make your own boat trailer guides
Trailer boating is a varied and exciting pastime. launching and retrieving your boat from the trailer is less exciting; many an argument starts while loading a boat onto a trailer. trailer guides make loading back onto a trailer at the end of an outing much less exasperating. making boat trailer guides is easy and takes only a few hours.. Topic: making your own boat trailer guides: madfinnhockey: posted 10-09-2006 01:08 pm et (us) i'd like to put some guides on my boat trailer (you know, the ones that bolt to the side of the trailer, each one has two brackets with a piece of 4 - 5 ft carpeted wood bolted between them that help guide the boat on the trailer).. Without the guides, i believe there would have been a lot of kodak moments at my ramps. you are here, because you need them or have some apprehension about yours. hopefully this page will motivate you to make your own. i have a long foredeck and the guides help me in locating the trailer in dirty water. they show me how deep to back down the ramp.. 
make your own boat trailer guides Created some new trailer guide-ons yesterday using some basic materials from the local hardware store. my main goals for these guide-ons was: make trailer more visible when there isn't a boat on it (for retrieval) help hold the stern in place during moderate winds/currents when retrieving (click for larger image) (click for larger image).
