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 1 roller-, bunk-, or post-style guide-on to your boat trailer with a frame up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall. Includes 2 sets of mounting U-bolts.A few days after making the order I received an email from etrailer indicating that there would be a delay in delivery until early next month and the items that I needed had to be shipped first from a manufacturer. I called the emailer to discuss but it was a Friday afternoon and I did not reach him. Later that evening I got an email from etrailer indicating that my order would be delivered within 5 days and it arrived on time as they said! Someone at etrailer must have gone the extra mile for me. It was much appreciated as I could not wait until next month. It saved me an expensive trip to the trailer dealer. Tom N 320722
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. 514667
I have spoken with my contacts at CE Smith and these should work for their guide ons, and they do need to be crossed for a correct install. The flat u-bolt should be mounted closest to trailer frame then the indented/formed on should be installed over the flat one.
--Excellent product. Lenght is plenty to fit my large trailer frame. To this point they are holding firm for my guides for loading my boat. 704688
Could be a little longer and come with nuts and washers for the price 700227
The set of extra long U blots measurements was right on and fit our heavy duty Load Rite trailer. Not just snugly but with an 1/8" to spare. Made tightening them much easier with extra diameter and length. 677607
Very well made! 677603
My trailer needed the extra long bolts but the order got to me with only enough bolts for one side. I called and they rushed me enough bolts for the other side of the trailer. No questions, no hassles. You can't get any better customer service than that. I'll make sure to keep etrailer.com in my files as I'm always needing some wierd part that can't be bought locally. I just wish they carried more stuff. 672653
They look great should make loading a breeze 668591
Product as described. Fast shipping, will use etrailer.com again. 666413
I needed new ones to replace the rusted ones on my trailer and was glad that I didn't have to buy everything else....Perfect fit ! 661456
Nice bunk guides. Needed to shorten lower arm so not to scratch boat bottom. Looks good. Not quite the same as my old one but works the same. Shipment was fast. Thanks! 659174
Just as described and just what I order ed. 658137
Have purchased this item before . Great customer service. 644394
was as advertise which is rare these da ys 642936
The brackets work, but definitly not heavy duty. The extended trailer light poles are are little much for these brackets they are not real secure. Fine brackets that work if you dont do alot of loading / unloading of your boat. 629063
All products purchased a year ago are in operation and doing well. etrailer rocks. A couple of days ago placed order for axel and hubs for another boat/trailer restoration project. THANKS A BUNCH!! 628369
I have been very pleased with the multiple products I have purchased from trailer 623172
work good, just remember to take em off before you back into the water 621777
first time dealing with etrailer.com and I have to say that it was a very pleasant experience . Great selection along with fair pricing. I will definitely be dealing with them again in the very near future. 619639
Great quality, easy to install. Fast s hipping. 613557
I had looked at the extended u bolts as they said 6". They actually say on the package they fit 3" x 5 1/4" and it does say this in the fine print on the web site. My frame is 3 1/2" x 5 1/2". Great news they just fit perfectly! Hope this helps anyone who think they be too small. Great e-trailer service as usual and fast shipping! Trailer is a magic tilt distributed by polar boats 2 axle aluminum for a 23' boat 7000# load Thanks e-trailer. 611882
I ordered and received extra long mounting hardware, just in case I need it. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. I will find out in a week, when the weather warms a bit. If I don’t need it, I guess that I will find out how easy the return process is. Thanks Etrailer Harry 601744
Nice U bolts, only problem no nuts and washers. Would have paid a little more for the whole kit. 599789
Strong U bolts. Greg 595020
Just what I needed. They are nice quality, fairly priced and the shipping was very quick. Thank You! 571393
Fast shipping. Great service. 565317
Nice product. Would have given 5 stars if the extra long u bolts were included with the bunk board kit as an option. Also an 8 bolt kit would have been nice as I didn't realize I needed 8 because I ordered over the phone without benefit of pictures or description's. Pictures attached for a dual axel Shorelandr trailer under a 22 foot Crestliner Eagle WAC 565167
Halley was great at tracking down the product I wanted 562501
I needed new 'hard to find' u-bolts for my boat trailer and etrailer came thru once again with a quality product, sold at a decent priced, and delivered fast and free. 549452
Couldn't have done the install without these longer u-bolts...Perfect. 538881
Exactly the product necessary for my installation of boat guides. 525914
Parts were exactly what I needed...fast delivery time and great correspondence! Very satisfied customer here. 514662
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. 514435
Working as expected. I would note that with my 20 boat they are at their max capacity and still work very well.
After buying these I may not have to use them. My trailer has a fender all the way back to the end of the trailer. I may be able to just bolt them to the fender which is welded to the frame and quite sturdy. I will use these to mount my rocket launcher onto my hardtop. A win win situation 509224
I used these to secure a crossmember across my boat trailer to mount a keel roller. I like this model where as you cross the u-bolts. Great product if you can use them for your application. 501265
Easy to install. I actually extended the PVC poles up higher since my boat is rather large and sides taper. This helps guide the boat on the trailer better and keep it centered on the trailer. My boat has strakes that run fore and aft so it is essential for them to not rest on the bunks of the trailer. Proper positioning is the key to this. 464027
looks like it will do the job. simply use instead of stock u-bolt set that comes with roller package. 457211
Disappointing that the U-Bolts that came with the CE trailer guides were too short and I had to pay for these "xtra long" ones. My trailer is a standard two axel trailer. As far as this product goes, it showed up at my house and it is longer than the standard length. Woo hoo!!!! 455632
Great product works great 433093
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 424384
Very simple to order directly via phone, and rep was extremely knowledgeable. Items arrived very promptly, and I will absolutely be doing business again soon. Thanks as always. 415510
Always easy from etrailer. Product was easy to install and works as it should. 412976
happy with these 409207
I put the 60" post style guides on my 22.5' deck boat trailer this morning and tried them out this afternoon on Truman Lake. I installed them just touching the rub rail on the boat. I put them on top of the trailer beam just in front of the tail lights. They were easy to install with no surprises and worked really well. Launching and loading the boat is almost fool proof. I did need the extra long u bolts because my trailer beam is 2 x 5 inches. I absolutely love the setup. 405471
Just what I needed. Fit perfect. 403214
These were delivered last night ( 7/7/17 ) just finished installing them on a new Venture aluminum I beam trailer this morning-- everything worked fine however the installation would have gone much smoother and quicker had these u bolts been a quarter to a half inch longer. 403074
High quality perfect for my needs 397954
Called etrailer to inquire about 60" lighted guide ons. that I had seen for less money on another site. The good news was that etrailer would price match, the bad news was that they were out of stock, but they did have the 75" guide ons in stock, so I ordered them. When they arrived I was disappointed to discover that they were not the lighted guide ons. The item that did arrive seems to be quality & well constructed. Since I didn't have the time to wait for the back ordered item, I didn't have the time to return the unlighted guide ons. 397033
Quality is great but just not sturdy enough at the 90 degree bend. As a result arms bend out of 90 degrees way too easily leaving too much space between hull and the carpeted board. 392648
