Rickmur, I have one of those off of an old Loggy Bayou Cheap Seat. I really just don't trust it enough for my liking. I believe they still sell those on their site in the replacement parts section. Loc-On still sells them as well, yet like you mentioned, too pricey.

I have been looking for a strap with a locking adjustable binder on it for this purpose. It is similar to the old chains if you remember that people locked their boats down on the trailer with. If I could find a strap like that, I would purchase several. They would have to have a locking pin of sorts though, so the binder could not come unlatched.
