Trailer Guide-on Posts
Any recommendations for trailer guide ons? Post, rollers, bunk boards? Scared of cheap stuff, even though I don’t plan on ramming into them. Boat is white aluminum-FYI.

I put the Guide on boards on my trailer for a 1860, got them at academy sports,I bought 8’ treated 2x4s so I could cut to the length I needed and carpeted them, have them adjusted tight so boat lines up perfect every time, makes it easier for one man opp.
I put the roller type post on my 1548 tracker, couple yrs ago, should’ve went with the guide boards,

Hello : I put C E Smith 60" lighted guide posts on my trailer a few years ago. Now I wouldn't have a trailer without them. Great for backing up your empty trailer on steeper ramps especially at night , lets you know exactly where your trailer is. Also adds extra lights when traveling. Also added bow guide ons. I have an aluminum v-bottom boat and they center the boat perfectly on the trailer. You didn't tell us what kind of boat you have . Hope this helps you. Good Luck. O - R

C E Smith 60" lighted guide posts also. Easy to install and really tough.

Have a picture or link to the bow guides you added to your trailer for the V bottom?
Thanks

I have them on my trailer also. Worth their weight in gold when trying to load in a cross-wind!Originally Posted by slowhand

Thanks everyone. I’ve got an 1860 and if I’m off a couple inches the transducer gets in the way. I’ve had bunk boards with different boats but didn’t know how rollers and posts would be. Rollers I think would be best, but don’t want black marks all over the boat. Posts seem like they are just visual help, not so sturdy.

If you want a dead on load with the boat you may want to consider a pair of these guides.
Installed a pair for a 20ft fiberglass walleye boat that sometimes loaded off center on the bunks at the rear depending on the ramp conditions.
After pulling the boat, I would have to put my shoulder into pushing the boat over to drop the boat strakes into alignment with the bunks at the rear end.
Total PIA as it is a heavy boat.
A little pricey but have not missed a load or needed to push the boat into alignment in the past 2 seasons.
