Default Rock Guard?

Has anyone ever seen something like the Towtector (sp?) that could be attached to the trailer tongue?

To protect your boat? or?

Maybe not what you are after, but these are popular out west for boat protection.
The site is : www.mtrockguard.com
You'll have to type it...without the spaces.

Default towtector

I just bought a glass boat and put a towtector on before leaving dealer. They bolt right on receiver, come with a bracket to mount on garage wall to hang your receiver and towtector on when you aren't using it. Mine cost $249.00.

Yea, to protect the boat. Was thinking if my class II hitch didn't work with the Towtector because the receiver is too small maybe I could make it work by putting further back on the trailer tongue. But, that probably wouldn't stop the rocks that would come between the fender and the skirt. Argg.

Have you thought about something like this?

I put one on my rig and I couldn't be happier with it.

I also made my own version of the Towtector with a lenth of 2X2 square aluminum and some mudflaps. It attaches to the trailer hitch with a simple u-bolt. Total cost was around $50 and it works great.

I just traded my 1/2 ton pickup for a 3/4 ton diesel. Towtector is now about 2 to 3 inches too short. You will need to measure from hitch to ground and mack sure you buy the right one. So I now have a Towtector for a 1/2 ton Chevy or GMC non Z71 for sell. PM me if interested with email address. Will sell for $200.00 plus frieght. Brand new, less then 1 month old, less than 600 miles.

Brent, I think you can simply buy new brushes for your towtector that will fit the lenght you need.

Thanks, I just called the dealer and you can buy replacement skirts. I will probably go that route.
