LED LIGHTED POST GUIDE-ONS
UNLIGHTED POST GUIDE-ONS
For maximum benefit when loading your boat, mount the posts as far back
on the trailer frame as possible and as close to the boat as possible. The
widest place on each boat is different. Most Jon boats are widest at the transom while
many V-hulls are widest nearer the middle. Post guide-ons are most effective when mounted as
close to the boat as possible while still allowing the widest point of the boat to pass between the posts.
Tools: #2 Phillips screwdriver, pliers, 1/8" drill, 9/16" Deep socket.
DOES NOT REPLACE MANDATED TRAILER LIGHTS.
