Ramp N Clamp Sport Model Description
The RNC Sport Model boat latch is constructed of STAINLESS STEEL to prevent corrosion and help prevent rusting of the boat latch. Stainless Steel holds up stronger than any powder coated steel or zinc plated steel PERIOD. 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 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 RNC Sport model 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.
- MUST float the boat then pull handle to release the boat. (short handle has an option to manually release at anytime)
- LONG HANDLE MODEL CAN NOT BE CONVERTED TO SHORT HANDLE MODEL
The Short Handle – Automatic Handle Highlights (Automatically resets clamp)Â
- Very commonly used on bunk trailers.
- Automatically resets after loading and unloading.
- Made of Stainless Steel to help prevent corrosion and rust.
- Low profile for less bulk.
- Very little force to open.
- MUST float the boat then pull handle to release the boat. (option 1 short handle can manually release at anytime)
- BOTH THE MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC HANDLEÂ COME WITH PURCHASE OF SHORT HANDLE MODEL
- SHORT HANDLE MODEL CAN NOT BE CONVERTED TO LONG HANDLE MODEL
The Short Handle – Manual Handle Highlights (Open clamp at anytime)
- Very commonly used on bunk trailers.
- Manually reset after loading and unloading.
- Made of Stainless Steel to help prevent corrosion and rust.
- Low profile for less bulk.
- Very little force to open.
- Can place handle in the up or “release position” to keep the clamp open for launching. You do not have to float the boat to release. If you prefer to unhook your strap and chain and release the clamp at the same time, you can with this option. You must manually place the handle in the down or “locking” position before loading the boat.
- BOTH THE MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC HANDLE COME WITH PURCHASE OF SHORT HANDLE MODEL
- SHORT HANDLE MODEL CAN NOT BE CONVERTED TO LONG HANDLE MODEL

Charles W –
Put mine on today works great took 10 minutes to put on
Rick Lisek –
These latches are truly a life saver. I have them on both my boats. Game changer for sure. I guide over 300 trips a year and the latch has never failed or let me down.
William Cerrato –

Gary W –

Roger Hickey –

Odis Arp –
I got mine! Should have got it sooner.
Michael Bacca –
My Son and I just installed on my trailer for my 21’ Triton, SF-21…took about 20 minutes…his idea was to keep the strap on, but let the boat float a couple feet…installed it on the ramp…then started the motor and drove it up to lock…works great!
Andrew W –
I have used my RNC boat latch twice after installing it. It works excellent on my G 3 1860. Even more impressive is that Boat2Trailer read my comment and sent me apology for the missing lock nut that goes on the roller wheel , along with a free gift for my inconvenience. Quite frankly I wasn’t expecting that. Very impressed, thanks Boat2Trailer !!!
James –
got parts two days ago had to make minor adjustments to one roller everything is working great no problems experimenting with trailer depth made couple of tries it all worked out go very happy with results
Albert Lopez –
I purchase one made loading and unloading a lot easier.
Blaine –
Just installed mine this weekend. Works great. Very easy to install and operate!
James Arnold –
Just installed one on my boat 16′ bass tracker. It works great no more wet feet.
Brian L –
This product works extremely well. I put one on my Ranger trail along with the extended handle (option). I attached an S hook and used some ski rope and a carabiner clip and just pull the string from the driver’s seat and like magic, the boat slides right off the trailer. For guys like me that load and unload by themselves, this is perfect.
Christopher B –
Just installed mine yesterday on my V20 trailer after a tournament. Very nice and works as advertised. I was getting so sick of not getting the boat just right or it sliding down etc. These should be standard issue from just an efficiency standpoint at the ramp loading and unloading.
jim –
Just install it on my boat works Phenomenal. Very easy to install. 16′ tracker. No more wet feet
jim –
I bought the sports model and it worked out fantastically. Very easy to install. I tried it out the first time the other day Floated my sixteen foot Bass tracker. And it released very easily. When I came back in I backed the trailer back in got in the Boat pull it up until it clicked. Very easily. And I didn’t get my feet wet.
tracker and it released very easily
Brad Garrett –
Love it. Easy install. Works as promised. Takes the PITA out of loading and unloading.
Bryan Mueller –
Nice quality product, but I didn’t like the fact that I had to grind down the attachment points on my trailer in order to make it fit.
Perry Powell –
Put one on my FX Skeeter and love it!
David –
Best thing ever
walter –
Bought one for my Xpress H20B and it really works well.

Dustin –
Got one on my 21 ft nautic star game changer just drive it on and done
Mike Keyes –
Amazing product. Makes my life a lot easier.
Calvin Wilcox –
The Sport Model is really great. Very easy to use. The only drawback is when you are fishing on a trolling motor only pond. I found I had to start the big motor to get the bow eyelet to click in
Jeff Morris –
The absolute best product out there! Game changer loading and unloading your boat. Love mine
Jeff –
The absolute best product out there! Game changer loading and unloading your boat. Love mine
Tony –
This is the best thing ever. Especially if you fish by yourself.
Terry B –
BEST MONEY EVER SPENT
Timothy B Findley Sr –
Great Product…Perfect for Launching and Recovering when fishing alone! A carpet decal would be a great addition…I get a lot of questions and have to find the business card to pass along the info!!!!
Joyce –
The Ramp & Clamp has truly been a life save for my husband. He is 74, loves to fish in his new Crestliner boat but getting it back on the trailer and hooked up was a challenge. He actually had to climb over the bow, stand on the trailer and hook up the winch strap then climb back in the boat, get out and pull out. Now he just drives it on till it latches and drives away. Other people at the launch are amazed how fast and easy it is. Send me some business cards and I will hand them out at the lakes. Thank you.
William Waring –
Bought one for my z20 works great and worth the money
Daniel S –
Put mine on Saturday on my ranger trailer and it is the bomb
Lee B –
Works great on my 2008 basscat couger
Doug A –
Just installed one on my boat. Haven’t used it yet but anti-theft locks and mechanism install easy and quick. If you give it a little thought, as long as you have two people, you can drop one of you to get in line, drive the boat away from the launch and when your turn comes, drive the boat on and pull away. That should speed up the the process at the launch line when you are coming and going, especially at the worst times such as when a storm is coming or has arrived. Do all fellow boaters a favor and get one! I especially like to purchase MADE IN THE USA BY A TRUSTWORTHY COMPANY!
Ron –
Just ordered one for my Nitro Z6. Can’t wait to simplify my solo launching. Follow Up- Just mounted it today and It’s the slickest! Guy at the launch was all “What the?” When I drove the boat on, listened for the click and cleared the ramp in seconds
Eric Y Smith –
Get on and off the boat ramp quick… easy to install and works like a second person. I can unload and load my boat quicker than ever with just myself. Quality product with all hardware included easy install. If you install this with boat on the trailer PLEASE put a jack under the hull of the boat and lift slightly so the winch stand doesn’t push forward from the weight of the boat on it. I learned the hard way because instructions say don’t jack up boat. Well winch stand slid forward hitting me in the collarbone and jaw knocking me off the tongue of the trailer… no fault but my own.. lol Great product..
Randy A –
If you fish by yourself, it’s an awesome tool to have
Lewis Ecker –
Game changer,,, Wow 🤩 how did I ever live without this….. absolutely works as advertised!
Cory Sumner –
One of the best things I’ve bought for the boat

Trung H –
Got the sport version to fit kenner. Have to modify the safety hook strap and not worry about bending over to latch the boat again. Awesome product!
Chris Sexton –
Went on super easy, and it’s an awesome addition to the boat and trailer. Literally makes life 10 times easier when fishing alone.
Rick Fredin –
Works great easy to install
Chris –
Its awesome
Ray C –
Tried mine today worked perfect on my Ranger z521L
Rich Giese –
Bought this for my Ranger boat. After a great day of fishing. My son and I always ended the day fighting landing the boat correctly. Best thing ever, no more arguments.
Pete Jackson –
Great product. I can not believe I waited so long to buy one. If you fish a lot by yourself as I do the Boat2Trailer latch is a must have. No more standing on your head or in the water to latch your boat. Works wonderful. If it sounds like I like mine. You are right. I do.
Gary Crone –
Works as advertised. Really nice for launching and loading my 18’ Charger alone!
Eric B –
Great Product backed by a great company, customer service is outstanding!
Jeff Phillips –
man i am impressed this is better than sliced bread i will give this three thumbs up and a twirl
Ricky Kline –
one of the best things I have bought for going fishing by myself . easy to get boat off the trailer and makes it supper easy to load .I have recommend it to all my friends and family. If you have a boat you really need to check out Boat2trailer I give it 100 thumbs up.
Jon Winn –
I got mine, works great!
Christopher J –
I’ve used mine for a couple of months now, and it has been absolutely fantastic. Couple of times I would’ve slipped and fell at the ramp but with this it did save my back
John J –
As a charter boat captain down in SW Florida. This was an awesome birthday gift! Makes my life easier. Love it so far!
Ron Plinske –
Installed the Sport Model on my Nitro Z6, single BEST accessory I’ve added to my boat! Debated for a year on doing this, don’t wait, just buy it! I show everyone at the launch that doesn’t have it already, I think I sold a few after demoing just by driving my boat on the trailer and exiting, just as easy launching. No more fumbling trying to unhitch from the deck of the boat. Solo Fisherman’s Best Friend!
Ron H –
Just ordered the Sports model today. Can’t wait to get it on my Trailer. Though I keep my boat on a lift at local Marina so don’t trailer it often it be nice to have this mainly to prevent ” Back Slip” when I pull out from a ramp.
Mike Curnutte –
Just installed mine this evening! It worked awesome, so easy to load my boat now! Highly recommend it!
Louie S –
I bought mine and installed it in 5 minutes. It is extremely well-built and operates exactly as they said. I think everyone who owns a boat should have one of these. Definitely 5 stars.
Walt H –

Ronnie B –
I’m getting ready to purchase my second one
Bob Obrien –
I just launched our new to us 21’ SeaRay using the short manual latch and it worked flawlessly. I like the new design and the latch system. Every boat trailer manufacturer should have this device installed. It’s a game changer.
Steve T –
Love mine. It should be standard on all boat trailers
Bill Ewing –

A great product that makes self launching and loading much easier. Highly recommended upgrade that every boat trailer should have.
tony honeycutt –
Put this on my 186 sport key largo, works great, never have a boat without it again
Kerry Paquette –
This thing is the bomb đź’Ł it makes loading in and out in seconds, it’s amazing for tournaments…..ya just gotta make sure your partner flips the lever down when he launches ya…..lol
Tom Erbil –
In regards to performances, I absolutely love it! Before I would drive it on and sometimes it would slip back off the roller depending on the angle of the ramp and how far I backed in the trailer. Now, just drive it up and it will click and lock, then you are done and can quickly run up and get off the bow of the boat without worrying about the boat sliding back down. Once you jump off, you don’t need to tie up the boat right there while you are still in the water ( I have to bend over and reach the cable and winch connector while balancing on the trailer- it is not impossible but difficult). Just jump off the bow and motor up onto dry land and attached your winch and emergency cable with ease standing up! Really makes a big difference when you are by yourself, old, or have a rookie with you who can’t help much.
Andrew Wayson –
Now that I have one of these. I can’t imagine being without it. This is a very good product and Company. Everyone should have one these on their trailer. They make life at the Ramp so much easier. Drive onto trailer, click, turn engine off, hop out, pull rig from water. That simple
Carl Till –
Finally installed mine today. Wish I had known about it sooner. It’s awesome!!Would highly recommend it to others.
W Hunt –
Best money I ever spent on my boat trailer, being age 82 it was a chore having to get off the front of the boat to hook up, now I don’t have to do that anymore, thanks boat 2 trailer.
Brian –
I got one and man well worth the money. Especially now I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma blood cancer it really helps with uploading and loading! My fishing partner thinks it greatest thing since sliced bread!! Lol
Bob Drouillard –
Great product. Took a couple trailer post and bunk adjustments, but got it set perfect to drive on and easily latch up. I certainly recommend it!
Keith Latimer –
I love mine! Since I fish alone most of the time, it really saves me time, and the danger from getting in and out of my boat several times each trip.
Gerard K –
I was put off by the price, but it’s worth it. Always get looks when I just power up the trailer, hear the click, shut the motor off and hop out. Doesn’t get easier.
Harold Lott –
Easy to install, works great, makes it nice to trailer boat fast and move out of the way at busy boat ramp and keeps boat in place on trailer
Javier –
Hooked mine up today…Worked on first try
David S –
Got mine yesterday. Really fast shipping
Stuart H –
Just received and installed mine.
Can’t wait till spring so I can see how it works.
Mike H –
I installed mine today. It works great and it’s great quality..
Jamey Burchett –
I installed a Boat2Trailer on my Skeeter and absolutely love it! It makes unloading and loading my bug much easier, both assisted and by myself.
Randy Z –
I have made many upgrades to my boat over the 20 years I’ve owned it, not many to the trailer. I added the Boat2trailer latch to my trailer. This, you need this. Worth ever penny and more. As a senior, no more slippery walks to the winch, no more climbing over the bow is important to me. Awesome product.
Dennis B –
Love mine I’m 65 and didn’t like leaning over front to hook up Well worth it
Dave S –
This is a Great addition to any boat trailer. I love mine.
Stu Holbrook –
Just received and installed mine.
Can’t wait till spring so I can see how it works.
Michael E Jones –
I have 2023 Mako 18 LTS that I bought to use now since I am retired. I ordered the Sport model and installed it with the manual short handle. It works great! No more climbing over the bow of the boat and standing on the trailer to hook up the winch rope. No more sore knees and shims and risking falling. Especially nice when going fishing by myself. Thanks Guys.
J Montey –
Great product. The best upgrade I’ve made for my boat
Hardy –
This weekend I have a couple watching load my 22” defiance back on the trailer. Since the latch is lower I had to throttle more than some boats. They laughed at me in the beginning and once they seen the boat latched on this was amazed. They came up to me when I was off loading the items and said “that’s a neat device you have… you locked in and pulled off with ease”. I told them “ it’s timing saving and it’s worth the money. Make sure you check them out at boat2trailer.
Michale G –
This is great, Love Mine
Frank P –
Put mine on today couldn’t have went any easier
Scott H –
Installed mine at the lake in about 5 minutes; backed trailer down ramp, ran boat onto trailer, & heard that “click” from the latch locking to the eye. Son of a gun… it works & I love it! Very convenient
Nancy –
Best thing I ever bought for my boat ! Works great
Sam Maggio –
If your thinking about buying this….quit thinking and just pull the trigger. I was a tad skeptical, but I can promise it’s worth every penny!!!!
William Bryant –
I got one for my Triton bass boat and man it’s a life saver!
Chad –
I charter on Erie so I launch all the time solo. Boat2Trailer is absolute must have.
I have explained it to so many people over the years. Go an order one you won’t be disappointed
Gary Black –
Installed yesterday at a steep ramp.
Works well. Should work even easier on a normal not so steep boat ramp. Had to add a circular heavy duty clip to be able to connect safety chain as my eye bolt on the boat was not quite big enough to handle all three things. Boat 2 trailer, strap hook and safety chain. Other than that looking forward to using it more. Well built product. This is on a 24 foot proline bay boat. Boat, motor and fuel approximately 3800 pounds.
Jeff C –
Just ordered mine!! Have been seeing them at the ramps can’t wait!!
Jonah Lowery –
If you don’t have one of these and you own a boat if you are falling out of a tree stop and order this product!! You have no idea how much it saves you at the ramp!! The installation can be done in minutes with a couple of tools.
William K –
Just sharing my experience. My wife (a gem) got this for me on Valentines Day this year. I boat solo most of the time (20′ Blue Wave center console bay boat), and loading was always a hassle because of the ramp angle and hull design. I’d have to motor onto the trailer up to the trailer winch, leave the motor throttled up, climb down off the bow, attach the winch hook, winch it tight, crawl back over the bow and throttle down. I’ve tried loading with the trailer at many depths, and this was simply the only way. I put this thing on at the ramp my next outing (10 minute installation at most), and my solo boating life was changed forever. For the better, obviously. I HIGHLY recommend this thing for solo boaters who have trouble loading.
Bobby Z –
Great product and a great company to work with. If you go boating or fishing by yourself, the boat to trailer hook up is a must especially if you have gray hair lost a lot easier on us retirees
