Default Posting Guide-on question

For what it's worth, I wouldn't try to use the guides as you propose.
They will interfere with your spring flexion need, and are too far out
to serve you well. If your purpose is to allow easy centering up of the
boat's keel, the guides you show MAY help if they are mounted forward of
the bunks, near or on the A-frame portion of the trailer. That will help
get the bow lined up, and with a nudge of the outboard, you can center
up the stern. A roller to support the keel near the bow will also help.
I can't tell from the photos, but you may be able to mount the guides on
the cross member where the license tag and tail lights are mounted.

As you can see, there isn't enough space coz my trailer is pretty

small.
One side of the mounting bracket is not sitting flat and the other

bracket
is touching the spring of the suspension system.

If I install it the way it is, forcing to tighten the screws do u

will
that be a problem? Actually I have a question about the Spring but it

is
out of topic, I will post it as another thread.

Thanks for help guys.. any suggestions are welcome.

The picture in the link you provided shows the guide mounted

near the
front
of the trailer.
And the text there says, "These rollers mount on the front of

most
A-frame
boat trailers
to prevent the bow of the boat from swinging to either side of

the
trailer"

Do you think your problem with getting the boat centered on the

trailer
is
more
the bow not centering or the stern?
