The C.E. Smith Bunk Board Guide-On is a 5 foot carpeted board on 1.5 inch pre-galvanized uprights, angled out at 75 degrees.
Board guide-ons work differently from post guide-ons. A post marks where the trailer is, and a board actually contacts the hull and pushes it toward center as the boat comes on. That is what makes them the answer in wind or a side current, where a boat crabs across the trailer instead of tracking straight.
The 75 degree angle is what does the centering. Vertical boards would simply stop a boat, and angling them out turns sideways drift into a correction. Carpet over the board protects the hull finish, and pre-galvanized uprights are coated before fabrication rather than after. Explore more trailer guides and bunks.
