I have another option for you, but the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 60" Long - 1 Pair # CE27600 you were looking at are designed for standard boats and not Tritoons.

Instead I recommend the CE Smith Bunk Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers - 24" Long - 1 Pair # CE27671 which were designed specifically for pontoon boats like yours.

These get mounted to the trailer frame on the inside of the pontoons and work very similar to the other bunk style guide-ons you were looking at.

I included a picture of the # CE27671 installed for you to take a look at.

The YouTube video I watched showed bunk style guides on the outside of a pontoon. I have a 22ft tritoon with double axle trailer and load and u load on the Florida coast (sound and bay side). There are pretty strong currents some days which makes it tough to load as the back end of the tritoon rocks. This makes it tough to line it up correctly. Which bunk style guides do you recommend?

@Mike the # CE27671 here are going to be your best option. They will make it easier to load with strong currents and winds. Initial lineup might still be a bit of a challenge (hard to avoid this) but once you get over the bunks you're set. You can add them to the outside as well if you want, bunks on the inside and outside are possible as long as you have the room to mount them.

@RobinH thank you. Are the #CE27671 able to be mounted to the outside as well as inside?

@MikeS technically you could mount # CE27671 on the outside but they're really designed to be mounted on the inside. More than likely you wouldn't have enough space to get them in the right position for that to work. You're better off using # CE27660 for the outside.

Answer 1

Due to the nature of pontoon boat trailers and the fact that pontoon guides like the part #CE27671 mount vertically and not horizontally you want shorter guides. Check out the picture I attached for more info.

I think the best option for your pontoon boat trailer would be to break the 18' long bunk boards down into three sections which then leaves 6' for each section. The shorter each board is, the more support you will have to a degree which is…

Answer 4

The Bunk Style Guide-Ons #CE27671 are designed specifically for pontoon boats because they're shorter and install vertically. See the picture I've attached. However, depending on your trailer the 60 inch Guide-Ons #CE27600 that install…

For a 300 amp fuse you'll want to use the Installation Kit for Go Power Inverters - 300 Amp Fuse item #342GPDCKIT4 if you need the cable or just the Go Power Inverter Fuse with Block - Class T - 300 Amp item #34244227REVA if you do not.

Answer 9

You should be just fine with the clearances you listed for the CE Smith Guide-Ons part #CE27600. 3 inches would be great for the horizontal clearance between the guide ons and the pontoons and 1-1/2 inches of vertical clearance would be just fine as…

Answer 10

We have a couple of great options for pontoon boat guide-ons. First, if you want to go with a roller-style we have #CE27672. The rubber rollers are designed so that they won't scratch the boat. If you like the bunk style we have #CE27671. The…

The pontoon trailer guide-ons only come in a set of 2 as that is all that is needed, although you can add more if you believe that it is necessary. That all just depends on how confident you are about staying on the right track once you have started…
