The CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers part # CE27600 can be used on any trailer but traditionally they are not used on pontoons. Not saying we do not install them on pontoons. As a matter of fact we used the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers part # CE27660 which is similar to that above on my buddy Shane's pontoon. Check out the linked video.

It seems that most folks like a vertical style guide on in this situation. Something like the CE Smith Bunk Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE27671 work well and help to hold position during loading from inside the pontoons rather than the outside.

Every situation is different and I have used both types. Either way these will save you a ton of hassle getting the boat back on the trailer.
