Pot protectors for your FG boat?
Submitted by Rob H on Tue, 2012-12-11 10:51
anyone got any brilliant ideas to put over your gunnel to protect the fibreglass as you pull pots over?
Only intending to use plastic pots and only thing I can think of is a piece of HDPE bent to sit over the inside and outside?
cheers Rob

Sewerage pipe
Get some of the white sewerage pipe and cut down one side so you can open it up and fit it over the gunwhale. Not only protects your boat but makes it easier pulling the pots because the angle of pull is reduces with less friction.
