CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts - CE27760

  • Post-Style Guide
  • 60 Inch Tall
  • Galvanized Steel
  • PVC
  • CE Smith

Lighted guide-on posts make it easy to load your boat onto your trailer and safer to transport it at night. 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 assist you in centering your boat as you load it onto your trailer
    • 1-1/2" Diameter, 16-gauge, pre-galvanized steel tubes are covered with 2" PVC piping for strength and durability
    • Simple installation on your trailer's rear frame rail with included hardware
  • LED lights ease loading process and make trailer more visible at night
    • Glows amber at front, bright red at rear
    • Alerts other drivers to your position
    • Makes trailer easy to see while you are backing it up or loading your boat
    • Features 1-piece, sealed units that are shockproof and waterproof
    • Activates automatically with your trailer's tail lights
    • Longer-lasting and more energy efficient and durable than incandescent lights
  • Simple installation
    • Wires into your trailer's tail lights
    • Adjusts out to 19" from trailer
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • Quantity: 2 boat guide-ons
  • Application: trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall
    • Extra-long U-bolt kit (CE11416; sold separately) is required for mounting on frames up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall
  • Height: 60"
    • May be trimmed to a minimum of 40"


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


When your boat trailer has been backed down the ramp and is partially submerged, these 60" tall guideposts that are mounted at the rear corners of the frame will stick out of the water, giving you two highly visible targets to guide your boat between for loading. The built-in LED lights on the posts stand out at night, making it easier for you to load your boat in the dark and for other drivers to see your trailer when you're on the road. The pre-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 them correctly matches the width of your boat.


Pre-Galvanized Steel

Pre-galvanized steel parts are stamped from a sheet of steel after it has already been galvanized. The edges of the pre-galvanized parts often lose their zinc coating during the stamping process. Because of the thinness of the coating less than 1 mm and the fact that the edges remain exposed, pre-galvanized parts can begin to oxidize and rust quickly, so its recommended that they be primed and painted.

  • Troubleshooting CE Smith Trailer Guide Ons Not Lighting Up
    If LED lights are wired backwards they won't work and no damage would be done to them so it's possible your CE Smith Guide Ons part # CE27760 are wired backwards and you could simply reverse the wiring to get it to work again. With this kit though the wire that has the ring terminal is for the ground and the other should attach to the trailer running light circuit. Most likely this is how you wired it up so I'd make sure the ground connection is solidly connected to the frame of the trailer...

  • Recommended Post Style Guide-Ons for a 2007 Bayliner 19.4 Boat and Trailer
    For boats like your 2007 Bayliner 19.4 I find that the 60" CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27640 are the correct height. Do remember that you want the additional height over the boat as the back of the trailer will be submerged in water. We also have the 60" CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights # CE27760. The lights are great if you are someone who is constantly launching or retrieving your boat early in the morning or late at night. They are also helpful if you have to maneuver...

  • Can CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27760 Be Used on 1991 Trailstar with 1" x 3" Trailer Frame
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers, # CE27760, are designed to be mounted to your boat trailer's side frame rails, not the cross member. The included mounting hardware accommodates trailer frames up to 3 inches wide and 4-1/4 inches tall. I spoke with my contact at CE Smith and for smaller trailer frames you will just want to use a treated piece of lumber or another piece of metal to take up the additional space in the u-bolts.

  • Replacement Upright Section for CE Smith Bunk Guide Ons
    I am not totally sure which CE Smith Guide Ons you have but we have the part # CE27605PG which fits the # CE27640 and # CE27760. This is 39 inches tall. For a 18 inch tall section you'd want the part # CE27608PG or if you have the upright that angles out we have the part # CE27609PG.

  • Available Guide-On Heights for Boat Trailer
    They sure do. They're available in several different lengths shorter than the 75 inch high # CE27636 guide-ons that you'd looked at. Here are the un-lighted versions: • 65 inches tall, part # CE27637 • 60 inches tall, part # CE27640 • 40 inches tall, part # CE27620 If you'd prefer lighted guide-ons, those are available as well in certain heights: • 60 inches tall, part # CE27760 • 40 inches tall, part # CE27740

  • Post Style Guide On that Fits Tri-Toon Pontoon Boat Trailer
    We actually have a boat guide on that was designed for pontoon boat trailers with the part # CE27670 which is better designed for the frame styles of pontoon boat trailers. The # CE27760 wouldn't work as it would need a different frame style.

  • Boat Guide-On Compatibility with 19 inch Distance from Frame to Inside of PVC
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers - 60" Tall - 1 Pair # CE27760 adjusts out 19 inches from the trailer frame. This is the farthest adjustment of any of our kits. The actual length of the bent frame is 21 inches from the middle of the bend to the end of the horizontal tube that connects to your trailer frame. With the 2 inch PVC that covers it, the actual clearance is 19 inches which will from your measurements touch your boat hull unless you were to...

  • Recommended Paint and Primer For Protecting Uprights On CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons
    You do have a couple choices for paint and primer on the Replacement Upright # CE27605PG for CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons # CE27760. As most boat trailers are either painted or galvanized you can paint the upright to match. You can use a cold galvanized spray paint to build up the coating and provide adequate protection. Otherwise you can use a self etching primer and spray enamel paint to properly bond and adhere to the surface.

  • How to Install the CE Smith Guide-Ons on a Ranger RT188P Boat Trailer With Rear Step
    Yes, there are. To attach the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons item # CE27760 to your Ranger Trailer RT118P you will want to use the included hardware that comes with the Guide-Ons. We had a customer mount these guide-ons on the same trailer and I attached a picture of them below. If you look at the image of them installed you can see that they did use the included hardware by drilling holes in the steel that would allow the bolts to pass through. He used the CE Smith Guide-On Mounting U-Bracket...

  • Is There a Padded Cover Available for CE Smith 60 inch Post Guide Ons
    The tallest padded cover we offer for CE Smith guide ons is 48 inches like the part # CE27901. The good news is that they may be shorter than the part # CE27760 but you could still use them. You'd just have to position the pads where they'd be needed on the posts.

  • Can the Wiring of the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights Route Through PVC Pipe
    Yes, the wiring for the lights at the end of the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers # CE27760 is designed to run through the pipes and then gets zip tied to the L-bracket like what you see in the picture I attached.

  • Wiring CE Smith Post-Style Guide-On LED's To Brake Light Circuit Versus Running Lights
    The LED lights on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27760 do not have separate wiring for only the red portion of the LED Cap Light # CE27656A. They are normally used to act as running lights to make maneuvering the trailer easier in low light conditions as well as providing an extra marker light for other vehicles on the road to better see the boat and trailer. If you would rather wire these lights to your brake lights circuits there would not be an issue with that. Do understand...

  • Recommended Post Style Guide On 60 Inches Tall With 90 Degree Upright For Boat Trailer
    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 60" Tall - Black - 1 Pair # CE27646 will give you a 90 degree angle. The similar white # CE27640 with the 60 inch height will give you close to that angle but not quite as precise angling out a little more. We also have a lighted option in the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers - 60" Tall - 1 Pair # CE27760 if you have a desire for a more clear visual guide at dusk or dawn.

  • Installing CE Smith Guide-Ons on a Ranger RT188P Boat Trailer With Rear Step
    I do see that it does appear difficult to install these CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers # CE27760 on your 2022 Ranger RT118P Trailer. In looking at the image of them installed on the trailer in our review you can see that they did use the included hardware by drilling holes in the steel that would allow the bolts to pass through. He used the CE Smith Guide-On Mounting U-Bracket # CES94FR to identify the location where the bolts would need to pass through.

    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27648 are going to be for your larger boat trailers that will use an I-beam frame. For your 2008 Bear Trailer with the square frame I recommend the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights # CE27760. These will mount to your frame properly to help you guide on your boat. It also includes LED cap lights that will make your trailer more visible to other drivers as well as help you if having to load the trailer when it is dark. If your up to 3"...

  • Could CE Smith Guide Ons part # CE27760 Attach to Trailer Frame that is 1.5 inch by 6 inch
    Since your boat trailer has a frame that is too large for the included hardware of the CE Smith Guide Ons part # CE27760 to fit your only option would be to have the brackets welded to the trailer frame.

  • Are Connectors of CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights # CE27760 Water Tight
    If you wanted to seal the connections of the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights # CE27760 you'd be able to with heat shrink like the # DW05450 which would work well. But aside from that or sealing them in a different way the connections are not water tight.

  • Recommended Guide Ons for 19 Foot Sea Ray Open Bow Boat and Trailer
    For a boat that size I would go with the 60 inch guide-ons, part # CE27760. These guide-ons should work well with your 19 Foot Sea Ray Open Bow Boat and Trailer. 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. You can see a product description video for the Guide-Ons by clicking the provided link.

  • Install Instructions for the CE Smith Post Style Guide-Ons on a Double Step Nitro Z18 Trailer
    It looks like the spot in front of your rear step could work as a mounting spot for the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers # CE27760. I took a look at the instructions, and they only preface that the guides should be installed as far back as possible, so since your step is preventing you from going all the way back, the spot in front would be the farthest you could go. You are still going to need to drill an 1/8" hole into your frame to ground the lights,...

  • What Material Is Used For CE Smith Replacement Hardware Kit for Post-Style Guide-Ons
    I spoke with my contact at CE Smith and they told me that the U-shaped brackets in the Replacement Kit part # CE11452-A are galvanized. They said the U-bolts, washers and nuts are zinc-plated. The caps are PVC. This kit is designed to work with models CE27620, 27625, CE27640, 27645, CE27670, CE27740, and CE27760.
