I am wanting to install some post guide ons on my jon boat trailer but im not sure if they will work. My trailers frame is 1" wide and 3" tall. Will the post guide ons have enough trailer to hold on to or will i have to make my trailer wider. Thanks in advanced any advice welcome
 
I guess it would depend on which kit you get.

Personally I don't like them, I load my boat with the bow rope, made a center walkway so I can walk down the axle. Used UHMW on bare pine 2x4 bunks and I just installed a pair of plastic barrel fenders.

Hoping to test the new setup tonight.

After battling with mine in chest high waters in the fierce winds. I just installed some mini bunk trailer guides on my trailer. Looks like it will make loading a breeze. My trailer frame is 1 1/2" by 3" tall.

Here's a set I made for a buddy with a Ranger Cherokee and a 90/65 jet because well, a jet don't steer so well and the PO took out the fender... Just added carpetted 2x4 bunks and it's worked out well vs. a 1500lb hull.
