Can the CE Smith Post-Style Guide Ons Withstand Being Bumped Into By the Boat

Question

Question:

I’ve got a 30 ft pontoon. I have trouble loading on windy days. Will these stand the pressure of the boat? I never load very fast, always be as gentle as possible. Thank you.

The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 40" Tall - White - 1 Pair # CE27620 are made from durable 1-1/2" diameter steel posts, and while they're not designed to hold weight they were crafted with the potential for this in mind. You won't have any issues with the boat bumping or pushing up against them while you load it on the trailer.

I've linked a review video of these for you to check out, as well.
