Australian made · Since 2007
Fits your trailer. Not your truck.
A rock guard that bolts across your boat trailer’s A-frame — standing between your tow vehicle’s rear tires and your bow.
What are you towing?
Four taps, no tape measure. This tells us what a chip does to your hull — and whether we can fit your trailer at all.
Ours run $1,511 to $2,995 by length. Built for bunk and roller boat trailers.
How long is your boat?
Hull length — don’t count the trailer tongue or the outboard. It’s on your state registration.
How wide is your boat at its widest?
Beam — it’s on your registration and in your model’s spec sheet. This sets the guard width and the rear bracket.
Any answer works, and nothing here changes your price.
Or text a photo of your trailer’s front end to (385) 560-6792 — a person will tell you yes or no, free.
Which one looks like the front of your trailer?
Any answer works. It tells us where the guard mounts — it does not change your price.
We don’t have a guard for that rig.
What we can do instead
Text or email a photo of your trailer’s front end and we’ll tell you straight whether anything we build will work on it — including if the answer is no. It costs nothing and we won’t put you on a list.
We’d rather turn you away here than sell you something that doesn’t fit and make you freight it back.
Bolts across your trailer’s A-frame — between your tow vehicle’s rear tires and your bow.

Confirmed
Still to check
One tap at the review step, or we’ll ask before we ship. You don’t need a tape measure to order.
We picked this from your four answers — a size-table result, not an upsell. If it’s wrong for your rig, that’s ours to fix. We don’t fit every rig: pontoon scissor trailers and anything over 28 ft get turned away at question one.
Nothing is added at checkout.
Where it goes
The guard bolts across your trailer’s A-frame, standing between your tow vehicle’s rear tires and your bow. Your truck throws gravel backward and up. The mesh takes it. Nothing touches the hull.
The thing you’re probably comparing this to is a rubber flap that hangs off your truck’s hitch. A flap catches what comes straight down off the tire; your bow gets hit by what comes off at an angle. That isn’t an argument that flaps are junk. They’re doing their job — protecting your truck. Nothing on your truck was ever going to protect the thing behind it.
Fitted in your driveway
- 0 holes drilled. It clamps to the trailer with galvanized U-bolts.
- 2 wrenches. No welding, no cutting, no permanent change to your rig.
- Fully reversible. It bolts to the trailer, so when you sell the boat it stays with you.
See how it fits, deflects and comes off again.
What’s in the box
One thing worth knowing: your ships with the standard rear U-bolt, which fits rear cross-members up to about 5 in tall. If yours is taller it needs the bigger one — text us a photo and we’ll confirm before we ship.
When it arrives
It leaves Melbourne within 1–3 business days, then travels FedEx International Priority, door to door, with tracking emailed when it ships.
If it doesn’t fit
Text or email us a photo of your trailer’s front end before you open the box and we’ll tell you straight whether it will fit. That check is free and it’s the fastest way to be sure.
Returns: 60 days from delivery, unused and uninstalled, in the original packaging. Email us first and we’ll send the return address. Change-of-mind and wrong-size return freight is yours; if we shipped the wrong part or it arrived damaged, it’s ours. Full terms →
Who makes it
The mesh is the wear part. When it eventually goes you re-panel it — you don’t re-buy the guard. Replaceable panels, YKK zips, spares stocked, three-year frame warranty.
Melbourne, Australia. Same shop since 2007. It’s made there because that’s where the tooling and the welders are. That’s also why it’s about two weeks and not two days.
What we can and can’t show you
We have zero US reviews and zero US orders. You would be among the first. We’d rather tell you than let you find out.
- Maxwell & Higgs North America Inc., Tampa, Florida — a registered Florida corporation.
- A US support line, (385) 560-6792, and sales@d-flector.com. A person answers both.
