Location: Fergus Falls, MN | I had them on my roller trailer for my Lund and I really came to like them. They were a big help in getting the boat on straight and helping you in a crosswind.
I was thinking about getting some put on my RangerTrail until I had the chance to load that boat in an evil crosswind my 2nd time out in the new boat. It still loaded like a dream. So as much as I liked them on my other trailer I see no need for them on my current trailer.
If your boat can be a pain to load, even in good conditions, you will appreciate them. If your trailer is custom matched to your hull, I wouldn't bother.

Location: Kaukauna WI | Trailer guide ons are also nice while backing up empty to load the boat, as they make it easier to keep track of where the trailer is. Depending on your tow vehicle of course. |

| I have them on my Eagle bunk trailer. They came standard. They are not needed on this trailer. The boat loads perfectly everytime. If they were an option, I wouldn't get them again. |

| For roller trailers, yeah , something needs to keep the boat something near controlled  :)
On larger trailers with bunks, the bunks will center the boat...unless... you back in too deep. Or... if 4' whitecaps are rolling across the ramp sideways while you are trying to drive on. I hate it when THAT happens! I try hard to avoid ramps where that is any possibility at all. |
