Nebraska Fish and Game Association - View Single Post - DIY Guide-Ons??

I've seen them/the kits before... the "part" that I think I'd have the most difficulty creating is how the "L" piece is flat where it lays against the trailer frame.

I'm thinking that I might try to "mash" it some in a vice to create a flat-side to accomplish that.

Once I've done that, some u-bolts and a "plate" for the top of the u-bolt/frame, I think I'll be home free.

During warm-weather, I don't mind wading out to align the boat. But as it - and the water - gets colder, I'm thinking I'd rather stay dry.

But I have to agree, I think guides of SOME KIND are (would be) invaluable to have in the loading process.

Thanks for your post!!
