What type of Trailer Guides do YOU use?

[jgruberman]

Pics? What type of trailer guide on system do you use for your pontoon? What works best for you in what dock/wind conditions, etc? I'm in the market for a new guide system... currently using an outside bumper guide, but it got bent so debating if there is a better/easier solution.

I just put a set of these on my new Bennington's trailer. Game changer, especially if there is any kind of breeze. Some guys take the guide poles off after adding the guides, I just haven't got around to it yet and it works fine with them.

Here is a good thread on the subject.

Trailer Guides

our Bennington has the funky poles at the rear of the trailer on the outmost sides of the logs. It kinda sucks in that it doesn’t really help line the boat up at all. I want to go to the rails between the outer and center logs. Who in Havasu know what they are doing in this regard and won’t...

^^^ Those are the ones to have. I only pull the toon once a year so I don't worry about guides. If I was launching and retrieving all the time, I would have guides put on the trailer. The lack of draft, and the reaction to wind makes a toon more difficult to load than a glass boat. They tend to float around on top of the bunks even if the trailer is shallow.

I assume they'd be the same guides for only two pontoons, just without the middle tri-toon bunk?

My sun tracker OEM trailer has guides similar to the ones pictured above and they work great for lining the boat up.

Our Bennington trailer. The guides work great!
