For maximum benefit when loading your boat, mount the posts as far back on the trailer frame and as close to the boat as
possible. The widest place on each boat is different. Most Jon boats are widest at the transom, while many V-hulls are widest near
the middle. Post guide-ons are most effective when mounted as close to the boat as possible while still allowing the widest point
of the boat to pass between the posts.

• Lay one upright across your I-beam
• Straddle a pair of I-beam brackets over the upright as shown
• Hook both brackets fully under the I-beam frame
• Pinch the top of the two brackets together
• Select the bolt length that spans your I-beam and passes
through both brackets far enough to install the nut/washers
and tighten
3- Choose a mounting location.
• Brackets may be mounted above or below the I-beam
• It is best to mount as far back on the trailer as possible
• For more rigidity, mount as close as possible to a frame
cross member
4- Loosely assemble the uprights and brackets to your trailer
frame.
5- Slide PVC posts down over the uprights.
