The Boat Buddy® is designed to be used on boats with U-bolt eyes with drive-on trailers.
If you can drive all the way onto your trailer and stop with the bow eye
right below
your roller or V-block the boat buddy® can replace your 3"- 4" roller or V-block.
The boat buddy® comes in two sizes.
- The original boat buddy® is for boats with 3/8" bow eyes--most boats 21' and under.
- The boat buddy® II is for boats with 1/2" bow eyes--most larger boats.
Of course there are exceptions to every rule. Most boats require an extended length bow eye to allow room to add a winch hook for trailering, or some boats may have a cast bow eye instead of the U-bolt bow eye--so we have included an extended length bow eye in each package. Most bow eyes can be easily changed. Not recommended for Boats with bow angles greater than 40 degrees.
As your boat is driven onto the trailer, the bow eye contacts the boat buddy® and triggers a spring loaded, stainless steel bolt through the bow eye, thereby attaching the boat to the trailer...automatically.
No more wet feet and no more ramp delays while you crank your boat onto your trailer. Boat Buddy allows you to simply drive your boat onto your trailer and the bow-eye contacts the Boat Buddy and triggers a spring-loaded, stainless steel pin through the bow eye. Your boat is automatically locked to your trailer. With Boat Buddy, you just drive on and pull out.
