[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 418963, member: 15636"] [b]Got this idea =D> from Richg99! [/b] My bunks are positioned with the 2" by 4" horizontally, so I couldn't use the typical gutter covers he did. The stuff I got, donated for free from a neighbor, was an odd-angled 'U'-shape, where the sides of the 'U', if you will, have an extra bend in them. I just used a simply C-clamp on each bunk end to temporarily hold the plastic/PVC/whatever in position, then just secured it with a few weather-roof siding screws and washers. Simple and works well! The 1000+ pound boat & motor easily slid off the trailer into the water, before I would have to muscle it off ... depending on the steepness of the ramp and tidal stage. Or resort to the 'tie off the bow line, reverse fast and BRAKE' to slide her off the carpeted bunks. [/QUOTE]
