<\/a>Do you need a new Jerry Can Holder for your trailer? and don’t want to buy one of those flimsy ones at the shop? Well, now you can make and build a Jerry Can holder of your own with the plans below.<\/span><\/p>\n You will need access to an arc welder and some flat metal bar for this project. But if you take your time it is a fun build.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I thought I would quickly write-up how I made myself a single Jerry can holder for my trailer. The ones at my local boat shop just didn’t cut the mustard.\u00a0<\/span>The local shop-bought ones were flimsy, and not galvanized. Although this Jerry gas can holder<\/a> looks not too bad it’s universal and lockable and built tough.<\/span><\/p>\n It can be used for all boat trailer sizes as well as Sea-doo, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Jetski Dunbier trailers. <\/span>I looked around for plans on the net but didn’t get much so here is my plan.<\/span><\/p>\n You don’t have to have the exact size of metal bar\/angle it’s just what I could get my hands on.<\/span><\/p>\n The flat bar is cut to size just short of 350mm and just short of 180mm.<\/span><\/p>\n I have 2 Jerry cans one metal and one plastic, and both were slightly different sizes. So picked the larger size to fit which was the metal size.\u00a0<\/span>Don’t forget that petrol fumes can pressurize a can and thus swell in size so you don’t want a perfect fit.\u00a0<\/span>I used a cheap welder from my local hardware shop less than $100. Get an auto-dark welding helmet if you can as it frees up one hand.<\/span><\/p>\n The metal I got from a metal fabrication shop, was offcuts for free, I just asked to go through their bin they were cool.<\/span><\/p>\nBUILD\u00a0JERRY CAN HOLDER FOR YOUR BOAT or JETSKI TRAILER<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
