Features to know about

Efficient Boat Loading: 75-Inch High Visual Guideposts

Whether you're navigating windy conditions or a busy marina, the 75-inch tall guideposts on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons offer a clear visual aid for loading your vessel. These tall posts make it easy to line up your boat with the trailer, even in deep water, ensuring it sits perfectly every time.

Strong and Durable Construction: Galvanized Steel Frame

Constructed from galvanized steel, these guide-ons are prepared for the elements. They resist rusting and stand strong against the rigors of marine environments. The robustness of the steel ensures that even through repeated use and exposure, your guide-ons will endure and last.

Simplified Setup: U-Bolt Hardware for No-Drill Installation

No need for complex tools or drilling; the included U-bolt hardware makes installation straightforward. Simply attach the guide-ons to your trailer without any hassle. The easy setup means you can quickly adjust them as needed, ensuring your boat guide is exactly where it needs to be.

Adaptable to Your Needs: Adjustable Out to 19 Inches from Frame

With the ability to adjust out to 19 inches from the trailer frame, these guide-ons can accommodate a wide range of boat sizes and shapes. This adaptability ensures that no matter your configuration, you have the flexibility for precise alignment.

Visual Clarity for Every Adventure: PVC Pipe Over Steel Posts

The combination of PVC over steel posts provides not only a sturdy construct but also a brightly visible guide that stands out against the water and sky. This dual-material design ensures that you have a durable, yet easily noticeable guide whenever you’re loading or unloading your boat.

Avoid Frustrating Realignments: Secure Steel Post Diameter

With a solid steel post diameter of 1-1/2 inches and a PVC diameter of 2 inches, these guides are sturdy against lateral movement. They stay firmly in place, minimizing the need for constant realignment and giving you peace of mind as you prepare for your next adventure.

  • How to Install 75 inch CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons to 2x6 Boxed Trailer Frame
    For the 75" tall CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27636 to fit your 2" x 6" boxed frame you'll need to visit your local hardware store for U-Bolts that are 7/16" diameter and 6-1/2" long while using the CE Smith Frame Straps # CE20016GA as CE Smith doesn't have any U-Bolts solutions long enough for your application. We have reached out to CE Smith in the past and this is the solution that they presented to us for 2" x 6" boxed trailer frames.

  • How To Choose Correct Height CE Smith Post-Style Guide-On's for Boat Trailers
    There are a few factors that go into selecting the correct height of boat guide-on. It varies by setup but if you don't know what height you need you can simply go with an option longer than you'll need and then trim as you see fit. The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers part # CE27636 is the tallest option at 75" and can easily be cut to fit you exact height requirement. You really won't know how tall you need until you launch the boat with the guide-on's in place. It comes...

  • How to Gauge Height of Guide-Ons for Boat Trailer
    When installing guide-ons on your boat trailer, like part # CE27636, you want to make sure that they extend high enough that they are easily visible when you are loading your boat. If you feel comfortable loading your boat with the guide-ons being barely visible, then you will not need ones that are very tall. The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27636 that I referenced are 75 inches tall.

  • Will the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers Work with Pontoon Boat Wider Than 19"
    In regards to the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers part # CE27636, if you need to extend the uprights more than 19" from outside of the frame you'd have to replace the horizontal bar stock with a longer option. It's removable so that shouldn't be too much of an issue so then you'd just need to take the bar stock to a local supply store and match it up with one that has a length that would work for your trailer. Please keep in mind, this isn't recommend by the manufacturer...

  • Weight Capacity And Parts Needed For Modifying Boat Trailer For 26 Ft Regal Commodore
    I spoke with my contact at CE Smith, and they said the Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assembly for Boat Trailers, part # CE10000G, do not bear the weight of the boat. The U-bolt that attaches the brackets to the trailer frame support the weight of the boat. There should be a bracket attached to each cross member of the trailer frame. If you are buying several brackets, I would recommend part # CE10000G-4. This is a set of 4 of the 9 inch adjustable brackets. If you need longer adjustable brackets...

  • CE Smith Boat Guide-Ons Recommendation for a Trailer with 3x5-1/2 inch Frame
    I have a solution for you, but the U-bolts included with the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27636 are only good for trailer frames that are up to 5-1/2 inches. You would also need the CE Smith Extra Long U-Bolt Kit part # CE11416 as this will work on frames up to 6 inches so it would work well for you.

  • Are the 75" Long CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Offered in Black
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons are offer in both white and black but the black poles only come in a length up to 60" whereas the white are offered up to 75" long. Therefore, you could purchase the 75" long white poles with part # CE27636 and spay paint them black or you could just purchase the 60" long black ones with part # CE27646. Is is also important to note that the u-bolts that come with the black posts are a bit shorter than the u-bolts included with the white posts so if your...

  • Which Is The Right Guide Post Size For My 170 Bayliner?
    It depends on how tall your boat is. You want the posts to sit up above where the top sides of your boat are. You can see in the video I've included. So I recommend getting the 60" # CE27640 or the 75" # CE27636 guide ons.

  • Recommended Trailer Guide-Ons for Classic Sailboat
    You are correct in stating that the guideposts on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 60" Tall # CE27640 will only adjust out to 13 inches from your trailer. The mounting brackets used will not be able to provide any additional length. If you need a bit more room and are okay with taller guideposts, I recommend the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons - 75" Tall # CE27636. These are quite a bit taller at 75 inches, but they are able to adjust out to 19 inches from your trailer,...

  • Recommended Guide-Ons For a 20 Foot Pontoon Boat Loading and Unloading In River Currents
    As you will be loading and unloading in the stronger river current I recommend using the CE Smith Roller Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE27672. These use rollers that will allow for your pontoon to load easier onto your boat trailer. These will fit trailers with frames or crossmembers that are up to 3" wide and 4-1/4" tall. If you have a larger frame/crossmember a Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416 will fit up to 3" wide and 5-1/4" tall. For an I-Beam frame the I-Beam Clamps...

  • Choosing Boat Guide-Ons for 2010 Monterey 260 SCR's Boat Trailer
    When choosing boat guide-ons, the height of the post is personal preference. Guide-ons come in a variety of heights to accommodate different boats styles and preferences of different people. Since you have a Monterey 260SCR, the 75 inch tall, CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons that you looked at would work well in proportion with the size of the boat. If your boat trailer has an I-beam trailer frame, you will want part # CE27635. These posts will attach the to trailer frame with I-beam clamps...

  • What Size Guide Ons to Use with Boat Trailer for Baja Outlaw 25

  • Styles and Sizes of Boat Trailer Guide-Ons
    The CE Smith Bunk Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE27671 do offer two choices of mounting height, but if you prefer a taller guide-on you might prefer the post-style units shown on the linked page. We offer these in many heights from 16-inch # FBGR200101 up to 75-inch # CE27636. You can select your preferred size using the filters on the page.

  • Availability Of CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons In Larger Sizes
    Indeed we do sell the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for pontoon boat trailers in larger sizes. The 22" long # CE27670 that you were looking at are actually the smallest size. I know not all of these say "pontoon boat" in the title, but you can certainly still use them for pontoon boat applications. All of them come with the basically the same brackets and bolts, just different size guide ons. I will list the other sizes below. 40" Tall # CE27620 60" Tall # CE27640 65" Tall # CE27637 75"...

  • Recommended Bunk Guides For 28 Foot Bayliner Trailer
    For your 28 foot Bayliner trailer, I recommend the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 60" Long - 1 Pair # CE27600. These are 2x4 bunk boards, but you could use 2x6 if you prefer. We don't carry that size board, but we do carry the carpet like # CE11349.

  • Can CE Smith 75 inch Tall Guide Ons be Used with 26-1/2 foot Cruiser
    I am pretty sure you are asking about the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 75" Tall # CE27636 which are 75 inch tall guide posts and not 75 inch tall guy clothes. The brackets are made of galvanized steel and were designed for heavier boats so it would work great for you although it doesn't have a length or weight capacity limit. We don't have a way to determine if these are exact same as what you have on your Chapparal.

  • Can Guideposts on CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons be Cut Down to Size
    The upright steel portion of the guideposts on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27636 is only around 39 inches. The remaining height consists of just the outer layer PVC pipe that slides over the steel posts. With this in mind, you should be able to easily cut down the height on these guide-ons and just replace the top cap once the desired height is reached. Just keep in mind that doing this will void the warranty of the product.
