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.

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. 679176
Comments
The installation was quite easy and took less than one hour. The roller system has greatly improved the loading of our Alumacraft fishing boat. Under all conditions the rollers center the boat on the trailer and permit loading in one attempt aligning the keel of the watercraft exactly where it belongs. We no longer have to spend time at the launch site loading and reloading the boat when wind and wave conditions require two men and three oxen to keep the stern properly lined up. Great product!

Prior to installing the roller guides loading the boat onto the trailer was a chore. The slightest breeze would push the boat off center. Now it is a one shot, one man operation. Works like a charm. 438042

The brackets were manufactured with precision and fit over the guide arms the entire length (5 1/2") which cuts down on overtightening and movement in the bracket. 677608

L 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. 640388

The roller guides are good quality. It was very easy to install. They are just what you need on a windy day in Wisconson to guide the boat unto trailer.

As the unit mounts under the frame the tru height is less than 21 by the height of the frame. In this case, 5. I am thinking of extending the height a bit to insure the top is out of the water and visible for running the boat onto the trailer. Otherwise, the service was good and the product was servicalble. 76942

I bought the roller guides and installed them, also bought the pipe guides in case I needed them. Very easy to install the roller guides and they work fine and will probably work well for others but didn't work for my needs. I needed the pipe guides which are tall enough for me to see while backing down the trailer. I will be sending the roller guides back as I don't need them. Thanks 520329

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. 564565

The product is just as pictured. It works as you would expect. For my boat and trailer, it was hard to get them close enough to be true guides. I am right at the edge of the bend to get them barely close enough. There is not any way to adjust the angle so you don't really have any choice, it is mount them deeper in or father out. I think I have them working well enough though. If needed to get them closer, I could add some spacers between the roller and metal upright or get a cross bar welded on the trailer to mount the closer. If you have a cross bar to mount to, you have no issues, if you only have the sides, distance may be an issue. Not a fault of the design, just a limitation. They do help me load my boat, which is why I bought them. Since they are the rear guides though, I just wish they were closer. 653284

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..... 766157

- CE Smith CE27610 Guide-On Rollers For 14 Foot Lowe Sea Nymph Fishing BoatThe # CE27610 CE Smith Roller Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers would be absolutely perfect for your application.

- Recommended Pontoon Trailer Guides and Bunk BoardsOn a pontoon trailer you can absolutely use roller guides on the sides like the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 21" Tall - 1 Pair # CE27610. The more common use for a pontoon trailer is the CE Smith Roller Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers - 24" Long - 1 Pair # CE27672 which are designed for the inside of the pontoons to center the boat on the trailer and guide you onto the bunk boards. For the outside, often more visual help like the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons...

You can mount these at different widths to ensure you have a good distance from your boat while still being close enough to allow the guide-ons to help you when you are loading the boat on your trailer. These guide-ons fit frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall, but if your frame is up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall you you will need the CE Smith Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit for...

- Pontoon Boat Length vs. Pontoon Trailer LengthIt is recommended that a pontoon boat trailer be 3 to 4 feet longer than the pontoon boat it carries. So a 20-foot pontoon boat should be transported on a trailer with 23- to 24-foot bunk boards to avoid the pontoon tube hitting the back of the tow vehicle in a tight turn. We offer bunk-style guides in various sizes and these appear on the linked page. We also offer bunk boards in several lengths that come already wrapped in marine carpet, such as 6-foot pair # CE27840 and 7-foot...

- Installing CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons on Taller Trailer Frame The U-bolts included with the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 will fit trailer frames that are up to 3" wide and 4-1/4" tall, however you can add the Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416 to install the Guide-Ons to a taller frame like yours. These U-bolts will work on trailer frames that are up to 3" wide and 5-1/4" tall. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.

However, you can still use the guide-ons with CE Smith I-Beam Clamps part # CE27682A to fit your I-beam. The other options for guide-on do not come with hardware to fit the i-beam either so you would need to use the clamps. They fit I-Beams with width of 2-1/2" to 4-1/2". I have...

view full answer... - Does the Entire Roller of the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 Have to Touch the BoatIt's perfectly okay if the entire roller of the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 does not touch the side of the boat. 1/2 inch of clearance on either side between the boat hull and the rollers would be a great amount of clearance.
view full answer... - Guide-Ons for a Pontoon Boat and TrailerWe have a couple of great options for pontoon boat guide-ons. First, if you want to go with a roller-style we have # CE27672. The rubber rollers are designed so that they won't scratch the boat. If you like the bunk style we have # CE27671. The bunks on this set will have a bit more surface area than the rollers but eventually would will need to replace the carpet on the bunks. On pontoon boats the guides are supposed to mount more in the center of the trailer so that pontoons will...
view full answer... - How Much Can CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons be Adjusted?The CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27610 measure 17-1/2 inches horizontally. It mounts on 3 inch frames and roughly 3 inches of it is a portion which cannot be adjusted to so you will have approximately 11-1/2 inches that you will be able to adjust the guide-ons. I've added links to video reviews of this product for you to take a look at.

- Replacement Roller Guide On Recommendation for the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-OnsThe rubber rollers by themselves are not available separate, but the roller and brackets are. For that you would want the Replacement Roller-Style Guide-On # CE27612PG.
view full answer... - What is the Angle of the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailersthe CE Smith guide-ons # CE27610 are approximately 15 degrees off 90 degrees. So that would be 75 or 105 degrees depending on which way the guide-on was facing.

- Can CE Smith Roller Style Guide On # CE27610 Be Used in front of AxleThere's no reason you couldn't install the # CE27610 Roller Guide Ons in front of your axle to help guide the boat on the trailer. It would work well for you.
view full answer... - Replacement Upright Assembly for CE Smith Roller Guide Ons for Boat TrailerThe best solution we have would be the Replacement Roller-Style Guide-On # CE27612PG which gives you a single upright with new rollers installed already for your # CE27610. We do not have just the rollers by themselves currently.
view full answer... - Will the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons Fit an EZ Loader Boat Trailer with 4 Inch Tall Frame Yes, the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons part # CE27610 will fit your EZ Loader boat trailer. The brackets work with trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall so your 1-1/2" wide x 4" tall frame will not be an issue. I have attached a sample install video for you as well.
view full answer... - Will CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27610 Help Keep a Mariah 2350 CenteredYes, the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27610 should work well for you. This product is specifically designed to keep your boat centered while loading despite of wind and waves. The guides are made of galvanized steel so they are very strong and will resist corrosion.
view full answer... - Best Self Aligning Boat Loading System for 20 Foot Cobalt BoatThe CE Smith # CE27610 Guide-Ons work well on the back of the boat, but in quick moving water something that's actually self-adjusting like the ARK # AR74FR self-aligning boat trailer loading system which is spring loaded would actively guide your boat to the center of the trailer and would be a better choice. This unit is designed for boats 16-20 feet long, so it'd work perfect for your Cobalt. I've linked you to a product description video featuring the loading system.
view full answer... - Can Roller Style Guide-Ons be Mounted so they Touch or Come Close to Touching the BoatYou are correct that the roller style guide-ons # CE27610 are not meant to support weight. But the boat brushing up against them is to be expected and they will work fine for that. A little bit of space like you said will help to make sure the boat isn't putting too much pressure on the guide-ons.
view full answer... - How Close to the Boat Should CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons Be to a Boat on a TrailerYou will want the boat to be close to touching the rollers on the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610. Since the guide-ons are not meant to support weight you will want to place them so that they are fairly close to the boat but not too far. This is because the guide-ons are meant to help you line up the boat with the trailer better than if they weren't present. If the guide-ons are too far apart it gets harder to determine where the center point between them is. Other than that there...
view full answer... - Need for Additional U-Bolts to Install CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons CE27610The CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 will fit your 2 x 2-inch trailer frame. The standard included brackets work with frame members up to 3-inches wide and 4-1/4-inches tall. It is a good idea to add another u-bolt to each guide-on in your application. I linked our main page for trailer u-bolts where you can see items like CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23103 and # UBZC12X212X525.
view full answer... - Would the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 Work With a 24 foot Wellcraft Coastal Yes, the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 that you referenced should work well with your 24 foot Wellcraft Coastal boat. The uprights of this product angle out slightly which may match up with the angle of your hull, but that is not necessary for these to work properly. These will fit trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall.
view full answer... - Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailer It sounds like you might be looking for roller-style guide-ons like the CE Smith # CE27610.
