{"product_id":"lewmar-easy-boat-loading-guide-2022106874-set-of-2","title":"Lewmar Easy Boat Loading Guide, Set of 2, Nylon Trailer Guides","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Lewmar Easy Boat Loading Guide is a set of two black nylon trailer guides that center your boat or PWC as it comes up the ramp. Built for hulls under 1,500 pounds, the kit mounts on four-section adjustable arms with stainless hardware, trailer plates, and sealant, so solo launching and retrieving stops being a two-person job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoading a small boat or PWC onto a trailer by yourself can turn into a wrestling match, especially when there's a crosswind or the ramp's a little steep. The Lewmar Easy Boat Loading Guide takes the guesswork out of it. These are a pair of nylon guides that bolt to your trailer frame and give the hull something to slide against as you back down the ramp, so the boat lines itself up instead of drifting off to one side. Set of two, black nylon, built for boats and personal watercraft under 1,500 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the idea. Each guide is 21 inches long, 5-1\/2 inches wide, and 7 inches tall, mounted on four-section attachment arms that let you dial in the height and reach to match your trailer. Back the trailer in, drive or winch the boat up, and the two nylon faces catch the hull and center it as it comes aboard. No more hopping in and out to nudge the bow over. For anyone who launches and retrieves alone, that's the whole ballgame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit comes complete. You get the two guides, the four-section arms, 1\/4 inch stainless steel nuts and bolts, trailer plates to spread the load where the arms meet the frame, and sealant for the mounting points. The stainless hardware is the right call for a part that lives half-submerged at every launch. Nylon was chosen for the guide faces because it slides clean against gelcoat and aluminum without chewing up the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward if you take your time. The arms bolt through the trailer frame, so you'll drill matching holes and thread the stainless hardware through the trailer plates. Get your two arms spaced evenly, measure twice before you drill, and set the guide faces just inside the widest point of the hull so the boat kisses them on the way up rather than slamming into them. A little lock washer or thread locker on each nut is cheap insurance against trailer vibration backing them loose over a season of towing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese suit single-axle trailers hauling aluminum fishing boats, small center consoles, jon boats, inflatables on a trailer, and PWC setups. If you're running a wider boat trailer with crossmembers in the way, check your frame layout before ordering, since the arms need clear frame to bolt to. On steeper ramps with a heavier hull near the top of that 1,500 pound rating, the nylon can flex a bit under load, so keeping your approach speed sensible helps everything track straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is close to nothing. Rinse the guides with fresh water after saltwater launches, the same as you would the rest of the trailer, and the nylon holds up fine. The factory sealant does the job for the first stretch, but if you trailer in salt a lot, plan on re-sealing the plate edges with a quality marine sealant down the road to keep water out of the drilled holes. Check the nuts every few trips early on until you're sure they've settled in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLewmar's been building marine hardware since 1946, and the same attention that goes into their winches and windlasses shows up here in the small stuff, like stainless fasteners instead of plated steel and a guide profile that won't scuff your hull. It's a simple part that solves a real, annoying problem, and once it's on the trailer you'll wonder how you loaded without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone tired of the two-person load, or the solo boater doing the run-and-jump routine at a busy ramp. It's especially handy on lakes and rivers where a crosswind pushes a light hull sideways the second the trailer's underwater. Who's it not for? Boats over 1,500 pounds, and trailers where there's no clear frame section to bolt the arms to. For those, you'll want a heavier bunk-and-roller guide setup instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet of two nylon guides, 21 in. long by 5-1\/2 in. wide by 7 in. tall, giving the hull a wide face to slide against and self-center on the trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for boats and PWC under 1,500 pounds, ideal for aluminum fishing boats, jon boats, small center consoles, and personal watercraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour-section attachment arms adjust height and reach to fit a range of single-axle trailer frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch stainless steel nuts and bolts resist corrosion at a mount point that gets submerged at every launch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack nylon guide faces slide clean against gelcoat and aluminum without scuffing the hull finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes trailer plates that spread the load where the arms bolt to the frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSealant included for the mounting holes to keep water out on first install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTurns solo loading and retrieving into a one-person job, even in a crosswind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Lewmar reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size boat does the Lewmar Easy Boat Loading Guide fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's rated for boats and personal watercraft under 1,500 pounds.
