I cut the according to the instructions, and they fit my Alpha One Gen II great.

Well they fit on the out board engin where the hydraulic bar for lifting the engin up and keep it up its a sport for the engin for when you driving the trailer with the boat on and I think it's standard fit

I have Merc. Alpha 1 outdrive. They are made to fit perfectly on the one I have. I don't need to cut or modify anything. Love it.

I purchased these for my Mercury Alpha One outdrive. They snap right over the hydraulic rod and have a curved cutout at one end to fit the back attachment point. Work exactly as expected for my application.

The ones I bought just had a long hook that relied on the cables self tensioning feature to keep them from bouncing off. I see the newer ones appear to have a closure on the hook. Mine work fine. So well in fact that I have not even touched the spares that I bought at the time. I loan out the trailers in my business and have had these cables in place for years. No more worn through chains or cables. They're GREAT! I don't care where they're made. BUY THEM. You wont be sorry.

Works great on my trailer with torsion axles with 6 lug 15" wheels for my 27 foot boat. You just have to be real careful you don't drive off of it as there is not a very big cradle so it's easy to do. It will get jammed in between the wheels.

HALEY, you might want to check and see if there are any clips that are larger than this is. I imagine there are some. I will look at them for you as well.Judy

I have a Lance 1685 and this cover works great. It is long in the front so I cover the tongue jack and the battery box. My trailer is 21 feet bumper to the front on the hitch / tongue.

I took a measuring tape and the longest each rod piece could be is 2'9" you might get away ith 2'10" the reels won't fit on the rods when in the upper rod holder divider compartments. You could remove the dividers in the bottom section which would allow the reels enough room to be on the rod. This is basically made for rods that break down into 3 pieces more for like fly fishing. I have a couple of rods that convert from fly to casting that fit in this but I can't have the reels attatched which is a bit of a pain. I may try my suggestion to you and try storing the rods with the reels attatched in the bottom and remove the dividers (if possible) for the rods out of the upper to use for other fishing gear. Hope this helps :)

It does not fit "ANY" pedal. I had a set of pedals that it did not fit. I don't know about your particular application but the pedal must have two holes on on side to attach the clip with screws. Some pedals have these holes under a reflector which can be removed so that the clip can be attached and that works well but some pedals have a recess where the reflector mounts and that prevents the clip from attaching correctly. In addition, I have found that for myself these clips are too short and one of them seems to be improperly made so that it forces my foot to point in the wrong direction when pedaling. This is causing some strain on my knee. I have ordered a different set from Avenir which seem to be better made (and are a little more expensive). I have not received them yet so I cannot comment on their quality.

I ordered a set of these for my 16' Lund...it has 1 & 1/2" rails (across the top). The clamps open to max 1 & 7/8" and measure 3 inches wide (from bow to stern) and seem to work just fine. You must clamp them down hard since they seem to tip when catching large fish but definitely won't come off the boat!

Hi Leonard There is a hook just like the one in the picture at the other end for securing to the trailer. And yes; you can cut off the loose end of the strap if you wish, although I am not really sure why you would want to make the strap proprietary (much less versatile) instead of keeping it in a versatile (able to be used for many applications) condition. the bottom line here is that it is your strap and you can shorten it if you wish.

Call me captain obvious, but have you contacted the manufacturer?If somehow you got the wrong clips, they can send you the proper ones.I had no trouble assembling my unit.

Without taking mine off which i dont want to do because its fitted so well, from memory i'd say internal cylinder length about 5cm (50mm) or 2 inches, internal diameter between 1 and half to 2cm (15 to 20mm), it also has a varietey of plastic nylon caps to fit most gear sticks. Overall external is the same size as a real magnum bullet chamber, with the bottom beiing what goes over the gearstick, i would advise a small bit of superglue on the fitting cap to ensure a snug fit, overall i could see it fitting all cars and pick up trucks (mines on a pick up truck). Larger vehicles i.e. lorrys i'd measure the gear rod first, hope this helps, i've been happy with mine.

It is hard to tell, the jack when retracted still leaves the tail to far down. On my unit we had to shim 2inches to get clearance. This is a food vending trailer hooked to a Tundra so there is not a lot of drop when the trailer is attached. However we have to still be careful of large dips in the road, Great jack, works smooth and lifts a nose heavy unit so I live with the problem.

I think the lip sits so high because of where the clamp is. It is positioned in the center of the front and rear sections. I've tried making the clamp on the front tighter and it doesn't help. I've had the cover on my truck for a year now and it has always been like that. Its the only complaint I have. And as far as the clips not fitting I'm not sure what you mean. They just kinda hook under the lip inside the bed. They don't really lock in or anything. I'm sorry if I'm not getting what you mean by that. I kinda decided to look over the front sticking up a little bit because of the price. This was the cheapest one of this kind I could find and it seems to be holding up well.

I didn't know for sure but I thought it would work. so I asked on a couple of fishing forums im on. the answer I got says it will work with the Volvo penta outdrive. I used another type plate and took off without raising the plate and it bent so bad it wouldn't slow my boat down. I put the easy troller on my boat and ended up doing the same thing. I took off with the plate still down. it worked just like it was supposed to. it didn't bend like the other type plate I had used. but to answer your question the people I asked said yes it will work.sherman

Hi Cheryl, This is a very well made product! I am not sure what transom you plan on mounting this on, but I have an inflatable Achilles 12ft boat. I load everything including 115lb outboard and sometimes take the boat down some pretty rough paths to get to the water. I need something that won't break while going over branches, mud, etc. Then, when you get to the lake, just raise the wheels. They will lock upright in 2 different positions. Just take your time while determining where to mount them the brackets on your boat, the directions are good. You shouldn't pull your boat with your vehicle; not sure why you would be worried about the hub or tire. They should last for years. Check air once a season; like all tires, they tend to needing slight filling once a year. Very simple to raise and lower; spring loaded slots. And yes, pull the lock pin on each wheel and you can remove them. I am very critical on alot of poor Amercian engineering and spent alot of my life repairing things. I like the best in what I buy and would recommend this highly to you. You won't find any better. Enjoy!

I think it is to small. You may get it to work. Ive found most of them are very close in size but the clips are the trick. Getting them to work

For me I have found that the best fit, feel, and the best response is using a 7' fast or extra fast rod. That's just me. Brand of rod is a personal preference thing......Daiwa or G-Loomis.
