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 guides are heavy duty and really nice! The U Bolts are also heavy duty and hold the guides rock solid on my Tee Nee Trailers 1 1/2"x 3 1/2" frame! I really wanted roller guides taller than 15", but found they really measure 21" from the botttom of the guide to the top of the roller! Mounted mine on top of the frame for an extra 1 1/2" of height giving me 21". Very happy and so glad I found your website! Thank you etrailer.com! I will be back!

Love them. Makes loading a boat by myself very easy. I have confidence that loading at the ramp in any weather will be a snap.
by: Ricardo 08/15/2021
We installed them the day we received them not sure what to expect, but we were excited. We took out the boat the following weekend, when it was time to load up our boat we got ready. My wife, with minimal experience, was in charge of the task. She lined it up and voila, easy with no problem at all. We definitely recommend these roller guide-ons.
Comments
After a year of having our guides they have worked great. It makes loading up our boat very easy, every time. We have our daughters loading up the boat now and they are doing it with out a problem.

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.....
by: Dwight 09/03/2022
This was the perfect product for my small boat and trailer. The price was very competitive, given that shipping was included. It arrived promptly, and I'm pleased with the roller guides and the seamless ordering and delivery process. Etrailer is a great company to deal with.
by: Robert 08/01/2022
The CE Smith roller guide is perfect for single-handed load-up of my 15' Klamath. Indispensable in rough or windy water. Not tall enough to be a visual guide when backing the trailer.
by: Bob Z.09/13/2018
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.
by: Walter 09/07/2022
Sturdy and adjustable to the width of your boat to get you centered on your trailer every time. I love em. Would buy again.
by: Pete 06/04/2021

Exactly what I needed! I mounted a set forward of my existing carpet bunks to help better align the boat while loading. These have worked so well, I am ordering a second set to replace the carpet bunks all together.
by: Richard04/05/2022
Good product. Makes it easier to get boat aligned straight on trailer. Very good instructions on installation and the video helps a lot!
by: Robert05/29/2020
Have 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.
by: Michael 07/02/2022
Etrailer had the exact replacement part in stock and delivered it quickly.
by: Douglas11/01/2022
Perfect fit to replace existing roller
by: Christopher11/18/2021
The good. These things work perfectly to guide me onto the trailer and do not mark up my boat, which is white. And they are sturdy so they do not bend and installed in minutes. The bad is that I have them on an old galvanized EZ Loader trailer from 1986. The trailer is not rusting but these guides are. Not terrible yet but when they say they don't make em like they used to. They don't.
by: Robert07/04/2020
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.
by: George03/16/2022
These trailer guides work great. It makes it simple to get your boat back on your trailer.

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!!!
by: David08/06/2021
I really appreciate all these CE Smith Roller style guide ons. I use them to protect my inflatable from hitting the sharp railing where the railing end meets the back of the trailer. I have cut the curved part of the mounting bracket off and just bolted the vertical part in place.
by: Donald04/19/2013
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.
by: Stan 08/16/2022
works just as planned... i Love it
by: Bill 07/12/2022
Easy to install. They did exactly what they were designed to do. I am very pleased. Thanks

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.
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!

See what our Experts say about this CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts
- Would the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 Work With a 24 foot Wellcraft CoastalYes, 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... - 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.

- What is the Pole Width of the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-OnsThe pole width of the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons, # CE27610, measures 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches square. The post also measures 21 inches tall and the roller measures 13 inches long.
view full answer... - 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... - 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... - 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... - 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.

This self-centering roller fits a 12" wide bracket with a 5/8" shaft. In order to use this on your boat trailer you would need to install a keel roller.

Based on the crossmembers and what is already attached to them, I would also not recommend installing a keel roller. Your best...

- Fit of CE Smith CE27610 Roller Guide Ons on EZ Loader Single Axle Boat TrailerThe CE Smith # CE27610 roller Guide-Ons aren't trailer specific, so they'll work for most trailers.

An extra-long kit # CE11416 is available for frames up to 5-1/4 inches tall. The roller itself is 13 inches long, and the guide ons are 21 inches tall, so if they're mounted above the frame member, they'll extend upward for a total height of 21 inches. I've linked...
view full answer... - Possible Guide Upgrade for CE Smith 65" Guide Ons To Prevent BendingThe guide 65” poles/markers on the CE Smith # CE27637 Guide Ons are only meant as markers to show you where the trailer is. While they can endure some pressure in relation to a straight on approach, off angle pressure which can occur with water currents, high wind, and off angle approaches, can cause damage to the guide poles and/or brackets. The leverage exerted by the long poles can cause the poles or brackets to bend. In a way this is good as that much leverage would otherwise bend...

The CE Smith # CE27610 is a little smaller and typically installed on the outside of a trailer frame, but can be used however needed. Where the # CE27672 you have installed are coming from the center of the trailer frame facing out, this would install towards the edge of the frame, for the lack of a better term, and point inwards. The problem is the U-Bolts that are holding...
