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.

Today we're going to be taking a look at and installing the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers, part number CE27610. Keep your boat centered during the loading process despite wind and waves with these roller-style guide-ons. They help support your boat and keep it centered while loading it onto your trailer. The 13-inch rubberized rollers help protect your boat and gently guide it on. It's 21 inches tall, and it's adjustable to accommodate different size boats. It's made out of a galvanized steel construction, so it's going to resist rust and corrosion, and it comes with all the hardware you need to install it. Now that we've gone over some features, I'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed.
We're here at the rear of the boat trailer, and the first thing we need to do is go ahead and install our bracket. When choosing our location for our bracket, we're going to put it as close as possible to this crossmember here, and that's going to give us more rigidity. We have a narrow frame here today, so our bracket placement is going to go underneath, and our U-bolts are going to go diagonal. If it we're a wider frame, we would just do it normally, like this. Let's go ahead and put that in place, and we're going to use the flat U-bolt like that. That one's going to go first.
We'll take the washer first, put that on underneath, hold it in place, and then the lock nut underneath. We'll get that started and then we'll do the other side. Keep in mind everything we're going to do here, we're just going to repeat the same stuff on the other side. Then now we're going to go ahead and grab our U-bolt with the arch in it and do it over the top, just like that. Then we'll repeat the same step, put our hardware on the bottom. We're not going to tighten these down all the way just yet.
We're just going to loosely install them. Now I'm just going to go ahead and snug these up just a little bit before we put our posts in, but not too much because we still want to be able to slide that in there. We'll just alternate back and forth, making sure that it goes up even. Now let's grab our upright post and slide it into the bracket. We'll keep it about that position, and we'll just tighten it down a little bit more, and then we can fine tune it later. Once that's tightened down, let's go ahead and put our cap on, and then we've got it.
That's going to complete our look at the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers, part number CE27610.

It 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! 651632
very well built / except wont fit all trailers / I am at trailer no 2 that I will have fabricate mounts to mount them on 593867
very nice product, easy to install, It would be even better if it were about 4" or 5" taller. 152895
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
This is a replacement product for my boat trailer. The original guide-on set lasted 15 years of hard use before failure. 641555
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
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
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
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
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!!! 186573
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
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
If you are new to boating, these are so helpful towards loading your boat. They mount super easy. Once again etrailer.com has exceeded my expectations with shipping and quality of product. I am really starting to like this website...:) 554090
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
Product was good, only issue it that e-trailer sent me a used or returned item. Everything work just fine. This light had some cog webs inside the mounting area. 422127
This is a very well constructed product. Heavy duty materials are used. It is adjustable and easy to install. I did find it helpful to use a clamp to hold it in place while I tightened the nuts. Even though it is Christmas the delivery was quite prompt. I am very pleased with these boat guides and would not hesitate to recommend them and your company to a friend. 733651
