Guide poles are essential for backing down into a boat ramp and loading your boat onto a trailer. Host John Greviskis explains how to install a set onto your trailer. After measuring the width of the boat, add six inches to each side to get the proper width for installing the guide poles. - Insert two "U" bolts into the frame of the trailer (figure A). Tighten the nuts slightly by hand.
- Next, slide the elbow shaped aluminum into place (figure B), making sure it goes through the 'U' bolt.
- Tighten down the nuts on the "U" bolt with a 7/16" socket.
- Place the PVC uprights over the aluminum pole (figure C).
- Repeat these steps for the second guide pole.
