Question:
Any recommendations on placement for 2 sets? I have a 23’ Tritoon and have some steep ramps in my area.

Hey Ed, there isn't a whole bunch of different ways to the mount the Pontoon Guide Ons part # CE27672 that you referenced. Basically you are limited to where the crossmembers are on the trailer frame and then matching them up to the toons when the boat is on the trailer. Most important is to have them at the rearmost crossmember but it really comes down to what your setup is like and using your best judgment.
I attached a review video for more info on these as well.

Hey Ed, how did the placement of the Pontoon Guide-Ons work out on your Tritoon trailer? I'm curious if mounting them near the rear crossmember gave you the support you needed on those steep ramps. Your experience could help others setting up a similar trailer.
