Towtector

[MallardMayhem]

I recently bought a new used boat this spring and want to keep the rocks chips/road spray off of it as much as possible. Just looking for ideas on what others have/use to do the same. I really like the towtector but would like to see if anyone has pros/cons to it or any other systems out there since they are $300. I will have the boat for many years so i can kind of justify spending the money on something to keep it in nice condition.

Thanks MM

I have only heard good things about it. I am looking for the same protection but I don't have a receiver hitch. So I am looking at the Bow Buddy protector.

I've heard only good things as well, as long as you don't travel on gravel. Main thing, with any set-up (whiskers or flaps) is to have them at the correct height (IE- distance from the road with your trailer on the truck).

I've researched this extensively, and even though I haven't gone this route, if you travel on gravel, best set-up is a good receiver mounted mud / rock flaps (Road Wing makes a good one that can be custom cut to get right height) and a trailer mounted protector (TrailerTux, RockNocker or Bow Buddy).

Over the road, the Towtector is okay, but lotta $$ for something cheaper rubber flaps will do. I've seen a few melted by exaust pipes as well, if you have 'em coming out the back. good luck...
