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.Great product! I ordered this as an alternative to a $650 rail system. The price was far more reasonable for my budget. I have a 24' pontoon and have struggled getting it straight on the trailer consistently so that the logs fall into the rails over the entire length. Shipping was very fast which I was thankful for. Took about an hour to assemble and install. On my first try this weekend I got the boat on the trailer perfectly. I felt the rear guide nudge the backend over so that it lined right up. Couldn't be happier with this purchase!!!
Doug S - 05/18/2021Shipping 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!

I was told that I wouldn’t need them but they are absolutely fantastic!! The only negative thing that I have found is the bracket has bent a little and I wish that I could buy just the bracket without having to replace everything.
One of the best purchases I have ever made for my new Pontoon boat. This was the first Pontoon boat we have owned and we are trailering it to the lake. After taking just a few times to get it on the trailer the first time, I decided to research guides. I decided on buying 2 sets of these guides. Now I never have any problems getting the boat on the trailer the first time. I highly recommend this product.
Works like a charm, easiest loading ever. Highly recommended, best money spent all year.
I would rate at 5 stars. The ordering was good, shipping very fast. Great products which mounted on trailer easily. Nothing special about the mounting, so I didn’t take any pictures. Thank you, I appreciate your follow-up.
This is an essential for a trailer. When the wind blows it really makes it easy to line up and ride up on the trailer. Under normal conditions, it really is a time saver.
I put the roller guides on my pontoon boat lift. It helps bringing the boat in, especially on windy days. Very pleased. Would be better yet if there was a way to extend them out into the water before the boat has to clear the post of the lift.
The part performs as advertised. The only issue I had was that I lost a hat nut on one of the rollers, therefore I lost the entire roller. No worries however because when I called the vendor to tell them of my issue and to order the part again, they just sent me what I needed to ensure that I was good. CE Smith is a top-notch operation. Great customer service. Would use them again.
Easy to install my trailer was missing the middle set. I don't know I ever loaded the 24fter with out them great products
The order arrived when they said it would. Had a minor roller assembly that was put together so tight that you couldn’t turn it with out a lot of twisting but was cutting the rubber. All three pieces of roller wouldn’t turn. The co was called and again they were right on it and sending me another one right away. Can’t ask for one bit more than that. Thank you Justin. Customer service like this is what makes a great company and customers have nothing to complain about. From the time I called in the order to all the things to follow to the shipping and ups things went very good. Thank everyone of u behind the scenes too, it takes a great team, u people have it!! Thank you, Terry
I put the roller guides on as instructed and finally had a chance to try them out, they helped loading the pontoon in the wind a lot. I got home and moved the roller brackets in closer to the pontoon tubes, I think that will help even more as far as guiding it straight on the trailer. Can't wait to see if that doesn't help even more. I think this was definitely a good purchase!
This item helps some when loading my pontoon boat if hit the roller will move and must be reclined
Best thing I ever bought for my trailer. I wish I found it earlier.
Arrived very quickly and provided a easy Assemble video on the site haven’t taken the barge out yet to know how much it helped will update when we do
Cindy - 05/18/2021We love it. A lot easier to put pontoon on trailer. Fast delivery.
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.
Fast delivery American made product easy to put on and worked great thanks
Ordered 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!
Mounted 2 pr. my self - easy. Highly recommend. Probably still would be married if I had bought these last year, and wealthier.
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!!
Seems like it helps some. Bent one and had to straighten it.
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
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.
donald h - 09/05/2017This item was delivered early and seems to be steadier than I expected. I spent about an hour yesterday trying to install it on my trailer. The installation is simple but the nuts that came with the guide are very difficult to screw on to the brace if you don’t have a power drill that can drive nuts. i eventually gave up and went to Lowe’s and bought different nuts. I will retry the installation today. The only reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5 star was because of the difficulty I had with the nuts.
