Build extremely strong. These are actually build better than the boat trailer itself

Order came early, which was great. No instructions, but installation is very easy. Brace did prevent using a socket on one nut.Guides made retrieving boat simple. No struggling to line up the boat with the trailer.Much less expensive than guides offered by the trailer manufacturer and those sold at large boat stores.

These are the best. For years I had the rear end of my tritoom slip out of position when taking the boat out of water. After these were installed it instantly solved the problem. They are awesome Easy to install and sturdy. I would definitely buy these once again

I like these. That are much bigger than what came with my pontoon. They reach right up to the bottom of the pontoon when on trailer. I bought them thinking they would help me load the pontoon onto trailer. I was wrong. I still can’t see them when loading. I went to a 5 foot trailer guides that attach to the back corners of the trailer. They still outside the water so I can land pontoon onto the trailer. Still they are of good quality and install easy. They just didn’t serve my purpose.

My pontoon has lifting strakes that keep the bottom of the toons from resting in the center of the trailer bunks... (shown in one of the photos). Because of this, the rear of the pontoon wants to float off to one side causing the toon to be off center when loading sometimes. After resetting the center guide-ons that came with the trailer and adding these Extreme Max Trailer Guide-Ons - problem solved. My wife was able to nail the landing first try! No more 'Sorry for what I yelled at you while loading the boat' from her! These will also come in handy when trying to load on windy days or a lot of wake at the ramp.Very well made and and extremely easy to install. Also, be sure to measure the top of your mounting rail to the bottom of your deck before ordering. You need about +30" of clearance. You will need to be sure to have an open-end wrench in addition to your other tools because the two nuts nearest the angle support brace are too close for using a deep socket. I used a Ratcheting Open Ended Wrench that helped a lot. Dry fit everything first before making your final tightening.**The units I received had heavy gouges on the plastic guide-ons as others have reported. They didn't appear to be used or ever mounted. I contact Extreme Max and they are sending me a new set of covers. Great customer support.... Thanks you Eric!

These are exactly what the doctor ordered to make sure the boat loads on the trailer easily, every time. Well made and fit under the pontoons enabling a great guide for loading the boat.

I have had a hard time with getting my pontoon boat on to my trailer. The front would line up well but the trailer tended to be a little steep and deep and the back end of the boat would scoot off to the side when I tried to increase the throttle to get on the trailer. Usually resulted in several attempts and always had to do a side push out of water after to get good position. This time fairly windy and one try with perfect position! Great product that works as advertised and worth every penny to me!!!

The hardware was a perfect fit for my trailer. Initially I installed a set at the rear of the trailer and noticed a great improvement loading boat so I opted to install a second set up front. In rough water it was a challenge to load my 25' pontoon on the trailer without a lot of muscle pushing and pulling the boat into place. Thanks for an awesome product, it has made our outings more pleasurable, not fighting with the boat at the end of a great day on the water.

These guides were easy to mount on my pontoon boat trailer as there is a rear crossmember mounted on the inside of the pontoons I used them with 4 foot long outside mounted bunks these guides assure that the boat sits down onto the bunks when pulling out of the water some reviews say these are not very well made and flimsy that is not my impression or experience I load /unload my boat by floating it onto and off the trailer not ram jamming it on under power in my case these could have been 6” /8”longer so they would stick up out of the water I plan to add to the crossmember to raise them up

The product seems sturdy and fits well once you cut it at the desired length. I wished there would have been more information about the measurements and instructions as to install these at what distance from the pontoon for example.

Bought a set last fall, and they worked like a charm for loading. They actually sit about 2” ABOVE the floor. However, the angle of the trailer on the launch gives me plenty of clearance.Just bought a second set. They were obviously too tall to sit on the middle crossbar, but there is another cross bar that houses the axle. It’s about 10” lower. They fit there, and with the same adjustment for the boat angle at the launch, should work perfectly. I’ll let everyone know.ETA: I have now landed my pontoon approximately 4-5 times. Was able to land it on the first try EACH time. I will say that I noticed a small dent in the front left pontoon. Not sure if it was always there, but could have come from the action of the boat as it hits the guides, and straightens on the bunks.As far as a review. I have had zero problem launching or landing my pontoon since I put them on (which wasn’t the case before). Haven’t tried to do it with wind or a current yet, but I think they will help immensely. Love this product!UPDATE (9/14/20) - I now have 6-10 launches/recoveries under my belt. Of course launches have never been a problem. Its the recovery that can be a challenge. I think I may have had to make two passes twice. Otherwise, every other one has been on the first try. I will provide one tip. Figure out a reference point for the guide when you're steering the boat. I now know that the guide needs to go "directly under": where I am standing/sitting. If I do that, I can recover the boat without touching the guides. I wonder whether I should provide a little more space between the guides and the pontoons. Right now, they are about 2-3" apart when the boat is on the trailer.

Admittedly I have not used this heavily as of this time. I bought 2 pairs, installed 1 set on rear and another towards the front.The front was too tall when taking the boat off the trailer - I don't know the details of what happened, but they hung on the support. This caused a bit of cosmetic damage to the plastic, but the steal either flex or the boat was not hung that hard - either way the guides did not bend.Ease of installation? After showing my 10 y/o how to install one, he did the other 3. I snugged up the nuts, but otherwise, it was pretty straight forward once you decide on the positioning. Don't over tighten since it's soft steel.Yeah, I think they are pricey - but all of them are and these are quite useful/more affordable than some options out there.
