    One of the better buys for my pontoon boat! My trailer is so long and I have to submerge it far beneath the water in order to get my 24' pontoon boat on it. I was having a hard time lining the toons up with the runner boards on the trailer. After purchasing the post guide on's there is no more guessing...it's right on the first time!

                    Comments about Tie Down Engineering Tie Down Post Guide-Ons, 60" High:

                    This guide-on system did exactly what I had hoped it would do. I have a Pontoon/deck boat that weighs 3,600 lbs and on windy days it is hard to load on the trailer. This system guided my pontoon/deck boat on the trailer and centered it perfectly. The only problem I had and it was more of an inconvenience, was that my trailer frame is larger so I had to buy longer bolts.
