Note: Your local municipality requires you to register your trailer with the DMV. An etrailer representative will be reaching out to get information from you for the title.
The adjustable design of this trailer lets you tow almost any type of small boat. You can lay the trailer's bunk boards either side to side or front to back, depending on the watercraft you want to carry. And with 12" diameter wheels and an 86" long trailer tongue, this trailer can support boats up to 14' long and up to 800 lbs.
Install the bunk boards so that they are positioned across the trailer's frame to tow your kayak or surfboard. The bunks provide enough cargo space to tow 2 kayaks at once.
Set the trailer's bunks front to back to hold your jon boat, pontoon boat, or inflatable. You can also adjust the tilt of the bunks to contour to your boat's hull when towing a canoe or dinghy.
This trailer comes with bolster brackets of 2 different heights, so you can choose the brackets that work for your type of boat. Then adjust the swivel brackets to tilt the bunk boards so that they cradle your boat's hull. Finally, the winch stand can be unbolted and moved along the trailer tongue to fit the length of your boat.
If you're towing a jon boat or pontoon, you can use the included hand-crank winch to ease loading and unloading. After installing the included winch stand on the trailer's tongue, mount the winch to the stand. A bow roller bracket, complete with rubber roller, is also included to keep your boat from hitting the winch stand.
The wiring for this trailer has a simple plug-and-play design, so it doesn't require any cutting or splicing to install. As you assemble the trailer, route the main wiring harness through the trailer tongue and down towards the body of the trailer. Then plug the 4-wire end of the tail light harness into the main harness.
Run the wires of the tail light harness along the sides of the trailer frame and plug the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are plugged in, use the included clips to secure the harness to the frame.
When you're ready to connect the trailer to your vehicle, simply plug the trailer end of the main harness into the 4-way flat connector on your vehicle.
The DOT-approved tail lights on this trailer are fully submersible, so you don't have to worry about water damaging the lights when you're loading and unloading your boat. Each tail light has brake, running light, and turn signal functions, as well as side marker lights and reflectors. In addition, these lights are comprised of LEDs, which last longer, burn brighter, and require less power than incandescent bulbs.
Amber side marker lights are included as well. They mount on the trailer's frame to keep the trailer visible from the side.
The frame and fenders on this trailer are made of galvanized steel, giving them excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, even in saltwater. And the marine-grade carpeting on the bunks resists mold and mildew buildup, keeping the wooden bunks protected and free from rot.
This trailer includes a leaf spring suspension system to limit road shock while you tow. A sturdy steel axle runs beneath the trailer frame. The 2 slipper springs on top of the axle flex to absorb the rough motion that can occur when driving over bumpy terrain. Also, the axle, spring hangers, and tie plate are galvanized to resist rust and corrosion.
The trailer's trigger-latch-style coupler connects to a 2" hitch ball. The included safety chains act as an emergency measure if the coupler accidentally disconnects from your hitch ball. Finally, the tongue skid on the underside of the trailer tongue keeps the coupler up off the ground when it's not coupled.

Hello David, I'm elated that your new CE Smith trailer was so simple to put together for you, and I appreciate you providing photos of the finished product. Do you have any adventures planned now that you're ready to tow your boat?

Though the axle, springs, and tires of this trailer are individually rated at significantly more than 800 lbs, the entire assembly with frame is placarded to a derated gross weight of only 800 lbs. The next haul on this trailer, carrying the now completed and fully equipped boat, will be at 784 lbs gross trailer weight, which is therefore at nearly its full rated capacity. If there ARE towing problems, I’ll report, but I expect none, since the trailer frame components seem very well fabricated, the suspension parts axle, springs, wheels, tires appear to be of good quality, and I assembled it bolt-together CAREFULLY! The marketing photos show payloads which appear to be of much smaller weight than my boat, so this heavy of a payload may be unusual for this relatively new design by C.E. Smith just a few years old from my understanding. Tongue weight on my trailer as currently loaded is a bit lower 8.8 than intended, so I’ll be sliding boat forward on trailer several inches during first or second trip to the lake, 8 miles away. Happily, there remains plenty of space on the tongue forward of current station of the moveable winch stand do this.

It’s been a great trailer for over a year now. I had issues with the lights not working properly. After quite an ordeal I found a qualified person to evaluate the problem and it turns out I had wired something the wrong way. Now it’s fixed and everything works perfect. It is fully adjustable so my 11ft Boston Whaler fits and tows flawlessly.

Very well! Loading a Jon boat into a truck, at my age, was a lot of work. Trailering made it easy. I can haul down the road at 65 mph strait and secure. Kit was complete and simple to assemble. Great value.
