- Post-Style Guide
- 22 Inch Tall

- PVC
- CE Smith
These guide-on posts make it easy to load your pontoon boat onto your trailer. They attach to the rear of your trailer and extend out of the water, providing a visual target to center the boat's pontoons around. Mounting hardware included.
Features:
- Guideposts help you to center your pontoon boat as you load it onto your trailer
- Extend out of the water to provide a visual target to center pontoons around
- 1-1/2" Diameter, 16-gauge, pre-galvanized steel tubes are covered with 2" PVC piping for strength and durability
- Install easily on rear crossmember of trailer frame with included hardware - no drilling required
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Quantity: 2 pontoon boat guide-ons
- Application: trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall
- 2 Extra-long U-bolt kits (CE11416; sold separately) are required for mounting on frames up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall
- Post height: 22"
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 22" 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 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 the bunks 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.

Hello George, I receive the package. I am happy with it. I would like to bring to your attention a discrepancy between that packaging and the instructions. The first bullet on the outside of the box indicates to mount the post 2 to 3 inches from the pontoon. The directions inside indicates it to be installed less than 2 inches. I have attached some pictures for you to share with your supplier.

The C E Smith post style guide-ons for my pontoon boats trailer were easy to install. My trailer has 5 3" C channel cross members. I installed the guide-ons on the 2nd an 4th cross members about 1 inch inside the pontoons.
by: Jeff B.08/20/2017
It was always a hassle loading our tritoon without these guides, worked excellent the first time we loaded with them. They lined the toons up to the bunks on the trailer the first try!! I ordered these on a Wednesday and received on Friday.
by: Richard F.03/18/2018
I am very pleased with this product. These guides are really nice, well made, went on easy, and saved a ton of time. I used a slightly longer PVC pipe on the rear guides to help see them when the trailer was submerged. They're now 28" vs 22". Probably not necessary but I tend to overdo things. etrailer is now saved on my favorites for future needs.
by: Alex D11/23/2016
I ordered Two Sets for my Trailer the trailer is 24' long found that putting one set on the second cross member back, and one set on the third cross member from the back of the trailer. works fool proof for me. No accidental drive off. Very pleased with ths great product
by: Larry 09/24/2023
This made putting my pontoon boat back on the trailer a dream!
by: Leo K.06/15/2018
Great product. I bought two sets. Shipment was extremely fastttttt. I glued the PVC cap on and ran a stainless steel self tapper on the inside of the PVC so they don't blow off when trailering unloaded even though Anna @etrailer said they SHOULD NOT...........I don't like the word SHOULD!!!

by: Steve S.03/30/2017
Bought two sets for my pontoon/trailer. Work well. I did put longer PVC on the rear post so I could see them on approach. Strong enough to hold in wind. I did make the mistake of driving up on one and bent it over. Was unable to "bend" it back, just went by a muffler shop and they were able to fix my error. Would buy again and suggest where there is low wind and no current. For stronger, I would go with full length system to insure no "misses".
Good product....good value.
by: Gary Janssen10/02/2014
Just what I was looking for to aid our boat launching.
Easy to install.
Price is right.
Would like to see plastic closures for the open end of the frame.
DNR is all about weed transfer and small openings should be closed up.

It will be real handy putting my boat on the trailer
by: Michael 05/28/2020
Best addition I've made to my boat! Makes trailering the boat extremely easy when time to leave the water. My wife struggled to load the boat, but now does it with ease. Highly reccomend these guide ons.

A year later and this product still rocks!! Very awesome!
by: Kevin04/02/2022
the guides were lighter gauge than I imagined and a 25 ft. tritune boat is heavy enough that bends the guides when loading the boat in the wind.
good quality but for my application, too light.
by: Stanley11/17/2017
Product works great can put pontoon on trailer by myself no need to have friends hold ropes to guide on

Still a great product like the way the pontoon hits the guide and straightens itself out
by: Kevin 07/28/2022
Installed these yesterday, used them for the first time today. Easy to install, worked as advertised. I usually have trouble with the rear of my boat not being centered on the bunks coming out of the ramp due to back end still floating. These guides kept everything lined up till the weight was on the trailer. I installed mine one inch off from log width. I did extend the pvc tubes to 30" per an earlier review I read. This kept them just visible above the water surface at the ramp I use.
by: Joseph H10/12/2019
Purchased this item to use on my pontoon trailer when removing in the late fall. All hardware works as described...only issue are the pvc tubes that are provided: way too short. Backed the trailer down the loading ramp and the miniscule tubes disappeared under the water kind of negating the reason for buying this thing in the first place. Went to Lowes and bought a 6' length of pvc, cut it to the correct height to fit under the pontoon and all is good. Manufacturer: maybe have your ppl measure the undercarriage of a pontoon to get functional clearance on these pvc pieces? Just a thought.
by: Alexander03/23/2013
The picture shown above has the bracket mounted backwards from the instructions in the package. The package instructions have the bracket facing inboard (not outboard as shown in your picture).

Hi Alexander, hopefully the instructions didnt cause too much trouble. The instructions are mainly a guide for attaching the guide-on post to the trailer frame. Whether the post is situated facing outboard or inboard is up to you, so you can mount it in whichever position best suits your trailer setup.
by: Paul A Hood09/30/2014
The ordering was easy and quick. It arrived on schedule and it was easy to install. I did not use the product for a pontoon boat. I used it on my 22 foot off shore fishing boat trailer to act as a guide on the rear of the trailer when loading my boat. I did not use the tubing over the bracket. I installed rollers on the inside and mounted my trailer lights near the top of the brackets to keep them out of the water when loading and unloading the boat. It looks perfect and I know it will work well for my needs.
by: Dwight 11/19/2021
I have not used these yet and won’t be until spring as I live in MN. I will be installing them on my boat lift not on a trailer. I usually go out fishing alone. If there is any wind at all, even mild wind, it Is very difficult to keep the back part of the boat in the center of the lift while going to the front to turn the wheel to lift the boat up. I can hold the front of the boat in the center of the lift with one hand and turn the lifting wheel with the other hand. This should work well to keep the boat very close to exact center when coming in from fishing. I will adjust the Guide Ons so they are about 2” outside of the rear rim of the boat.
by: Bob K.09/25/2015
I received these post guides for my Yacht Club trailer to guide my 20 foot pontoon on to the trailer bunks. I installed them on Wednesday to the trailer about 2 inches from the inside of the pontoons. I did add some sections of hose over the threaded ends of the clamps to prevent any damage to the pontoons in the event that the boat would approach the trailer off center. My wife and I loaded the boat on the trailer this Thursday and it went on slick and easy as could be.
by: Tom 08/08/2022
Easy installation and allows boat to drive on with no worries of not being lined up properly on the trailer. Would recommend the CE post style guide-ons for loading your pontoon boat.
by: Lance12/28/2017
I have a pontoon boat , and it was very hard to line up the boat especially with any wind blowing to get the boat out of the water onto the trailer . Now it is so simple , I bought 2 sets one for the back of the trailer and one for half way up the trailer . best thing I have bought, these are a must - lance y,
by: Mike V.07/25/2016
I attached these pontoon boat trailer guide ons yesterday. They made a huge difference when I trailed our 20' pontoon boat. They are more substantial than I expected and mounted easily in about 10 minutes with all included hardware.
E-trailer web site was very user friendly and they shipped immediately.
by: Tim S.06/09/2017
These Guide-Ons were the best purchase I ever made. When I drive our pontoon onto the trailer it does not even have to be perfectly straight, the boat is forced into place every time.

- Availability of U-Bolts of CE Smith Guide Ons # CE27670For just the U-bolts of the # CE27670 we have the part # CES44FR.
view full answer... - Post Style Guide On that Fits Tri-Toon Pontoon Boat TrailerWe 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.
view full answer... - Replacement Installation Hardware Kit for CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons CE27670Many of our boat trailer guide-on kits like Fulton 16-Inch Cushioned Rollers # FBGR200101 include mounting hardware that will accommodate your trailer's 2 x 4-inch frame. The CE Smith Replacement Hardware Kit for CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons, part # CE11452-A that you referenced, will fit your frame and are usable with several different models of their guide-ons, such as # CE27670. All boat trailer parts including hardware kits are shown on the linked page.

- What Material Is Used For CE Smith Replacement Hardware Kit for Post-Style Guide-OnsI 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.
view full answer... - Should Post-Style Guide-Ons Be Installed on Inside or Outside of Pontoons You will want to install the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27670 on the inside of the pontoons (see attached image). This will be just as effective when trying to load up the boat so putting posts on the outside, which will also add to the trailer's overall width, just isn't necessary. Mounting them on the inside also allows for a cleaner appearance since they won't be visible once the boat is in place. The CE Smith # CE27670 includes two guide-ons so it will be all that's needed...

- Guide Ons for a 22 Foot Pontoon Boat and EZ Load TrailerPontoon boats normally use guide-ons that mount in the center of the trailer, and even with the three pontoons on your aptly named Aqua Patio Tritoon having lifting strakes, the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE27670 should still work just fine. The strakes should not affect the posts and there looks to be plenty of space to fit the posts between the pontoon.
view full answer... - Will CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers CE27670 Fir 2 x 2-Inch Trailer FrameThe CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE27670 will fit any frame size up to 3-inches wide and 4-1/4-inches tall so on your 2 x 2-inch trailer frame it will be an easy fit. The kit includes 2 pontoon boat guide-ons. Check with your state Department of Transportation for restrictions regarding maximum trailer width. Installation instructions are linked.
view full answer... - Will the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-On # CE27660 Fit on a Pontoon Boat TrailerThe CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons, # CE27660, were not designed for pontoon boats, but you may be able to make them fit depending on the design of your trailer frame. Since most pontoon boat trailers use guide-ons inside of the bunks, you will want to make sure you have room for them with your boat on the trailer. It would be best if your trailer had a frame rail under the bunk boards that ran parallel to them. Keep in mind, these are guide-ons only, not bunk board supports. I spoke with...
view full answer... - Are The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Compatible With Tri-Toon Boat Trailers?The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers - 22" Tall - 1 Pair # CE27670 will work just fine for a Tri-Toon. You would just install the second set on the outside of the middle pontoon instead of the inside. They would guide you onto all 3 of your bunk board locations.
view full answer... - Should 2 Sets of Guide Ons be Used for Pontoon Boat TrailerTypically people install two of the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27670 on their pontoon boat trailer but it is really up to you. You can install as many or as few as you would like. Two sets would give you a really good idea where you need to be though.

- What are the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons Made OfYes, the pipe will spin freely on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons part # CE27670. I called my contact at CE Smith and they informed me that the pipes are made of a standard schedule 40 PVC. You are more than welcome to go to your local hardware store to get a longer set but we do offer these in 40" tall part # CE11339 and 60" tall part # CE11354. You can always just trim what you don't need off with a hacksaw.
view full answer... - Do Post Style PVC Boat Trailer Guide Ons SpinThe PVC pipes of the CE Smith Post Guide Ons # CE27670 that you referenced do not spin. They actually have a slit cut into the bottom of them that lines up with a groove on the elbow fitting that prevents them from spinning. These aren't intended to be physical guides so much as visual guides.
view full answer... - What are the Dimensions for the Legs on CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons The legs in the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons, # CE27670, measure 15 inches on one end and 12 inches on the other end of the L-shaped leg. The white tube covers measures 18 inches without the caps. The caps by themselves measured 2 inches tall.
view full answer... - Replacement Carpeted Bunk Boards and Marine Carpeting for Refurbishing Pontoon TrailerYes, for refurbishing your vintage pontoon trailer the marine grade carpet we offer is ideal. You can use either pre-made replacement carpeted bunks like the 7-foot # CE27845 or one of the other pairs shown on the linked page, or you can re-carpet your existing bunks using our rolls of 18-inch-wide marine carpet # CE11349. The second linked page displays all sizes and colors of marine carpet. All you need to apply it to your wooden bunks is a heavy-duty stapler which you'll find at your...
view full answer... - Installation Location of CE Smith Post-Style Pontoon Boat Trailer Guide-OnsThe Guide-Ons are designed to make loading a pontoon boat onto a partially submerged trailer easier, and are usually installed on the rear of the trailer. The top portion of the Guide-Ons would be visible above the surface of the water, allowing you to line up the boat with the trailer. Typically the front of the trailer would be visible above the water, so guide-ons would not be needed, but there is no reason you could not install them on the front if you wish.
view full answer... - Will the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-On # CE27660 Fit on a Pontoon Boat TrailerThe CE Smith bunk style guide-ons # CE27660 were not designed for pontoon boats, but you may be able to make them fit depending on your trailer frame design. If you are only needing them for guide-on purposes, the CE Smith guide-ons # CE27670 may work better for you. This guide-on mounts to your frame rails that run perpendicular to the bunk boards, so you can mount them at the rear, middle or front of the trailer.
view full answer... - Where Should the CE Smith Guide-Ons # CE27670 be MountedWhen it comes to guide-ons, like the part # CE27670 that you referenced, it actually is all up to you. If you check out some of the photos that customers have uploaded on the product page you can see that some people have maybe 4" of space between the pontoon boat and the guide-on while others have it right next to the pontoon boat. They really are mounted according to preference.
view full answer... - Replacement Metal Uprights for CE Smith Guide Ons # CE27670For replacement metal posts for the CE Smith Guide Ons part # CE27670 that you have you'd need the part # CE27608PG and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Using Pontoon Guides For Flat Bottom Jon Boat Trailer ApplicationYes. The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers - 22" Tall - 1 Pair, # CE27670, can be used for a flat bottomed jon boat. The Guide-Ons can be positioned on the outside of the frame like you mentioned in the way the taller posts often are on fishing or ski boats.

- Recommended Pontoon Boat Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat TrailerThe pontoon trailer guide-ons only come in a set of 2 as that is all that is needed, although you can add more if you believe that it is necessary. That all just depends on how confident you are about staying on the right track once you have started guiding your pontoon onto your boat trailer. You will want to position them on your boat trailer so that they span the open space on the underside of your pontoon boat (see attached picture). There are 2 different style of guides that you can...
