    I am looking at putting some guide-ons on the trailer. I am looking at the ShoreLand’r Deluxe, the one’s like Cabela’s sells.

    It says it will let you set about 3″ of clearance away from the hull. Question is, how far should I set this clearance? I would assume I should set it as close as possible? How far – 1″, 1.5″,2″,etc?

    Thanks!

    Tight is good, especially for river landings.

    Those guides saved my bacon Saturday night on the Mississippi with the wind and current. Money well spent!! 2″ should do it.

    I set mine tight, but I like it that way. I also taper mine a little, tighter in front. It will depend on how centered you need it for your trailer, if being off 2″ is OK then go for it.
