I’m happy to tell you it worked perfectly on my Hewes Sportsman 160. What a life saver not having to walk in 36 degree water to attach the winch strap. We’re very happy with it.
Thanks for all your help and support. I highly recommend boat owners install one of these units on their trailer.
