It was suggested to me to buy guides to mount on my trailer to make it easy to load. Which type do you have and how do they work for you? Do either mark up the boat?<br />Thanks
SkippersMinnow,<br /><br />The best thing to do first is to:<br /><br />1. Buy the trailer that cradles the boat correctly, yet is as low to the gound as possible-lower height means easier launch.<br /><br />2. The side guides should be as close the the hull, without rubbing, as possible.<br /><br />3. The side guides should not be higher than the gunnels.
