Hi  We have just purchased a brand new second hand back loading Rhino-Rack boat loader.....and of course there are no instructions for fitting;  and though the Captain is very handy, it would be nice to have a little bit of  extra help.  Does anyone have these instructions or has been clever enough to find them on a website.  Rhino have the PDF instructions for their new side loading unit on their website, but not the previous back loader.
 

I don't have but I seem to recall I had a video showing the operation which may also show how to fit the unit . I think TJM the 4WD specialist are the agents for Rhino racks they may be able to help out

ah!! just spot weld it to the gutters, cuppla tek screws through the roof if it looks like moving, she'll be right, real men and women dont do "instructions"!!! we scoff at such things

Jeez you're a hard man Dave! Some like to use the "instructions" and don't have the technical know-how or tools to do these jobs. Not everyone is as resourceful as you. A mate built his own and it had an electric remote control to make it a one-man operation. All I know is he backed the truck to the back of the tinny, hooked the cable to the bow loop, put a block under the tow hitch to stop the tinny sliding under the truck. Then press the go button with due care, and before you know it you have a tinny on the rack on the roof. It looked simple to me, but I wasn't there for the installation to make it work so smoothly. Good luck! Granny

Just on the net and found a mob called Custom Boat Loaders who have a unit similar that may have a fitting instruction to suit your needs www.customboatloaders.com.au

Dave that is harsh as we all know if at after 20 tries it doesn't work RTFM ( Read the friendly manual ;) )

Les reads the instructions to what ever he buys, puts them somewhere safe, then about 6 months to 3 years later when he wants to use it he can't find it. This is a typical scenario in our house. So Les will try and put it together without the book first...but I end up searching the Internet until I find it, or one day while sorting for something else I find it. So as you can imagine we have lots of boxed unused items...lol I just wish he'd put the instructions back in the box...
