I added some thick rubber washers where the PVC met my trailer as road shock absorbers.

Thanks for the idea ! Will definitely help when backing up to the ramp.

Great video on a cheap DIY alternative. Looks awesome!

Watched for this idea, saw the piece for the sliding accessories to mount on, gave me an idea for something similar. Been trying to figure out how to make/mount a rod transport rack for 14' crappie rods, on a 14' boat. You just inadvertently, aided me!! Thank You Sir !

I like the Light addition. I agree with other posts. It's been my experience with pvc and seperately with hardware on trailers at high speed vibrations. Both the bolts and thin drain PVC like to break quickly. A lot more expensive. Schedule 80 GREY PVC may hold up better. I'd imagine those bolts break through the WHITE Schedule 40PVC in no time. I like the idea of metal type piping and U Bolts and the use of Florecent paint at the top of the guides. Stainless hardware is recommended. I also read and like the idea of putting rubber washers on the bolts for vibration absorbtion.

Drill a hole in the top of the tube and the cap won't pop off when you back it in the water.

Thanks, this is the method that I will use for my boat. New mod.

Those strippers are awesome! I found some that have a smaller profile for tighter spots (I work on trucks and trailers). Might be the best tool I have for convenience. This is a good mod man, keep the content coming. Not enough fishing channels in Maine!

Nice share and love this cost-cutting solution.

Love the video.I’ve got the same issue on my tracker trailer. I’m planning on using some 1 1/2” heavy wall. I like the extension you fabricated. I’m going add that and attach a strip of nylon to it. Love the commentary by the way. 😂

great idea on the marker lights👍. the distance from your guides to the sides of the boat might need a little more clearance when you are loading the boat. Let us know how that worked out.

Very good video Thank you. I love heat shrinking wires. I may have missed heat shrinking the ring terminals for the ground?? Thanks again

Dude, you're gonna have me looking for DIY improvement projects to do to my gear now.😂 And to think there's guys out there that would rather be shaving their chest.

Trailer lights that get submerged especially is salt water seem to fail prematurely, you can add vertical LED brake lights to the boat guides that never get submerged and they will last a very long time.

Where did you get bracket for guides at back of boat?

All my life I have unhooked the trailer lights before backing into the water. Do you ever have issues leaving them hooked up?

Never

Where did you see $200 for these? I just bough mine for $115, free shipping. I needed metal ones though, when I'm duck hunting and its blowing 30 plus that pvc will break

@mainetroutwhisperer 3 жыл бұрын

Hasn’t broken yet, plus I have bunks on the side that the boat hits first. Not really using them as bumbers/guides. Mostly used them to see the trailer when I back it up with no boat

@spinnie3stax 3 жыл бұрын

Waddell this is what I was looking for. The pvc is what I'm afraid of when there is ice on the water or when it's 20 or less... I love this idea with the lights but the pvc is a no no for freezing Temps.
