Roller Style Guide-Ons Compatible with a Pontoon or Tritoon

Question

Question:

Your description says that it can be used for power boats or sailboats, pontoon/tritoons are not mentioned. Can they be used for a tritoon on a bunk trailer? Thanks

You would not want to use the Ark Ezi-Guides Self-Aligning Boat Trailer Loading System # AR74FR for a pontoon or tritoon. This is because of the installation style and function. I have included a picture that demonstrates how these guides work, and you can see why they would not be compatible with a pontoon or tritoon.

However, we do have a system that will work.
