Features:
Specs:
Adjustable boat guides can be fine-tuned to work with your boat and your trailer. The galvanized steel support posts mount on top of the crossmember on your pontoon boat trailer's frame. Just slide the posts into the mounting brackets and secure the posts so that the distance between each bunk and pontoon is approximately 2" to 3". The rubber roller guides help to center your pontoon boat during loading and to support 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.

Easily load your pontoon boat with these roller-style guide-ons. Corrosion-resistant posts support 9" rubber rollers with endcaps. They fit trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall. Hardware included.Shipping was very prompt and arrived in good condition. Installation was easy and guides appear to be sturdy and well made. Although I’ve not yet loaded my boat on the trailer since installing the guides, I am confident they will make loading so much easier! 745691
I ordered the guides last year after taking my 18' pontoon boat out, and JUST got to use them at the end of the season this year (10/2019). I usually put the boat in the water in the spring and don't take it out until the fall. I ordered a total for 4 guides - two for the front and two for the rear of the trailer. Because the boat was on the trailer when I installed the guides, it was fairly easy to install them at the specified distance from the pontoons, although I did have to climb under everything to do it! The guides made it a lot easier to get the pontoons aligned with the trailer and onto the runners. In the past, I had to maneuver the boat with a paddle to get it to settle on the trailer properly, while someone slowly pulled the car forward. This year, once I got it all the way on the trailer it dropped down right where it belonged and I pulled it right out of the water. The wind wasn't too bad, but enough that without the guides it probably would NOT have been as easy as it was. I always picked a fairly calm day in the past, but am confident I could get the boat out now on all but the worst of days. I found out after I parked the boat that I had actually moved one of the guides about an inch when I powered the boat up. I did note that the bolts were not as tight as they should be, so I went around and re-tightened and re-aligned all the bolts (only one guide was out of place). I would suggest checking that they are tight before putting the boat on the trailer. They seemed to do exactly what they were meant to do. 722612
I have not had a chance to hook them up and use them, however they seem to be high quality and I look forward to using them. 657205
Love these guides. Coming off the Saginaw Bay can be tricky with the wind and these guide you right on the trailer. My pontoon works perfect loading now that I installed two sets of guides. Easy to install with nice hardware 698394
Easy to install. I ordered two based on my old pontoon trailer but the new trailer does not have all the cross members so I could only install one set. Will put the boat on the water this week to see how well it works. 522920
These are a game changer. I purchased 2 sets for my 20’ pontoon. I put one set on the rear of the trailer and the other set towards the front. I just used it for the first time this weekend and no issues at all. It bumped the pontoons right in line with the trailer and pulled right up first time. It did take some time to install on the trailer because the bolts are quite long. But once right, they stay in place and don’t move. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again!! 553673
Got the folding saw to get free shipping. Got the roller on the pontoon trailer. It made lining the boat on the trailer much easier. 291395
donald h - 09/05/2017This is a great product. The installation was easy and one that I was able to accomplish without any help. The quality of the materials is excellent. I highly recommend these for your pontoon boat. 711389
The best purchase I have ever made. It took me about an hour to install two sets on my trailer. Just got back from the lake and they worked better than I expected. The wind was blowing but the guides put me right on the trailer the first try. I would recommend these to every pontoon owner. 704564
The guides are well made and installed easily. The directions suggest using a deep socket on the U bolts that mount to the frame. I did not have one an just used a wrench which worked, but a deep socket would have cut the installation time in half. I have not actually put the boat in the water yet, so I don't know how well they will work in practice. They look like they should do just fine. 481789
Very easy to install. Great for lining up the pontoon boat. 469834
Larry j - 01/25/2019Ordered these trailer guide-ons for ease in loading my pontoon boat, which was always difficult to re -trailer after a day on the water. These did the trick!! Loading was the easiest I have experienced since owning the boat. Even on windy days, re-trailering was no problem. Thank you for a product that I can say really works! 290176

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 nice product, easy to install, It would be even better if it were about 4" or 5" taller. 152895
Review from a similar CE Smith Roller-Style Guides in Boat Trailer Parts
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
Review from a similar CE Smith Roller-Style Guides in Boat Trailer Parts
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
Review from a similar CE Smith Roller-Style Guides in Boat Trailer Parts
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
Review from a similar CE Smith Roller-Style Guides in Boat Trailer Parts
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

Review from a similar CE Smith Roller-Style Guides in Boat Trailer Parts
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
