Reply to: Side guides on trailer

Message body

[quote=shortyfox][quote]Bill, you're not really saying where the lights will end up with this scheme. Inside or outside the hulls?
At what height? And how far from the thing sticking out back the most, be it hulls, rudders, or mast? [/quote]
An L shaped section of PVC,  hose clamped to the rear cross beam of the trailer where the lights would normally be mounted.  The vertical part would be just outside the existing side guide rollers and be high enough to keep the lights out of the water and so you can see the position of the trailer when backing up when the boat's not on it.  Right now, the back of the boat sticks out well past the cross beam of the trailer and existing lights are pretty far under there, in fact you can see the vehicles tail lights much brighter because you have an unobstructed view looking under the boat.  If I slid the boat well forward this would put too much weight on the tongue.  I also have an orange traffic cone stuck on the end of the mast.  If someone doesn't see that and rear ends me they're blind.  I just want to be legal.  By the way, I used to have a powerboat that came with this set up and in all the years I had it, I never had to get new lights.[/quote]
