The CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons, # CE27660, were not designed for pontoon boats, but you may be able to make them fit depending on the design of your trailer frame. Since most pontoon boat trailers use guide-ons inside of the bunks, you will want to make sure you have room for them with your boat on the trailer. It would be best if your trailer had a frame rail under the bunk boards that ran parallel to them. Keep in mind, these are guide-ons only, not bunk board supports. I spoke with my contact at CE Smith and she told me they have not tested these guide-ons with a pontoon boat.

If you just need a guide-on, a better option may be the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-on for Pontoon Boat Trailers, # CE27670. This guide-on mounts to frame rails that run perpendicular to the bunk boards, so you can mount them at the rear, middle or front of the trailer.
