Tis the Season for Holiday Savings
Keep your small boat centered during the loading process, despite wind and waves, with these bunk-board-style guide-ons. Corrosion-resistant guides are covered with marine-grade carpet and fit trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall.
Features:
Specs:
Adjustable boat guides can be fine-tuned to work with your boat and your trailer. The pre-galvanized steel support posts mount horizontally on top of or below your trailer's frame rail. Just slide the posts into the boat guide supports and secure the posts so that the distance between the bunks correctly matches the width of your boat. The bunk boards then tilt to conform to the boat's hull. Guides will help to center your boat during loading and to hold the boat during transport.
Pre-Galvanized Steel
Pre-galvanized steel parts are stamped from a sheet of steel after it has already been galvanized. The edges of the pre-galvanized parts often lose their zinc coating during the stamping process. Because of the thinness of the coating less than 1 mil and the fact that the edges remain exposed, pre-galvanized parts can begin to oxidize and rust quickly, so its recommended that they be primed and painted.

Was installed on a 18’ ez load trailer.

I bolted these to my trailer step instead of using the furnished ubolts. Looks great and they are extremely strong. Fine quality, clear instructions and well designed. Loading my boat in the wind is much easier.
Chuck - 10/25/2022Make retrieving boat so much easier. Now back the trailer in deeper and boat is centered perfectly. Way less cranking on the winch, but feet get wet cause trailer is back farther. I rather take shoes off or switch to boots than crank on the winch.Speeds up load time at ramp. Only down side is I had to buy longer u bolts because my trailer sides were higher than the stock bolts could accommodate. Cost me more money, cause they ain't cheap and I'm suck with 8 u bolts that I have no use for. They should allow you specify the bolt size you need based on trailer frame height.
Excellent product. Makes loading the boat on your trailer a snap. The video provided by Etrailers made installation very easy. I recommend this product.
Very happy with fitment and the speed of which I could install it. It took about an hour and 15 minutes.
The side boards are in fact wood, and I recommend drilling pilot holes for the wood screws.
Now for the negatives...
Torque specs or the u-volts would have been appreciated for those of us that care.
But most important would be the pivoting bunk mount. As seen in the photos, they are sheared off square. Rounded edges would be more appropriate as most kids around a boat are wearing clothing with little cut resistance. Someone sliding off the boat or getting their knee on it while getting in could really ruin an outing. I would have rounded them off myself, but I didn’t want to lose the galvinized finish.
Installation was easy and the bucks do hold up very good when bumping into them with a strong current and wind. Only issue I have had to date, one bunk got a small worp/bend from moisture and then drying out in the hot sun.
Perfect solution to convert my trailer for my 14' aluminum boat to a drive on self loader. Easy installment and it can be done by one person and a couple clamps. I would recommend this to anyone who has a trailer without side rails.
Michel - 08/28/2019These are great, I have purchased these twice for two different boat trailers now.
This bunk is perfect for old men that can't see real good My pontoon boat slips right between the bunks and rides up the trailer to the wench. I don't have to wool about being off just little because the bunks catch the pontoons and position the boat perfectly. Well worth the money to eliminate the hassle of trying to guide the boat myself.
Quick shipping, great quality. I ended up using it as a step/board to walk on while docking: loading the boat without getting my feet wet! I’ve been using it for about a year now with no problems.
Great products, fast shipping!
Best thing I ever did to my trailer. Easy install and they work!
Jonathan - 04/13/2022Easy install and looks like the will last a long time. Hoping this will solve our loading boat on trailer issues on windy days.
The bunk style guide ons were perfect for my needs. Installation was a snap and they look really good. I followed their recommendation and painted them (black) before installing. I used a couple of clamps to hold the boards in place so I was able to easily complete the project by myself. That also allowed me to drill the pilot holes without taking them back off. Much quicker and very easy.
Quality product, great service, thank y ou
looks nice. Helps more than the 2' ones I had when loading....pleased
I was going to make my own but I am very glad I didn’t. These guide-ons are well made a fit great. The perfect height for the line of my boat. Easy to install everything was there. Fast shipping as well. Highly recommended.
so much easier getting my boat on the trailer with these!
it was a good price and arrived quickly
I guess for a single axle trailer it would be ok except for the u bolts there should be an option for longer ones when purchasing the kit thanks.
Sierra K - 07/15/2021Easy to install and works great
Always super fast delivery with a great selection of products. I just ordered a set of trailer bunks to help out when I’m loading when it’s windy, looks like they’ll do a good job!!!
The guides are working well. The only problem was that the boards were'ent useful since my trailer fenders interfeared with placement. I simply substituted 10 foot 2x4s. No problem. The boards made alignment of the boat easy.
This is the second set of CE Smith bunks I have ordered. The first was a couple of years ago and was completely satisfied. Told a friend who also ordered the same bunks kit and he was also happy. This set of bunks arrived on Tuesday afternoon, the package had been taped up on one end and apparently had broken open in transit. All items were ok but the bolt package was missing. I called eTrailer and spoke to a very nice lady named Stephanie. I explained the situation and Stephanie said NO Problem! A bolt package was sent the next day and I recieved it two days later. Etrailer is a good company to do business with.
