how tight??

see it all the time,
but was thinking it may be a little easier on the hull if what it was resting on can take the shape of it.

New Experience.
I had a strap come loose about 20 min into a drive, then tightened on side of highway, and it loosened again 10 minutes later. Reason I discovered was that I was pulling it tight first (when it was in the open position) THEN I crank it a few times and think its tight. It is best to NOT pull it tight first, leave some slack, THEN tighten it so that it roll upon itself better in the cam (leaves more strap to roll over itself) and it stayed very tight. Know what I mean, jellybean?
