Default Bumper locations?

Can't ever seem to have the best location for a bumper to be tied to without adding an extra cleat or stringing rope from one end to the other?
I'll bet you have the perfect locations for the rodholders though, well combine them!!



1" PVC with a 3/4" (or less) hole drilled into it, cut to the depth of your rodholder.

That is a good idea, I've seen similar items forsale somewhere......I have brass clips on my bumper lines and have put small stainless "D's" where I need em. (Sorry, no pics)

Send that bumper to Lumberslinger so he can detail it for ya.

Default Rope Storage

Something I'm sure some of ya'll are already doing, I just haven't stepped back to watch what I'm doing with anchor rope.
In the past I would store anchor rope neatly coiled and tied. Even to the point to wrap Velcro straps around them to keep them neat.
While washing the ropes in a 5 gallon bucket of water, it dawned on me, just keep the ropes in an open container. You can transfer them, access them, do just about anything you want and don't have to worry about tangles, knots, etc.
What I've got is a 100', 1/2", primary anchor rope in a holder ready for deployment, then the secondary anchor rope, throw line and dock lines in the other container.

They are stackable, you can wash the ropes in the container and then store them.

How many times you have been at the boat ramp by your self and wished the trailer tongue was a little longer in order to drop the tailgate on the pickup or open the rear hatch on the SUV?
After building a trailer for my duck hunting boat that would allow me to open the tailgate and back down the ramp at dark doom thirty, it dawned on me, just extend the hitch (idiot).
Couple of months ago went to get the material to make an extension, well as fate normally has it they already make such an animal.



The load limit is reduced due to the extended length.
I wouldn't suggest it for road trips but it is great for the weekend outings.
