Each post telescopes upward as the trailer sinks into the water, adding extra visible height above the waterline so the operator has a clear target to steer between. The post is built from 1-1\/2 inch, 16-gauge galvanized steel square tubing that extends fully into a 2 in. By 20 in. PVC sleeve for added strength, and each post is capped with a bright orange end for clear targeting in low light or glare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounted between the pontoons on the trailer cross members, this guide-on adjusts to an overall height of 24 in. To 36 in. As the trailer rises and falls in the water. It fits trailer frames 2 in. By 2 in., 3 in., or 4 in., covering the most common pontoon trailer cross member and frame sizes. The set is sold as a pair and includes all mounting hardware needed for installation, so no separate hardware purchase is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tie Down Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86468\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pontoon Boat Trailer Guide-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 inches to 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePVC Post Sleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches by 20 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Tubing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inch, 16-gauge galvanized steel square tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Trailer Frames:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches, 3 inches, or 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Cap Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e PVC and galvanized steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, all mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 081628864687\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits trailer frames 2 in.
