Features to know about

Effortless Boat Alignment: Post-Style Guide-Ons

Navigating your boat onto a trailer can be a struggle, especially in windy conditions or strong currents. With the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons, loading and unloading become straightforward tasks. These guides stand a robust 40 inches tall, providing you with high visibility as you center your boat. They're designed to extend out of the water, marking a clear path and making solo positioning a breeze.

Strength and Durability Under Pressure: Pre-Galvanized Steel Construction

Boat trailers require durable components to withstand the wear of frequent use and water exposure. These guide-ons are built from 16-gauge pre-galvanized steel, ensuring long-lasting strength and resistance against the elements. Their robust construction means you can rely on them to hold up during countless launches and retrievals. The galvanized finish gives you peace of mind that they’ll endure, even in harsh environments.

Quick and Simple Installation: No Drilling Required

There's no need for a complicated setup with CE Smith's design. The guide-ons attach effortlessly to your trailer's rear crossmember using the included hardware. Forget about drilling or custom modifications—these guides are ready to go when you are, boasting a universal fit for frames up to 3 inches wide and 4-1/4 inches tall. You're on the water faster, enjoying more of what you love.

Adaptable to Your Needs: Adjustable Outward Extensions

Whether you're working with a wide beam boat or a tight trailer, these guide-ons can adjust outward up to 13 inches from the trailer frame, catering to various boat sizes and preferences. This flexibility ensures they meet your specific trailering needs, enhancing your experience with each use.

Enhanced Visuals: Black PVC Framework

Visibility is key when launching and retrieving your boat. The black PVC pipes not only slide smoothly over steel posts but also stand out, providing a stark contrast against the water and the sky. This design element significantly improves your ability to line up the trailer accurately, regardless of lighting conditions.

Perfect Fit for Different Setups: Ideal for Pontoon Trailers

Whether you're trailering a standard boat or a pontoon, these guide-ons are versatile enough to meet your needs perfectly. With an adjustment that allows for extension and compatibility for varying trailer sizes, they're a fit for pontoon trailers looking to elevate their loading and unloading efficiency. Enjoy effortless guidance no matter the current or the wind with these adaptable guides.

  • Boat Guide Ons that Extend Out Longer than 13 inches from Trailer Frame
    We have the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27637 that extends out 19 inches. I attached a review video for this kit for you to check out as well.

  • Pontoon Boat Trailer Guide-Ons Exterior Mounted
    Yes, the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 will help guide you onto your bunks of the boat trailer. These will adjust out 13" from your trailer frame and fit frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall. For frames up to 5-1/4" tall you can purchase Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416. These guides are 40" tall. You may want taller Guide-Ons # CE27646 are 60" tall if you have taller railing and are worried about seeing them when loading. I would also recommend with either...

  • Can 40" Height of CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Be Incrreased
    The tubing for the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 40" Tall # CE27626 is pretty much in a fixed location height-wise (see attached photo for connection style) so if you're needing taller guide-ons I recommend going with the 60" version, part # CE27646, and then trimming the guide-ons as needed. You could try finding a way to add a sort of stopper higher up on the brackets to increase the height of the 40" setup but if that were to fail then the guides could drop while...

  • Are CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Meant to Touch the Boat or Only for Visual Aid
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 are really for visual aid. The black section you'll see while loading your boat is made out of PVC and while it will be okay with a soft nudge from your boat, if you were to press your boat up against it and use it to guide your boat on the trailer that way it would only be a matter of time before the PVC would break.

  • How to Choose Correct Height for Post-Style Boat Trailer Guide-Ons
    The best way to determine the height needed is to measure from the top of your trailer frame to the top of the sides of your boat. If the 40" Tall Guide-Ons # CE27626 sit right at or slightly above the sides of your boat then the shorter will work for you. Otherwise the 60" Tall Guide-Ons # CE27646 will be the better option. These posts are made of PVC pipe so in reality you can just get the 60" tall kit and then cut them to the desired height once you get your boat to the water. Attached...

  • How to Choose Guide-Ons for Tri-Toon Pontoon
    Thanks for reaching out! You'll need to determine what size is best for your setup by measuring what you have and seeing if any f our guide-ons give you enough clearance. For example, the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 are 40" tall and can be adjusted up to 13" out from the trailer frame.

  • Do Post-Style Guide Ons Have Any Flex in Them
    I think that question is dependent on how much flexing you're talking about. The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 are made out of PVC pipe so there is some flex that can happen, but a heavy boat could easily snap the PVC if you're needing them to flex quite a bit. I would try to find a happy medium in their position. It will be okay for the boat to touch them but I wouldn't put them in a spot where the boat will be putting a lot of pressure on them. You'll just need to play with...

  • How to Upgrade 40" CE Smith Boat Guide-Ons to 60" Tall Guide-Ons
    The padded covers we have for the 40" Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 you purchased can be found as part # CE27902 for 36" tall pads. If you want to upgrade to 60" tall guide-ons you can do so with part # CE11354 which comes in a quantity of 1 so you'll need 2 for your setup. For these you need the 48" tall pads # CE27903 for 48" instead.

  • Where To Properly Mount Post-Style Guide-Ons On A Boat Trailer
    When it comes to installing The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626, ideally you would want to install them as close to the back of the trailer as possible, but like you said it comes down to being a personal preference. The guide-ons are made out of a 16-gauge, pre-galvanized steel that are strong and durable. The black PVC pipes slide over the steel posts so you can see your submerged trailer. The guides have a simple installation on the rear crossmember of the...

  • How is the 40" Height Measured on CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons
    You are correct about the measurement. The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 are measured from the bottom where it is galvanized to the top of the cap on the PVC pipes. This measurement is the overall height which is 40".

  • Longer U-Bolts For CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons

    CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 were designed to fit trailer frames that are up to but no larger than 3 inches wide and 4-1/4 inches tall. At 2 by 4 inches your frame does meet that description! I have linked a video review for you.

    Hey Phil, There sure is something you can get to help getting the boat to load centered, which are boat guide-ons.

  • Replacement Option For Damaged Fulton Boat Guide
    I have a replacement option for you, but I reached out to my contact at Fulton and unfortunately just the post is not available for the Fulton Boat Guide - Galvanized Steel Construction - Cushioned Rollers - 16" Tall # FBGR200101 you have on your trailer as it is only sold as a kit. Instead I recommend replacing your guides with the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 40" Tall - Black - 1 Pair # CE27626 as they have replacement parts available should you ever damage one....

  • Are There Extensions for the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers
    Hey Vickie, thanks for reaching out! I have an alternative solution for you, but the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27610 don't have an extension. What you can do instead is also install the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 so you'll have your rollers making contact with your boat, but then these uprights to help make sure you can see the guides above the water.

  • Will The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons CE27626 Fit A 1-1/2" x 3" Beam?
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 will work very nicely with the 1-1/2" x 3" beam on your Shorelander Lund Trailer. The included u-bolts and brackets will fit frames up to 3" wide and 4-1/4" tall, so your frame will be well within parameters for fitment.

  • CE Smith Post-Style 40" Guide-Ons Comparison Black and White
    The only difference in the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 and # CE27620 is the color of the PVC posts. The # CE27620 uses white PVC posts while the # CE27626 has black PVC posts. Both sets of posts are 40" tall, have a pipe diameter of 2-3/8", adjust out up to 13" and attach to the frames of trailers up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall. You can use the CE Smith Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416 for trailer frames up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall. And the LED Light Kit #...

  • Will the PVC Tubes Come Off the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-On If the Boat Is Launched Too Far
    The tubes on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-On part # CE27626 are notched which then allows them to be held in placing by lining these notches up with the tab on the post. This will then keep the tubes attached if you were to launch your trailer too far under water. There is also the option of running a single self tapping screw though the tube and into the post if you do have issues but I do not feel you will have any problem with the above.

  • What Color Does 40" Tall CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights Come In
    So there isn't an option for black guide-ons with LED lights; the only color for the guide-ons with LED lights is White, which is the following part number: - CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers - 40" Tall # CE27740 If you really wanted the guide-ons in Black and were okay with not having the LEDs on top, you can get those with the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 40" Tall # CE27626. Both guide-ons do come with U-bolts that mount to trailer...

  • Minimum Distance Between Frame and Upright Post of CE Smith Guide Ons CE27626
    While the L-bracket of the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 does angle away slightly so the exact number will vary it's right at 5 inches as the minimum distance between where it attaches and the lower portion of the upright post.

  • Are Extension Brackets Available for the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Part # CE27626
    The steel posts on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons part # CE27626 can actually be adjusted so that they sit 13" from the outside of your trailer. They do not make any longer steel posts for this kit but it should not be needed unless you had a really wide boat and short trailer. I am sure they will work just fine for you.
