Rock guards?

Looking for a rock guard to help protect the boat while towing. Just looking for a few reviews of what guys have, what they like or dislike about them. Thanks

IMO, they don’t work. I’ve got large mud flaps plus a set of Rock Tamers and was still getting lots of chips. Getting a bra for the boat was the only thing that has really helped.

You need to get the bristle ones, I have ran them all and if they are made of rubber, rocks will bounce off of them and chip. The bristle style ones work great beings they catch rocks better. Any rock guard or oversized mud flap must be trimmed as to not touch the ground or they will flip rocks up onto your trailer. Just my experience.

It doesn’t stop everything but IMO the towtector brush works best. If you drive a lot of gravel the boat bra probably is the best.

I had Towtectors a few years ago. I just got a new rig last summer and I bought KWIK PFYT brush type flaps. So far I really like them. Might want to check them out.

Made my own extra wide , I think they help a lot , slowing down on the gravel also makes o difference.

KWIK PFYT are what i own and the best i have found. get the double brushes for a little bit extra $ and they are near impenetrable by rocks.

Rock guards do not work at all… Towtectors when properly sized work awesome! Also work great for protecting wheelhouse or trailer in the winter.

Thanks for the quick info guys.

I did get the double brush option. So far so good.

The bra would protect the boat but doesn’t help the trailer.

I like the towtectors. Work great

KWIK PFYT out of business? Any information I find on them is very old.

I agree with Superdave, I have Towtectors on my truck and motorhome and haven’t been real impressed. One thing they will do is collect snow and sand and melt off in the garage creating a mess.

I had a Towtector but didn’t like it, so I ended up making one that I designed. Made it Fairly cheaper and it is much more durable. I was also able to get it the exact height and width that I wanted it for optimum boat and trailer protection. It looks sweet as well. It stays down where it should be when traveling 70 mph down the highway and it doesn’t look like you are dragging a broom down the road.

Kris do you have any pictures of the one you built?

I sent you a private message
