Expert Answers about Chevrolet Boat Trailer Parts


  • Does the Length of the Boat Matter for the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with Pontoon Boat
  • In regards to the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers part # CE27620, the length of the boat would not be an issue. In order to confirm compatibility you'll need to verify the frame rails don't exceed 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall and that the adjustable width of 13" from each end of the trailer will work with your boat. Please note, we also offer the CE Smith Bunk Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE27671 which are specifically for pontoon boats.

  • Can Motor Be Left on Saturn Inflatable Boat if Loaded on CE Smith Boat Trailer part # CE48810
  • I looked up pictures of your Saturn inflatable 12ft. boat and the motor can fold up and out of the way so you should be able to keep it on the boat in terms of ground clearance if loaded on the CE Smith Boat Trailer part # CE48810. Unless Saturn states that the motor has to come off when on a trailer you would be totally fine to leave it on.

  • How To Determine the Correct CE Smith Roller Bunks for a Boat Trailer
  • The CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers part # CE27710 are 5' long so as long as these are close to the same length of the bunk boards you have on your trailer now they will work well for you. The CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers are is offered in a 4' long version, part # CE27700. I cannot confirm fit based on the make or model of the boat/trailer unfortunately, only the length of the existing bunks.

  • Will the Fulton Boat Guide # FGB1500100 Fit a TrailStar Boat Trailer
  • The mounting bracket that comes with the Fulton boat guides # FGB1500100 can be turned to fit the mounting needs of your trailer. While it may take some creative maneuvering I am confident it will work. You also may be able to attach the guides to the galvanized step area by drilling through it and attaching the brackets that way. I have also included a link to all of the boat guide options we carry. There may be a better option based on your trailer design.

  • Will the 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch with 20' Strap Work On a 21' Long Boat
  • The 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch with 20' Strap part # 315-W3200D is an excellent option for a 21 foot long boat. Generally speaking, you'll want the strap to match the length of the boat or close so this is a great option. In regards to weight, the rollers will help significantly with this so there will be no issues even with heavier boats.

  • Will CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons # CE27600 Work for Pontoon Boat Trailer
  • A bunk-style boat trailer guide-on like the 60-inch CE Smith # CE27600 could be used on a pontoon boat trailer. These bunks serve to guide you when trailering the boat. They mount on the outside of the pontoons as both a visual and a loading guide. These guide-ons are NOT intended to support the boat's weight however. We do offer a product made specifically for pontoon boat trailers, part # CE27671 also from CE Smith, that may be a better choice for you.

  • Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk For 16 ft Dauntless Boat Trailer
  • You could use the 5' Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk part # DL21741 and have an extra foot at the back of the trailer. Ideally you would want rollers anywhere the boat rests on bunks plus slight overhang so that the boat will contact them before it contacts the trailer when loading the boat.

  • How Often Should I Inspect Sealed Bearings On A Boat Trailer
  • You may have sealed bearings on the boat trailer like Dexter 35MM Nev-R-Lube part # 31-72-3, Dexter 42MM Nev-R-Lube part # 31-73-3 or Dexter 50MM Nev-R-Lube Bearing part # 31-71-3. The sealed bearings are typically considered maintenance free because they are pre-greased at the factory and they are sealed which makes them resistant to contamination. Even though the bearings are already greased, it is a good idea to pull the hub off once a year to check for damage especially since the...

  • Recommended Replacement Winch To Replace Fulton XLT1401 For 3500 Lb Boat
  • Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with half the capacity as the weight of the boat. Since the winch is only pulling the boat, you don't really need to consider the trailer weight. I recommend to upgrade to the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Heavy Duty 20' Strap part # F142418 which will work really well with the 3500 lb boat even when full of fuel. The XLT is a 2 speed winch with 2,600 lb capacity and an included...

  • Can Boat Trailer Be Easily Used for a Boat or 2 Kayaks
  • It really just depends on what boat trailer you have. A lot of standard boat trailers use bunk boards so you can potentially install a second bunk kit like part # MPG561 and try to configure everything so you're just rotating the bunks to fit with 2 kayaks or your single boat. If you have a Malone trailer though you might be able to mount a set of the Malone FoldAway-J Kayak Roof Rack # MAL98FR on either end of the crossbars. This way you'll use the bunks for your boat with these folded...

  • Straps Needed To Tie Down 2000 Lb Sea Ray Seville Boat on Trailer
  • The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Strap part # IMF14220 is what I recommend for a bow-tie down strap on the 2,000 lb trailer. The strap 2" wide x 43" long and has a safe working load limit of 833 lbs which will be fine as long as you use set of transom and gunwale tie-downs as well. You can use BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps part # IMF08893 for the Transom and the BoatBuckle Pro Series Kwik-Lok Gunwale Tie-Down Strap part # IMF17636 for...

  • Suitability of Optronics LED Trailer Back-Up Lamp # BUL11CBX for a Boat Trailer
  • They certainly can. The Optronics # BUL11CBX is completely sealed and waterproof. They'd be perfect for a boat trailer. You'd also need either a right angle pigtail, part # A49PB or a straight pigtail, part # A45CB. Also keep in mind that although the lamps are waterproof, your trailer wiring might have junction points that aren't. This is why I recommend you unplug the boat trailer before backing into the water.

The mounting brackets can be angled to match the angle of your boat to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed across all the rollers.

  • Replacement Boat Trailer Jack Non-Swiveling For Clearance Of HitchMate Boat Trailer Step
  • The HitchMate Boat Trailer Step part # HE4036 should fit with a swing up jack depending on where you place the step. The retracted height of the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack - Bolt On - Sidewind part # FXP15L is 26" so you may be able to make both fit depending on where you want the step to be located on your trailer frame. If you still prefer a jack that does not swivel, I recommend etrailer Square, Fixed-Mount Marine Jack - Drop Leg part # MJSQ-2500B which has a 29-1/8" Lift...

  • Will the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Work with 18' Boat
  • The max boat length for the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08106 is 17' per Yakima. It would probably work just fine with a slightly longer boat but we cannot recommend this. That said, there is another trailer that will work better for you in the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 which can accommodate a boat length up to 19'. This trailer also gives you the ability to store a lot more since there are two decks. It's only around 25 lbs heavier as well.
