Guide-on posts make it easy to load your boat onto your trailer and back your trailer down the ramp. They attach to the rear of your trailer and extend out of the water, providing visual targets to center the boat between during loading.


Features:

  • Guideposts provide a visual target on your trailer to help you load and unload your boat
    • Extend out of the water to help you center your boat while loading
    • Assist you in backing your trailer down the boat ramp
  • 16-Gauge, pre-galvanized steel posts are strong and durable

  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • Application: trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall

  • Overall height: 40"
  • Steel post dimensions: 18" tall x 1-1/2" diameter
  • PVC Pipe diameter: 2-3/8"
  • Quantity: 2 boat guide-ons


Note: Check with your state Department of Transportation for restrictions regarding maximum trailer width.


Guide Your Boat Into and Out of the Water with Ease

When your boat trailer has been backed down the ramp and is partially submerged, these 40" tall guideposts that are mounted on the rear corners of the frame will stick out of the water, giving you 2 highly visible targets to guide your boat between for loading. The PVC pipes also provide a visual aid to help you back your boat trailer down the ramp when you're unloading and loading your boat.


Installation

The posts are simple to install. Slide the PVC pipes over the pre-galvanized steel support posts. Then mount the posts on the top or below the trailer frame, as close to the rear corners as possible. Adjust the posts so that the distance between each post and your boat is less than 1".


Pre-Galvanized Steel

Pre-galvanized steel parts are stamped from a sheet of steel after it has already been galvanized. The edges of 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 it's recommended that they be primed and painted.

  • Boat Guide Ons that Extend Out Longer than 13 inches from Trailer Frame

  • Replacement End Caps For The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626
    Hi Gary, Replacement end caps for the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 come in a 2pk under part # CES74FR. There isn't a single pack so I recommend just hanging onto the extra incase you end up having another one pop off.

  • How to Upgrade 40" CE Smith Boat Guide-Ons to 60" Tall Guide-Ons
    The padded covers we have for the 40" Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 you purchased can be found as part # CE27902 for 36" tall pads. If you want to upgrade to 60" tall guide-ons you can do so with part # CE11354 which comes in a quantity of 1 so you'll need 2 for your setup. For these you need the 48" tall pads # CE27903 for 48" instead.

  • How to Choose Correct Height for Post-Style Boat Trailer Guide-Ons
    The best way to determine the height needed is to measure from the top of your trailer frame to the top of the sides of your boat. If the 40" Tall Guide-Ons # CE27626 sit right at or slightly above the sides of your boat then the shorter will work for you. Otherwise the 60" Tall Guide-Ons # CE27646 will be the better option. These posts are made of PVC pipe so in reality you can just get the 60" tall kit and then cut them to the desired height once you get your boat to the water. Attached...

    So there isn't an option for black guide-ons with LED lights; the only color for the guide-ons with LED lights is White, which is the following part number: - CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers - 40" Tall # CE27740 If you really wanted the guide-ons in Black and were okay with not having the LEDs on top, you can get those with the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 40" Tall # CE27626.

  • Replacement Option For Damaged Fulton Boat Guide
    I have a replacement option for you, but I reached out to my contact at Fulton and unfortunately just the post is not available for the Fulton Boat Guide - Galvanized Steel Construction - Cushioned Rollers - 16" Tall # FBGR200101 you have on your trailer as it is only sold as a kit. Instead I recommend replacing your guides with the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 40" Tall - Black - 1 Pair # CE27626 as they have replacement parts available should you ever damage one....

  • Will CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 Fit a 2 Inch Wide by 4 Inch Tall Trailer Frame
    CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 were designed to fit trailer frames that are up to but no larger than 3 inches wide and 4-1/4 inches tall. At 2 by 4 inches your frame does meet that description! I have linked a video review for you.

  • How is the 40" Height Measured on CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons
    You are correct about the measurement. The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 are measured from the bottom where it is galvanized to the top of the cap on the PVC pipes. This measurement is the overall height which is 40".

  • Will the PVC Tubes Come Off the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-On If the Boat Is Launched Too Far
    The tubes on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-On part # CE27626 are notched which then allows them to be held in placing by lining these notches up with the tab on the post. This will then keep the tubes attached if you were to launch your trailer too far under water. There is also the option of running a single self tapping screw though the tube and into the post if you do have issues but I do not feel you will have any problem with the above.

  • Will The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons CE27626 Fit A 1-1/2" x 3" Beam?
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 will work very nicely with the 1-1/2" x 3" beam on your Shorelander Lund Trailer. The included u-bolts and brackets will fit frames up to 3" wide and 4-1/4" tall, so your frame will be well within parameters for fitment.

  • Where To Properly Mount Post-Style Guide-Ons On A Boat Trailer
    When it comes to installing The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626, ideally you would want to install them as close to the back of the trailer as possible, but like you said it comes down to being a personal preference. The guide-ons are made out of a 16-gauge, pre-galvanized steel that are strong and durable. The black PVC pipes slide over the steel posts so you can see your submerged trailer. The guides have a simple installation on the rear crossmember of the...

  • Are There Extensions for the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers
    Hey Vickie, thanks for reaching out! I have an alternative solution for you, but the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27610 don't have an extension. What you can do instead is also install the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 so you'll have your rollers making contact with your boat, but then these uprights to help make sure you can see the guides above the water.

  • Guide-Ons For Boat Trailer to Help Boat to Load Centered
    Hey Phil, There sure is something you can get to help getting the boat to load centered, which are boat guide-ons. These will work so long as your boat trailer has a frame up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall, and are the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 75" Tall - Black # CE27626 or White # CE27620. These are just posts to help you visually but there are also bunk-style guide-ons that help hold it while you're loading if you prefer that style. These work with frames up to 3"...

  • Do Post-Style Guide Ons Have Any Flex in Them
    I think that question is dependent on how much flexing you're talking about. The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 are made out of PVC pipe so there is some flex that can happen, but a heavy boat could easily snap the PVC if you're needing them to flex quite a bit. I would try to find a happy medium in their position. It will be okay for the boat to touch them but I wouldn't put them in a spot where the boat will be putting a lot of pressure on them. You'll just need to play with...

  • Are Extension Brackets Available for the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Part # CE27626
    The steel posts on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons part # CE27626 can actually be adjusted so that they sit 13" from the outside of your trailer. They do not make any longer steel posts for this kit but it should not be needed unless you had a really wide boat and short trailer. I am sure they will work just fine for you.

  • How Far Does CE Smith Post-Style Guide-On Protrude From Trailer Frame
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons, part # CE27626 can be adjusted to a length of 13-inches from the trailer frame. These guide-ons can fit trailer frames up to 3-inches wide and 4-1/4 inches tall. If your trailer frame measures between 3-inches and 5-1/4 inches wide you can use part # CE11416 which is an extra-long U-bolt kit for the guide-ons

  • Are CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Meant to Touch the Boat or Only for Visual Aid
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 are really for visual aid. The black section you'll see while loading your boat is made out of PVC and while it will be okay with a soft nudge from your boat, if you were to press your boat up against it and use it to guide your boat on the trailer that way it would only be a matter of time before the PVC would break.

  • Will CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Work With G3 Eagle 166 Boat Trailer
    Based on your 30" measurement yes, the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27626 will work well with your boat trailer setup. You can place them in front of the fender, behind it, or add a pair in both locations.
