I need a way to mount my big kayak onto my trailer, and I've come up with an idea or two. I can have the place that built my trailer for me put it together but they're buried and can't get to it any time soon. I'm really wanting to get this thing on the water!
Here's the scoop. I need 1' square cross-bars to mount my kayak cradles. I want them to go across the top of the trailer deck and down each side where I can pin them to the trailer. Total span of 68-7/8" inside to inside of end-plate. Needs to be able to support ~200 lbs.
I have come up with two different ways to go about this...Not sure which of my two methods would be easier, but either one will work.
1. A single bar across with a plate welded to the end of the bar that I can pin to the outside deck edge of the trailer. It would need a piece welded at 90 degrees to sit on the deck of the trailer to keep it from rotating. I think this would be the easiest.
I've mocked up an exact replica so you can get an idea of what the heck I'm talking about! Haha!
Obviously, the bar would extend all the way across...
2. Square tube welded to angle piece and then welded at 90* to go across the width of the trailer. Again...a perfect scale mock-up for you...
Either way, I need two of them...one up front, one in back. Built like my mock-ups, they'd be interchangeable.
So...Any takers? Give me a shout with some pricing. I'll paint/finish the pieces...I just need them fabbed up for me! I still need to determine exact height I want on the bar, but that should be easy to sort out. I can drag the trailer over to make sure things fit nicely...preferably in the SLC area. Lemme know! Thanks!
