Specs:
Adjustable boat guides can be fine-tuned to work with your boat and your trailer. The 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 rollers correctly matches the width of your boat. The rubber roller guides help to center your boat during loading and to hold the boat during transport.
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding.

These rollers are awesome! The perfect solution to my problem. I have a 16' Gheenoe and there was an issue loading my boat. As I am a paralyzed vet trying to load the boat by myself from a wheelchair on the ramp. There was too much room from the rear guides to the front of the trailer in which the boat could drift left or right before I got it positioned. These rollers help guide her on and keep it going straight. I can now load/unload like a pro. Now if only etrailer could help me catch fish.....
Ok Product. Actually, the product is exactly what it is, supposed to do but it’s not really what I wanted it to do. I thought the rollers would be closer to the side of the boat to keep it centered on the rollers. It helps guide the boat on the rollers but does nothing to help center it. Anyway, good product if that’s what you want.
I am very happy with roller guides. I am building an airboat, and thought some assistance lining up with the trailer would be helpful. The guides are heavy duty well made, and firmly affixed to the trailer. Installation could not have been easier.
Purchased boat trailer roller guides for our aluminum fishing boat/trailer. Product was delivered in less than anticipated time. Product was delivered as advertised. While I have not yet had time to install the product, all of the necessary hardware was included and simple instructions appear to make installation easy and fast. I expect that the roller system will simplify the loading of our boat (centering on boat keel rollers) under all conditions and permit one person operation.
Donald - 08/02/2020The CE smith rollers were an easy install and work great. They really help getting the boat on the trailer and in the right location.
I was somewhat apprehensive since my trailer rails are 1&1/2 inch wide so the fit is not snug. So-far, so-good on an easy retrieve in low wind. Time & a windy day will tell if they are helpful.
OK J - 05/20/2021Have mounted the rollers on the trailer of our 14’ aluminum runabout’s trailer and am looking forward to a dramatically improved launch and recover opportunity when we next use the boat(wind or no wind). Should have installed these years ago.
I need to fit this product to my 1960 vintage Holsclaw trailer. I had ordered the longer guide units but found they wouldn't work because of the style of the trailer and having to center the keel of the boat to the main beam roller at the back. Since they extend above the gunnel of the boat and the gunnel being wider at the front of the boat then at the transom, proper alignment to the center beam roller was impossible. I needed a guide that positioned on the spray rail rather than the gunnel. I think this roller will work perfectly once I locate the boat back a few inches on the trailer. Thanks for all your help. I think I will be able to load my boat alone.
Purchased one and it worked but due to a limited 4” roller width needed a second roller to improve alignment for my aluminum boat on windy days. Have mounted all rollers but have not tested yet.
These are good for the most part. The roller are held onto the upright by push on nuts on the top and bottom of the actual roller shaft. The first time I put my boat in the water the bottom nut dropped off one side and I lost the bottom roller. I ended up drilling the metal shaft and putting a ring through it to hold the rollers in place. If I had not checked the other side the same thing would have happened aas the push on nut was loose. I drilled the other side and put a cotter key through the other side. The bolt on process was fine and aside from the roller issue these work fine.
Product came in NOT damaged, fast service and bolted on straight to trailer. 15 minutes to install. If anyone wants product in a timely fashion and get what is advertised please order from this company!
I received my rollers in a very timely manner. Product was of good quality . Easy to assemble price was reasonable as well deffinetly would recommend this company...
Works well for boat alignment and being able to see the trailer when backing into the water
These rollers were pretty easy to install, just need a 9/16 socket. They seem extremely sturdy once installed. A great value for the money
James M - 04/30/2021L shaped rollers are good quality and easy to install. Recommend. Perfect fit on my 16 ' Shore line roller bed trailer. I fish on the Mississippi and it works great to help guide the boat on when there is current working against you at boat landing.
stevet - 05/10/2020These guides have proven themselves to be a great addition to my trailer. No more multiple attempts to land my boat! Well worth the money.
Etrailer had all the parts I was looking for in stock. The sales help was very good and the shipping was very quick. I shop here as often as I can
Seems to work. Would be nice if the roller was adjustable up and down
Solved my problem of replacing the original which lost a fight with a dock piling!
just installed but havent tested yet. pretty stout rollers and should help fight back against the tides here in florida. cant wait for maiden voyage!!!
Wish I had installed them years ago. Easy installation made launching and loading so much easier
They work great. I lost one on the road, is possible to buy just one?
Heather A - 06/22/2021It has changed our lives. We are retired and some windy days trying to load our boat were very difficult - this was easy to install and so easy to load our boat on windy days! A blessing for sure!
Val a - 06/03/2020I needed a strong guide system for the front of my boat on steep ramps. . These work perfectly.
Easy to install, solid product. Very ha ppy.
