Dredog Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hi mate I was thinking of the same thing and then thought, why not just put your go pro on the back and using the bluetooth, you can see it on your phone, assuming youve got got one, if you havent well get one and then you can use it in the water too, whilst fishing.

spaners Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sorry boys but I think if you need to go to that extreme you need to practise reversing a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longy509 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sorry boys but I think if you need to go to that extreme you need to practise reversing a bit more. I dont want it for reversing in general it would just make life easier when i get home so i know when to stop without having too get in and out of the ute too keep checking im not guna hit the house with prop and also leave enough room to walk through between motor and house the boat is higher and wider than my ute and with a canopy on im reversing blind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunnerparts Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I dont know of anything, that I would be comfortable enough with being constantly dunked in Saltwater and possibly pressure washed. Their are a couple of relatively cheap kits around now that pair with a smart phone. This is one we have access to, http://www.tcag.com.au/products.html?p=21853 at this stage i have not personally seen it or handled it. IP67, is for immersion 15cm - 1m. Particularly if you only want it for the trailer, to me it means you dont have a screen taking up space on the dash when not using, and would presume you would have your phone on you.

Fab1 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Mate, don't know about cameras but what I did is position my boat in it's parking spot attached to car and painted a line on the drivers side in the garage which I use as a guide when backing and dynabolted a stop at the end.You can just see the yellow line painted on the floor in the pic.Just a idea.

Juggs Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 need it on the car to see where the trailers going, not on the trailersaying im a shit reverser because i need one is a bit high and mightyeven though my trailers 6m long i cant see it behind my ute untill its swung too far out either side, even with the tailgate down just for the fact it may save you running a kid over at a ramp makes it a worth while consideration how many times do people just walk behind you while your reversing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonywardle Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 My reversing goes all to pieces when my father in law is around It can be pretty hard to see out the bak. You just have to hope that people don't walk behind you, they watch their kids and that you go slow enough so that they realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
