Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the CE Smith extra long u-bolt kit for boat trailer guide-ons. The extra long u-bolts secure the bunk style, roller style, or post style guide-ons to your boat trailer. These are made from a durable steel construction. They feature a zinc plated design so they're strong and durable and they're also gonna do a great job at resisting rust and corrosion. Now, this part number includes a total of four u-bolts. Other mounting hardware like locknuts and washers are sold separately.
But with this part number you get two formed crossover u-bolts and two straight u-bolts. The formed crossover ones are for those applications where you have to cross over the u-bolts around the trailer frame. So, two of those are include. They could also be used for, you know, going straight over the frame like this. Or you can flip them over and go under the frame.The product's made in the USA.
These u-bolts are designed to fit trailer frames up to three inches wide and five and one quarter inched tall. The inside leg link measuring from the bottom of this cross member right here to the end of the threads, that's six inches. And then the opening, that's the distance between the threaded portion, you'll notice that down here by the threads, it is a little bit wider than what it is here at the top. But down here by the threads, that opening is like pretty close to three and a half inches. But just keep in mind that these are designed to fit trailer frames up to three inches wide by five and one quarter inches tall and the diameter is three eighths of an inch.That's gonna do it for today's look at the CE Smith extra long u-bolt kit for boat trailer guide-ons..

Zinc-plated steel U-bolt kit allows you to attach roller-, bunk-, or post-style guide-ons to your boat trailer with a frame up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall. Includes 2 sets of mounting U-bolts.The Post Guide-Ons arrived quickly and have been installed.
They have not been water tested yet, but look like they will do the trick. Loading the boat on the trailer has been challenging when you can’t tell where you are side to side.
A couple things to consider: The width of the boat relative to the frame of the trailer make the bottom tubes of the guides just barely long enough. I believe it will work, but another inch of tube would be good for my setup. When installing, if you have a deep socket, you won’t have to switch to an open wrench. Other than that, I am very happy with these!
The bolts nut and washers not galvanized already rusting.
I have a welded aluminum boat with extended transom. I really needed some Guide-Ons mounted at the rear of the trailer to ensure that the extended transom centered up on the trailer bunks, as cross currents at the haul out would often skew the boat to one side, and I would need to back down in to the water and re-center. Frustrating when people are waiting in line!!
I got the CE Smith Guide-Ons, but was dismayed when I opened the box and found that the included U-Bolts were not long enough for my 5 inch EZ Loader trailer frame. A quick search of etrailer and I found the solution with the Extra Long Bolt Kit.
Worked perfectly. Now my boat stays centered when I haul out on the first try.
Excellent product. Just as advertised. Easy to install solo and made of solid materials. Haven’t used to pull boat out yet, but can’t imagine it won’t guide me in great. I used the extra long U-bolt kit because of my trailer being 6 inches. Not sure why they wouldn’t just include them from the beginning as they are only a 1/2 “ longer, but that’s the way it goes. Very satisfied
worked great with the C E Simth Bunk - style side rails I purchased
These u bolts are a perfect fit on bass pro shop/cabelas boat guides
Good place for parts!!I did call on another matter and the young lady had a hard time understanding what I was needing. Thanks
I updated my trailer by adding a set of guide-ons and its been a real plus especially on breezy days or loading /unloading by myself.
Terry was great in assisting with my or der
Have not opened packages. Hopefully there is no damage. Package with rails has a large hole in it. I will let you know tonight. Customer service is great with ya'll
one day late
Once i received my 6" ubolts i was able to install my guides on my trailer.
parts arrived on times very satisfied with the service i will buy from e-trailer again
Easy to order and arrived earlier than they thought it would.
It should have come with the guide ons
Just what we needed! Love these guides.
Product sturdier than i imagined. Installed so easily. had to get the longer u bolts for my frame. 60" was perfect for my 21' boat. Very happy with delivery and tracking ability. I am a new and satisfied customer.
Product worked perfectly as advertised. Outstanding rapid service from etrailer.com.
I purchased guide-on bunks to facilitate the loading of my pontoon from the lake onto my trailer. The hardware included two kinds of u-bolts. One kind is a standard u-bolt The other kind has an indentation in the center of the crossbar. The instructions showed that the u-bolts should be crossed when installed on the frame of the trailer.
But crossing the u-bolts is impossible if the frame is three inches wide. I learned that for frames that are three inches wide, the u-bolts should NOT be crossed. I learned this only by finding on U-Tube a demonstration of the installation. The instructions should have made this point clear.
On a separate matter, the representative who took my order, Bryan, provided excellent service.

Good quality extra long bolts, I have the thick beam trailer, so they fit nice...Thank you..
The bunks worked great. Boat went on the trailer nice.... fixed my issues 100 percent.
Just what I needed for my application
etrailer has always provided fast & excellent service. My trailer guides were no exception. Had to get the u bolt kit to accommodate 5 inch trailer frame. All packaged together with guides, arrived in 3 days! Installed in 45 min. Keep up the stellar work!
Purchased to help get our pontoon up onto a EZ Loader trailer. Limited mounting locations due to trailer. But, works like a charm.
Description states 6" and measures 6" I have a 5 1/4" ibeam frame on the trailer and thought there would be plenty of length to mount roller guide on's. Just barely enough length to use had to leave out the included washers.
