The best guide-ons for a boat trailer are the post-style because they offer you the easiest way to guide your boat on the trailer, and the best of those is the 60 inch tall CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers # CE27760.

These guide-ons give you a complete visual of where the guide-ons are with their LED light on top of the posts, making it really easy to see, particularly if visibility can be an issue like at night or if it's foggy. They are easy to install as well, and fit trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall.

I wasn't able to find the exact size of your Nitro's frame, but from what I saw it looks to have a standard sized frame. If it is a little larger - up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall, you can still use the guide-ons by adding the CE Smith Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416.

The best way to determine the height needed is to measure from the top of your trailer frame to the top of the sides of your boat. If the 40" Tall Guide-Ons #CE27626 sit right at or slightly above the sides of your boat then the shorter will…

According to the parts department at Triton your 2021 Triton LT WCI-X will need the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors #BB1980A-SS. This is due to having a Dexter 2,000lb axle under your PWC trailer. Be sure to use the same grease that you currently…

A Bearing Buddy is a great choice for your 2020 Triton Jetski Trailer. It can often protect you from blowing out the rear grease seal on your hub which would require you to disassemble your hub just to replace the seal. To use the Bearing Buddy…

The Malone MicroSport Trailer #MPG460G uses crossbars like what you would find on the roof of a vehicle instead of bunk boards. This is sold on our site as the Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit #MPG475 and it comes with the mounting hardware. If you are…

Answer 10

It sounds like you'll need to do some fab work in order to get the guide-ons to work. I believe your best bet would be to eliminate the u-bolts and have the brackets welded to the top or the underside of the frame member. If the fender step…
