Abstract: A rock guard comprises a flexible sheet of mesh selectively wound around a spool to be selectively retracted and deployed in front of a trailer or its contents, such as a boat. A pair of brackets mount to a rail of trailer and carry the spool. A top distal edge of the sheet can be flexible and arcuate in the deployed configuration to form an arc matching a gunwale of the boat.
Abstract: A windshield cover and method for protecting a windshield of a towed vehicle, such as a boat, can be removably secured over the windshield when being pulled on a trailer. The cover matches the size and shape of the windshield and is flexible to conform to a curvature of the windshield. The cover has a soft, cushion layer and a waterproof and oil-resistant and non-absorbent material. The cover can have bifurcated panels with a partition corresponding to a passthrough of a boat windshield.
