Has Anyone Put Pads on their Boat Hoist Guide Poles?
I’m looking for some wisdom from the pros here ..... We all put pads on the guide poles on our trailers, but has anyone found a good way to similarly put pads on the guide poles on your boat hoist? I’ve got 3 sons who are all still getting proficient with docking the boat, but as you all know it can get a bit hairy when they come steaming into the hoist and end up banging around a bit.
We’ve got a Pier Pleasure dock and hoist system, and I measured the guide poles to see if I could just use a set of trailer covers for a cheap & cheerful solution, but no dice. The hoist guide poles are 3” diameter PVC over a 2” x 2” square metal pole. So I’m on the hunt for an easy solution, but I haven’t yet found an off-the-shelf product to fit over the 3” diameter poles.
I’ll try to post a pic of the rear guide pole on my hoist but I am guessing is pretty standard on most boat hoists. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or creative solutions to offer :)
