While it is partially under water, the one in back is actually the most important. If the boat is off center, it will put it back to center and we all know they have to be aligned to get on the trailer.

The more the better.

If it is just you and your wife, try to put the trailer next to the dock on the windward side and put it on by hand. The guides make it easier to get the boat parallel and then push it on.

Default Skater Trailer

Thanks again Rik. i will make sure to order a third Guide. I couldn't use the dock last time at Lake Mead because of the low water the dock is only on one side and it was the opposite for what I needed due to the wind. The Marinas at Lake Mead are slim pickens. the water level is at a 45 year low. Over 120' low. There are a few marinas we use to launch at that you can't even use anymore.

This is a great thread. I have been thinking about doing this to mine. When I was at the show this weekend one of the trailers also had a walk way down the middle of the trailer. Would the walk way help at all? Has anyone done this yet?

Thanks
Don

They come on the new trailers at no extra charge.

They are welded on so anyone can add these, a piece of 2x4 and some carpet and you will have the same thing.
