When it comes to guide-ons, like the part # CE27670 that you referenced, it actually is all up to you. If you check out some of the photos that customers have uploaded on the product page you can see that some people have maybe 4" of space between the pontoon boat and the guide-on while others have it right next to the pontoon boat. They really are mounted according to preference.

Answer 7

We actually have a boat guide on that was designed for pontoon boat trailers with the part #CE27670 which is better designed for the frame styles of pontoon boat trailers. The #CE27760 wouldn't work as it would need a different frame style.
