Will CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons # CE27600 Help Line a Boat Up On a Trailer In Windy Conditions

Question

Question:

I am looking to buy a 2 foot or 5 foot boat trailer bunk guides. I have an 18 foot Maxum inboard/outboard boat. With our winds and uneven boat launches it is almost impossible to get boat on trailer centered. Even with my easyloader trailer. I am wondering if your product is sturdy enough to center my boat on my trailer.

The CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons # CE27600 that you referenced will help you line your boat up on your trailer in windy conditions. As long as you aren't slamming into them they won't bend and will work well. The arms are made of galvanized steel so they are pretty strong.

Yes, you can change the angle of the bunks in the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons #CE27660. The brackets that hold the bunk boards are bolted to the tops of the posts so once the angle needed is set you would tighten those bolts to keep that angle.
