I currently have a boat and trailer set up that works pretty well for me. I have side guides, trailer lights, etc. The problem is that I cannot really see the boat or trailer when backing down the ramp to launch the boat. I was thinking about adding vertical PVC pipes to the trailer as a visual marker only. I have two main options that I am considering, but am open to any other options also. Here are the two current options:
1. Get some smaller pvc pipes (maybe one inch?) and just keep them in the back of the truck. Temporarily strap them to the side (maybe with bungee cord?) for launching the boat only, and then take them down for towing.
2. Get some larger pvc pipe (not sure on what size). Drill two holes through both the pvc pipe and the metal vertical arm the supports the horizontal side guide and then run stainless bolts through these holes (mainly to keep the pvc pipe from dropping down). Then secure the pvc pipe along the same vertical arm with two stainless steel U bolts.
Please let me know what you think, thanks!
