Question:

I have a 16 ft Lund Tyee, and am looking at adding bunk guides for my trailer it has roller bunks for loading the boat. Im admittedly not the greatest at loading, so Im looking for added stability to keep me straight. Im wondering if the 24" rear bunks are adequate, or should I just go ahead and purchase the 5 foot length?

Expert Reply:

Since you mentioned wanting the most stability and not always being perfect when loading (understandably), I think the longer, 5 foot (60 inch) CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27600 is the best option as it will give you the most stability and assistance in guiding your boat all the way on your trailer.

The 2 foot (24 inch) CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27660 are certainly not something that will be inadequate, but the longer guide-ons are really going to give you the most possible stability to keep your boat in a straight line.

I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well of the 2 foot Guide-Ons # CE27660 and 5 foot Guide-Ons # CE27600.
