guide poles
 
Sir: If you will advise an email address, I will send you some photos. I made some removeable poles using 2 inch recevers, square tubing and PVC pipes covered with carpet. They ride on the front of the trailer when not in use. I do not know how to post photos onto this site.

Nope. But, I have never had an issue loading my 311 on my Eagle. First time, every time, regardless of wind. Now, if I were at some wickedly steep ramp, I would probably have issues. But, on a normal ramp, paying attention to how far in I sink the trailer, I never have an issue. I love this trailer.

Who makes the best, sturdiest, nicest looking roller trailer guide-ons for centering the back of the boat when trailering? Thanks for your opinions.

If you're just looking for something to help you get the boat centered, I have another possibility for you. I use a very steep ramp. My wife could never tell if the boat was centered or not until I was already out of the water and it's very easy to get my boat on crooked. I got tired of backing in again to fix it. So, I devised a visual aid for my wife using industrial nylon strip brushes from tanisinc.com. The first 3 outings so far this season, she has centered the boat the 1st time. They really help. I mounted the brushes so they are centered on the edge of the boat. She knows that if the brushes are under the boat, it's too close to her and, if she sees daylight behind the brushes, it's too far away.

i have no idea what you're talkin bout with the brushes.

As I pull the boat and trailer out of the water, my wife is able to align the edge of the boat to the brush. It's a fixed reference point. We're now 4 for 4 on getting the boat centered.
