Boat/Trailer Tie Down straps

I'm have constant issues with the Boat to Trailer Tie Down straps.
These are the ratchet type, that connect from stern eye bolts to rear of trailer, I hate them ! There must be a better solution ?

The ratchet type straps give me no problems tightening, but when I want to release them to remove before launching the boat, they ALWAYS give me issues, and don't ever seem to release easy !

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a better product.

Thanks.
