- I was getting annoyed by not being able to see my trailer when I reversed down the boat ramp to load my skiff. So I decided to make my own boat guides without too much effort and money. Let me know what you think!
Any guy who sings a made up boat song while working on boat-important things is man of my heart. Thanks for the DIY!
Great video and your little blooper saying "PVC Pipe" was hilarious! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the post I appreciate it, I decided to put an 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe with caps inside the 2 inch PVC to stiffen the system works great,
Thanks for de video man, it worked phenomenal 👌🏼
Marry me? Hahaha. I love your sense of humor. Going to the hardware and going to attempt this - thanks so much for the tips!
Nicely done; thank you. i wrapped fluorescent tape around the tops of my PVC to increase visibility.
Good idea
Thanks Bro. Definitely a big help. I currently have some Pool Noodles I wrapped the Pole with but with the hot sun here during the summer months, now it's starting to disintegrate. Will be switching over to some PVC here shortly 🤙🏻
Thank you trev. Awesome simple video. Very clear. 👍 good job
Thanks for the video
Great job.... I like this method...I am going to do that to my boat. Thanks
thanks for this. I got a killer cramp trying to straighten my boat from the front.
Bruh this was funny af. Thanks for the vid., was looking for ideas and this helps.
Thanks Bill! glad it helped
Dang Trev That was sweet, gonna do that to my bubba gump kayak trailer😜😜😜😁😁 very kewl solution to those dang trailer lights that i cant see or even know if they are working as i am running down the bubba gump road!
Thanks buddy for the idea
Thanks for the DIY vid! Didn't want to spend a $100 for some guide posts.
Agreeing with other posts. It's been my experience with pvc and seperately with hardware on trailers at high speed vibrations. Both like to break quickly. A lot more expensive. Schedule 80 GREY PVC may hold up better. I'd imagine those shims will vibrate out of place as the Ubolts break through the WHITE Schedule 40PVC.
Just traveling around criticizing?

No sir, just thinking outloud. Hoping to be helpful.
Dude reminds me of Pasta. Is this what the Bruins are doin’ now that they’re out of the playoffs 😢😆😹
Thanks travis..going to do my trailer
definitely what i was looking for.
NiCE! Love it 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
AYYY thank you my brotha!!!
I like it and hate it. First time you bump the pipes, they will more than likely break off. The drilled holes and bolts passing through increases the chances of breaking at the weak point. I would suggest using the u-bolts to mount a piece of steel pipe(round or square) and then sliding your PVC over the steel pipe.
Yeap...
Great idea thanks for sharing
Great job and thanks for the ideas on building these. ;)
Very helpful sir thank you from Liverpool UK
Thank you, YOU DA` MAN !!!!!
"holy smokes", that was funny; i use steel pipe, with a strong current,that pcp, pcv,pvc will break
Ya wont take much of a bump to break those PVC pipes where they holes are drilled into them.
I agree, been my experience with pvc and seperately with hardware on trailers at high speed vibrations. Both like to break quickly. A lot more expensive. Schedule 80 GREY PVC might hold up better. I'd imagine those shims will vibrate out of place as the Ubolts break through the WHITE Schedule 40PVC.
so did the PVC last? Just wondering if it is strong enough to take a few good bumps. Thanks!! And your funny!
Thank you! Yes it will last and flex when you need it to. Good luck!
Great idea on that sweet separation
Now I just need a Boat and Trailor ......🤣🤣🤣 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
LMAO!!
Rock on Trev 🤘🏻
Good job man
thank you bro!
What size were your u bolt’s?
Hey this is super helpful. I just bought my PVC and caps. Cannot find galvanized u bolts. Where did you get yours from and how many inches in length are yours? Thanks!
HEY THANKS for the feedback! Don't stress about the galvanized u-bolts too much! The zinc ones i got at home depot have held up fine with minimal rusting (I soak them with the hose water when i'm done. The inches for the u bolts is based off your trailer frame that you're putting the u bolt around. just measure that. hope this helps
@@topwatertrev3291 awesome thanks!
Wouldn’t zinc help as a sacrificial metal and preserve the trailer from rust? Like zinc blocks on motor and aluminum boat in salt water?
@@topwatertrev3291 Galvanized steel means that zinc is coated to the steel.
Great job bru!
Keep em coming ol top water! #Gang

Nice video
appreciate ya watching!
guides are the back board of the trailer, meaning you sometimes bump them bad boys to get the ball in the hoop/ boat lined up..... are you sure that not having a metal insert will allow the PVC to break the first time you nudge them too hard???? video is 2 years old i was just wondering if you ran into that problem.
i never had a issue with them breaking. if you use shims to extend the poles out from the trailer then you will have room to wiggle. this was made for my small 16ft skiff
But you are Lieutenant Dan Taylor?!
where do you find square u bolts?
Topwater Trev so its been a year whats the status of the Boat Guides?
still going strong! the washers and bolts have some rust on them but for the most part its held up much better then i thought!
Thank you
When's Lt. Dan gonna debut with slime on the deck?
ASAP!!!
Do you use this method you both can't be no wider than your trailer all the wars that trailer has to be about 2 inches wider on both sides to do this
I went and spent $25 on material and got it ready to go but didn't work because my boat was wider as a backing of the trailer the guys won't bend that far it will break the 2 in CV pipe
Correct. That's why i used wooden shims to create seperation from the trailer.
at the 4:27 mark. you just might need more shims or pieces of 2x4
St8 up rocket scientist
Hmmmm. There's a better way. I stuck a couple of 1 inch thick PVC lengths (3 foot long) in my trailer frame, and voila, it worked without any further mucking about. There happened to be a space around the fenders that was a tight perfect fit. After the boat is back on the trailer, I remove the PVC so I don't lose the PVC while traveling on the road. I only need the pvc guides while loading the boat.
Lt. Dan!!
That should last about a week
Its Like rock on but its ubolts lmao
Put that thing in the water and get r done brother!
hahaha yesssir!
Nice. I feel like I wasted 57 dollars today.
Those boards hold salt water and will make your trailer rust out fast.
ummm....Galvanized IS Zinc plated....just sayin...
Rusty Osgood ummm....you’re close. Look up the definition/process of galvanized and zinc plated again...just sayin 👍
@@topwatertrev3291 Yea, I jumped the gun and sounded like a penis....sorry. Both processes use Zinc but plating is cheap crap used for indoor stuff and galvanized is way better for this hardware stuff. You said it right, i'm stupid...just sayin'!
You are incorrect sir. Though Zinc is the product used for treatment for both, the processes are entirely different. Zinc plating will not hold up as well as galvanized steel.
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
yew!
No ragrets!
boating gives me awful gas.
Looks terrible and why use wood???
Todd W. Perry Relax Bob Vila! Keyboards cheap and easy! 😂

I was getting annoyed by you have to restart your video several times. Not impressive.
Sad😢
