Bunk Style Guide On Recommendation for Boat Trailer With Tandem Axle Fenders

Question

Question:

I am looking into adding bunk style guide ons to my new boat trailer. It is a tandem axle trailer with a step at each end of the fender well. Do you have the guide on kits with an 7 or 8 foot bunk board? The typical 5 feet isnt going to span both wheels. Thanks

One solution could be to install one of the bunks of the CE Smith Bunk Guide Ons # CE27660 in front of and behind the fender wells of your trailer since we don't have any longer than 5 feet like the kit part # CE27600.
