Guide Your Boat Into and Out of the Water

When your boat trailer has been backed down the ramp and is partially submerged, these 60" 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 when loading. The PVC pipes also provide a visual aid to help you back your boat trailer down the ramp when you're unloading your boat.


Installation

The posts are simple to install. Slide the PVC pipes over the pre-galvanized steel support posts. Then use the included I-beam clamps to mount the posts on the top or below the trailer's I-beam 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.

  • What Clamping System is Used for 60" Long CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers CE27648
    The 60" Long CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27648 are designed to be installed on I-Beam frames just like you noted in the review video (attached). Some of the review photos you're seeing are from other CE Smith guide-ons that we sell for other trailer frame designs.

  • Which Size Post-Style Guide-Ons Should Be Used On 2009 Century 2001 Boat Trailer
    The best size guide on to get would be the one that works based on where you would attach them to your frame and the height of the boat. Ultimately that is up to you to decide. We have the # CE27620 which are 40" tall and also the 60" tall # CE27640. Both of these would attach to your trailer frame using the U-bolts and bracket. If you would rather attach the guide-ons with I-beam clamps then the # CE27648 is another option. It does not look like you would be able to fit these in the...

  • 60 Inch Guide Ons for Boat Trailer With Rectangular Tube Frame
    The # CE27648 Guide Ons you'd looked at are designed for I-beam trailer frame members, from the photo you provided, it looks like your frame members are a simple boxed in rectangular tube. If that's the case, and the frame members aren't more than 3 inches wide and 4-1/4 inches tall, I'd recommend the # CE27640. These guide ons are exactly the same, but the mounts are designed for a tubular or C-channel frame like you show in the photo. You can see how the guide-ons are installed in the...

  • Why are CE Smith 60 Guide-On Kits Priced Differently
    Part of the difference in price is based on supply-and-demand, competitive pricing, and our price from the manufacturer. Although these have the same dimensions for the Guide-Ons both kits use different mounting techniques. The part # CE27640 uses U-Bolts which fit frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" (can be upgraded up to 5-1/4" tall frames with U-Bolt Kit # CE11416) while the part # CE27648 uses I-Beam clamps instead which are compatible with frames up to 4" wide. So even though they are similar,...

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"...

    The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers part # CE27648 are universal fit boat guide-on designed for I-beam trailer frames up to 4" wide. The closer to the rear they are installed, the more they will assist with loading. That said, you can install them further forward if there is something on the frame mounted in the way.

  • Will Ark Extreme Off-Road Trailer Jack ORJW750D Fit 3" Wide x 5" Tall Trailer Frame?
    It sure will! The Extreme Off-Road Swing-Up Trailer Jack w/ Dual Wheels - Sidewind - 10" Lift - 1,650 lbs - Zinc # ORJW750D you were looking at fits trailer tongues that are up to 3" wide x 6" tall so it will fit perfectly on your 3" x 5" trailer frame.

  • Can White PVC Pipe of CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons be Shortened
    You'd have to also add a new slot to the bottom of the PVC pipe but yes you could shorten the white upright pipe of the # CE27648 if you wanted by cutting it.

  • Recommended Guide-On for a 19 Foot Sea Ray
    From what I could find, it doesn't look like your Sea Ray is excessively tall or anything, so the CE Smith 60 Inch Post Guide-Ons # CE27640 should cover you without issue. I will say, however, that this is designed for standard frames that are up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall. If your trailer uses I-Beams for the frame, the # CE27648 will basically be the same thing but attaches differently on the frame.

  • Available Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers
    There is no one set correct length of guide-ons for a particular boat since the length you need can vary depending on the pitch of the boat ramp and how much of the trailer ends up submerged. The design of the trailer itself also matters since this affects where they can mount. You may also have a preference for a longer or shorter set or for one type or another, such as a roller style like # CE27610 or # FBGR200101 or a post-style like # CE27648. You can see all guide-ons we offer on...

  • Recommended Guide-Ons To Keep 2009 20' Hurricane Boat Straight When Loading On Trailer

The # CE27610 will keep your boat straight while getting it loaded on the trailer via the rollers, where the PVC guide-ons like the # CE27648 you were looking at are only to tell you where your submerged trailer is and will not physically guide the boat...
