[QUOTE="WacosSon, post: 1494820, member: 14152"] Wish I had a pic of mine, but I don't. I'm attaching a drawing, but its fairly easy to explain and works perfectly. I used 3/4" but you could use bigger to durability I started out with a 3/4" flange u-bolted to the back sidebars of my trailer with a small spacer under the top side of the flange to make it angle out a bit. I then connected a threaded 5" pipe and a 90 degree elbow to the flange. I connected a 4 foot threaded pipe to that. Lastly I took a 6 foot, durable 2.5" PVC pipe and slid it over the long threaded pipe, so that the boat wouldn't get scratched and it would have some give to it. I fastened it to the other pipe inside it by drilling holes and using a few metal pipe straps. Cost me probably 30 bucks in parts and works like a charm, plus, if something breaks it cheap to replace rather than welding and rebending. I'd use durable ubolts, as those are the things that tend to break, but this thing works great! Don't forget to use stuff that won't rust! Hope that gives you an idea! EDIT: Just realized that in the drawing I put the pipe strap on the wrong side. In reality, its on the outside of the PVC pipe, so it still holds is solid but has some bending room to give for the boat pressure. [attach=full]88799[/attach] [/QUOTE]
