It’s time for your “pre-season tune up” for your boat trailers guides! Before heading out with your boat for the first time this spring, take a few minutes to do a quick safety check with your boat trailer guides.
- Check the fastenings and hardware to make sure they didn’t loosen over the winter. Even if you weren’t using them, they can loosen over time.
- Look for fatigue on your boat trailer guides. Fatigue can occur from rough handling, age, or simple wear and tear.
- If you’re using the same boat as last year, there’s probably no need to readjust them. If you’ve purchased a new boat, you may need to readjust the guide ons even if using the same trailer.

The Benefits of Using Boat Trailer Guides
Boat trailer guides are especially useful for boaters who take their boat in and out of the water every time they take their watercraft out for a spin. There’s nothing worse than trying to get your boat up and onto your trailer while there’s a line of anxious, annoyed people waiting for their turn. Boat trailer guides make it easier to move your boat quickly out of the water and onto your trailer so that you can get in and out in no time at all. Although they’re not technically necessary, most people do find them to be a time saver.
If you’re using your boat in freshwater, you can use any metal for the guide ons. If you’re using your boat in saltwater, choose a galvanized finish. Galvanized metal withstands exposure to salt water better and holds up to corrosion and rust. Foam or pads can be added to the guide ons to protect your boat’s hull from scrapes, too.
All of our boat guide ons are made in the U.S.A. We’ve found that the American made products last longer and provide better value over time for our customers.
