    Any problem with bunk guide ons not spaced out?

    What is the negatives of installing bunk guide ons leaving no space between the bunk and hull? It's not actually tight on the hull just slightly touching it. I can still move the guide on so I would assume there isn't much pressure there... *Note I have a trailer setup so the hull sits on...
