Can't remember ever having a problem lining up my friends 18' but he

I have seen that Carolina Skiff owners put PCV pipes sticking up on
the trailer sides to act as guides to center the boat.

Guides help with retrieving if you boat in a windy area...such as here most
of the time.



You have a damn rowboat with a tiny OB on back and you need guides?
Real men winch it up and, if it's not perfectly straight, pick up the
ass end and make it straight.
