I recently bought a boat and the trailer has very nice guides that stick up about 2 feet above the trailer making it easy to see when loading the boat. <br /><br />
<br /><br />As you can see, however, these guides are made of about 2 inch angle iron. So, the first time my boat touched one of them when I was loading it on a windy day I scratched the paint a little. <br /><br />I'm thinking the least expensive way to remedy this situation would be to find a few feet of some big rubber pipe (like maybe 4-6" diameter), cut it in half, and secure it to each of the guides. I can't find any rubber pipe that large. The home stores only carry little stuff. I would prefer rubber over that plastic drain tile. <br /><br />Any ideas who might carry such large rubber pipe or any other ideas for softening the guides.<br /><br />Thanks.
