X 2 in. Or 2 in. X 4 in. Cross Members - 86465","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tie Down Engineering 86465 Pontoon Trailer Guide-On helps steer a pontoon boat into alignment as it loads onto the trailer, reducing the guesswork and side-to-side drift that can happen during retrieval. Each post is built from square, 16-gauge galvanized steel for corrosion resistance and long-term strength, then sleeved in non-marking PVC so the post cannot scuff or scratch the pontoon hull during contact. The PVC sleeve is capped with a bright orange end cap, giving the operator a clear, high-visibility target to line up on from the driver's seat or dock, even in low light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 86465 guide-on is designed to fit trailer cross members measuring 2 in. By 2 in. Or 2 in. By 4 in., and all necessary mounting hardware is included, so it can be installed directly onto a compatible pontoon trailer frame without sourcing separate bolts or brackets. The galvanized steel construction and PVC sleeve combination is built to hold up to repeated exposure to fresh and salt water, sun, and the everyday wear of boat loading and launching.\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 86465\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pontoon Trailer Guide-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16-gauge galvanized steel, square tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-marking PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Cap Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross Member Fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 in.
