This high quality Aluminum Boat Trailer V Guide Kit utilizes a Stoltz center roller and PVC arms to make up a corrosion proof, premium guide for your freshwater or saltwater boat trailer. The U Bolts, U Bolt Hardware (flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts), Roller Shaft, and Cotter Pins are all Stainless Steel, so this kit is ready to weather the harshest marine environments. The frame of the v guide and the included U-Bolt plates are constructed with sturdy 1/4" thick aluminum, perfect for a wide range of different sized boats and trailers. This Kit is Designed to Fit Around 3 x 3 inch crossmembers with the included Stainless Steel U Bolts and Aluminum U-Bolt attachment plates. You just need to clamp the two 2" x 2" sections to your boat trailer crossbar and set the guide at your preferred height! You can refer to our handy installation photos as well for a quick reference on how you should install the kit.
This kit is intended for 3 x 3 crossmembers.
The 12 inch Stoltz Poly Keel Roller is designed to assist you in loading the boat onto the trailer, to help give you that extra push and line up your boat. The Stoltz material is made of the Highest Quality Polyurethane that has been tested and proven to outlast "poor quality" poly rollers, it will not mark or mar your boat and it will not dry rot from sun exposure. The PVC guide arms will assist in keeping your boat centered onto the roller when loading and unloading your boat onto the trailer as well.
The Parts in this kit will not rust from saltwater corrosion, but this kit would ideally be mounted on aluminum crossmembers to Prevent Galvanic Corrosion from mixing Aluminum + Galvanized Steel in Saltwater.
Ideally, you want this V support to make contact with the hull of the boat when installing, but it is not necessary in every application. The amount of support and height level really depends upon your particular needs. We would suggest that you first install the v guide at a determined height. When you take your next boat trip, take note of the process of loading your boat. Do you need more height, or less height? The goal of this product is not only to help guide your boat towards the center of your trailer, but also help the bow of your boat reach the desired height to make contact with your winch stand. There is not necessarily a correct adjustment rule standard, you simply have to test fit a height and adjust from there. Upon first use, take it slow, paying attention to the moment when your Bow Guide is contacted, to see the effect it has on the boat. At that point, decide if you need more or less support for the boat to reach the ideal loading position. Also, keep in mind that steeper ramps will change the dynamics of loading. It is always recommended to load your boat at a safe speed to prevent any damage to your gel coat and trailer parts.
