big Neil Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Here's the plank fitted to my trailer to help load /unload the boat. The plank is secured to the trailer cross members with u bolts. Self explanatory really. BN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest123456789 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Thanks for sharing Neil. I'm definitely adding one to my trailer that looks brilliant. Makes you wonder why they don't manufacture them as standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar setup on my trailer that I bought as an option when buying my new boat package. I find it fantastic when encountering a slippery boat ramp....have seen too many blokes go A over T!

A lot of the manufacturers have them as standard or optional.My trailer came with the walkway but I find it a bit narrow at around 8" wide. My solution was to add grip tape every where I walk as I stand on the walkway and trailer rails at the same time as well as climb over the bow and through the windscreen. One of the best mods I did to the trailer was putting that tape on as I slipped and nearly lost the Crown Jewels prior to that. If you make a walk way try to make it at least a foot wide so it's not such a balancing act.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
