CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers - 65" Tall - U-Bolt Hardware - White - 1 Pair

Great heavy duty product but description notes that the brackets fit trailers ‘up to 4” wide.’ In reality the U Bolts have an interior diameter of 3 3/8. See image. Had to return after speaking with customer service (both were very nice).1731305

That is not good to hear at all. So, I went out to the warehouse as well to get my own measurement of our stock, and found the same measurement. I have sent in an update on our site to make sure that the correct information is out there from now on. You should also, be hearing from our customer service within the next 24-48 hours.

Great product. Exactly as described and prompt delivery. Installed them, but have not had a chance to use them in loading boat as yet. Only negative was packaging. White plastic poles need to be protected from rolling around and getting scratched up against metal brackets. I had to sand both plastic poles to remove rough edges and scratches caused by shipping. The sanding removes the original glossy smooth finish on poles.1332529

It is disappointing that it arrived and the poles needed to be smoothed out. I will have our customer service team reach out to you.

Guide-Ons work great. An absolute MUST if you need to launch and recover boat solo. I added pads to the poles and tightened up clearance to boat which really helped in alignment.

These trailer guides were the easiest after market accessories to install. The quality is excellent and the simplicity to install amazing. 699655

These guides have proven to be very helpful!! The large pontoon boat I purchased was challenging when trying to load it on the trailer- especially when my wife had the duty to get it on straight. Now it has made the loading of the boat extreme easier and a whole lot less frustrating and has helped our marriage They work great !!!!

I purchased the HD 65" tall guide posts for my shorelandr boat trailer.
Everything in this kit was excellent.
The galvanized finish was very thick in all over.
I purchased the taller set so that I could cut the posts to custom match the height I wanted.
The PVC posts are the heavy wall thickness tubing.
The u-bolts are excellent strength and assembled without any problems.
I have used this setup for over a year now and I would never be without it.
Loading my boat in high wind conditions is straight and controlled positioning onto the trailer bunks.
I highly recommend this product.1605172

Excellent product. Quality galvanized metal and PVC. About 30 minutes to install both sides. Very easy to adjust to the desired position. E-Trailer’s customer service is unmatched; I returned a product earlier this week that did not fit, and replaced it with these post guide-ons. Delivery in 48 hours all the way down to S. Georgia. Have not used the product yet, but am confident they will serve their purpose for years to come. If not, I’ll update my comments.1273527

After a year of use my initial review remains unchanged. If you are on the fence as to whether this product is worth the price, my suggestions is to go for it. Be sure of the size and fitment of course, but worth the every penny.

Very easy to assemble on trailer will be trying it out this weekend I’m sure it will work great as I have read allot of reviews and everyone seems to rate them highly.1326649

It’s working great, especially on windy days.

Looks good but on delivery, box was busted open, parts where loose and plastic bag was ripped open with nuts and washers are missing plus 2 u-bolts have damaged threads.

1-Part# u-bolt formed (15261G)
4-Part# hex nuts (10830G)
4-part# lock washers (10970G)
4-part# washers (10960G)1594548

I am sorry that the box had broken open before delivery. Customer Service will be in contact so we can have the missing hardware sent out for you.

After watching the video, I decided to try this product. My order was immediately processed and shipped. When examining the parts, I was impressed by the weight of the 12 guage steel bars and PVC covers. There are different ways to install but I chose not to cover the outer frame. I loosely installed the hardware and the carefully slid the posts in to my liking. My wife launches and loads the boat while I do the trailer thing. We cannot believe the difference ! The poles provide a great picture site and easily guides the boat's inner rails and on to the trailer. What we both will say, "Why didn't we use these years ago" !907217

I just completed installation on my boat trailer. It took little time and is solid as a rock. I can't wait to load my boat without missing the bunks. This product came with all needed parts and as described. 756408

Great product. Easy assembly except one bolt hole had some excess galvanizing that wouldn’t allow the bolt to push through, but the bolt screwed right in with a wrench.1614210

The guide-ons were made of good quality, but were not helpful in my case on a pontoon trailer. The side curtain panels that go around the boat kept me from seeing the guide-ons at the time when I needed to, even if I stood up at the drivers seat, I could not see them. After hitting them several times, in the blind, I ended up taking them off, and going back to trying to learn to use the bunk boards again.1071247

Our family bought a 24 foot boat and have to trailer it and launch every time we use it. Before we purchased the guidons we would have trouble Centering the boat on the trailer. 15 minute install on the trailer, all the difference in the world. Well spent money!1413108

Excellent product. Installation was simple and now loading the boat onto the trailer is a breeze. Highly recommend this product.982164

Perfect. No problems.

Delivered quickly, Excellent quality, Guide post video helped with measurements. I followed the instructions and boat went on easy and straight. Also makes a happy wife who was nervous to trailer boat!
Wheels and brackets are of good quality. Thank You.1346940

The guide poles are a great addition to my trailer.
They are very well constructed, heavy duty to stand up to the task of centering my Tritoon. Highly recommended.1350449

The quality is top notch. Very strong materials. Mounting was a breeze. I did not have a chancee to actually use it at the lake due winter here in PA.1468552

Box had minor shipping damage. No separation of contents and galvanized steel brackets jumped around in box. All parts accounted for.1381237
