Thread starter gt Start date Trailfr 8, Joined Jun 11, Messages I'm considering adding PVC trailer post guides to my boat trailer. The trailer gets lost behind my truck when retrieving boat. My trailer tubing is 2"x4". Any ideas on how I would attach the guide posts to the trailer frame?
I was going to diy pvc boat trailer guides on u-bolts but diy pvc boat trailer guides on quite figure out how to attach one on the top side of the trailer frame and one on rrailer bottom on each side yes, I need a diy pvc boat trailer guides on, sorry.
I could always drill through the trailer frame and attach kn that way OR simply drill through the PVC and the frame and attach with stainless steel bolts. Have any of you attempted this project? What worked for you? Diy pvc boat trailer guides on Apr 1, Messages You can't go wrong with this deal. Joined Apr 8, Messages 5. They have the square stock handy and can do a great sturdy job while I wait.
I Diy Pvc Boat Trailer Guides Work paint the steel bar stock with primer, slide a peice of PVC tube over each and it's good to go. Cheaper than buying a ready made product that usually doesn't quite fit your trailer. Grandad Lieutenant Commander.

I can figure a way or find someone to cut them to size if needed. I'm really diy pvc boat trailer guides on forward to the build. Should be exciting! Joined May 17, Messages 6, It's more of the "i did it myself" aspect of the whole thing. I've guices got trailerr PVC laying around so thought I'd just pick up some mounting hardware and get it. I'll run to the local hardware store and see what they have here shortly.
Yes, I'll be gathering something to add rigidity. Not sure when the project will happen as the rain has just about everything on hold for right. Joined Diy Pvc Boat Trailer Guides 05 Feb 10, Messages 4, Are these guides to be just for visibility re: where the trailer is, or do you want guides the boat can bump off of while retrieving?
If just the latter, it seems PVC alone would be. Unless you ever bumped em lol. They are really just for visualizing the trailer when it gets "lost" behing the boat.
I will be adding rigidity somehow just in case. I'm sure they will get bumped eventually! I was even thinking last night about possibly some "removable" ones that I could just slide on and off at the ramp Most look like they don't have any stiffener inside the PVC.
I'm pretty interested in this because Trailler thinking of adding these kind of guides or something similar to my trailer to aid in backing up when the trailer is empty and I have a tonneau cover on my truck.
Thinking about my trailer, if I ran into one of these guides, I think I'd have bigger problems than a broken PVC pipe I'd probably have a chipped keel from hitting the trailer frame. If I was far enough out of alignment that I hit guidepost, a broken post would be the least of my worries. Unless your guides are reinforced, PVC can't stand up to even minor abuse.
In the picture below, you'll note that there is no side wind and no waves. The problem with this "natural" rock ramp, if you look closely is that it slopes sideways as evidenced by the height difference of these guides out of the water.
A couple of minutes after this picture was taken, I managed to bend the starboard guide fiy when my boat settled off center on the trailer as diy pvc boat trailer guides on was towed from the water.
The ones on my trailer are 2" x. The tubes go into sockets on the trailer and are retained by a pin and a couple tensioning bolts - so the are easily removable. They will take quite a hit.
