  • How to Determine Fit of 12" CE Smith Keel Roller for Boat Trailers
  • Most keel rollers for boat trailers like the CE Smith Keel Roller for Boat Trailers part # CE29519 or CE Smith Keel Roller for Boat Trailers - Self Centering part # CE29505 don't have listed weight capacities as they aren't supporting the full weight of the boat. I recommend simply sticking with the original size and location as intended by the boat trailer manufacturer. In regards to a comparison, the self-centering model helps re-align the boat on the trailer when you aren't completely...

  • How To Setup Bunk Rollers on Boat Trailer
  • Boat Trailer Roller Bunks, like the item you selected, part # DL21741, are not designed to line-up or center the boat, but for the boat to rest and roll on the bunks. Typically, if you are loading a boat the boat is not loading squarely it is because the trailer is too deep in the water. You would want to use part of the trailer as a reference to determine how far to back the trailer into the water. You would want to install the bunks in place of your existing bunks or rollers. If you...

  • Recommended CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons For Boat Trailer

If you have a taller boat like a cabin cruiser or a deep V hull boat I recommend the 60-in guides, part # CE27640.

  • Recommend 3 Inch Wide Non-Marking Bow Roller for Boat Trailer
  • The Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers part # YR300BLK is constructed of a black thermal-plasticized rubber which does have the potential to leave marks on the underside of your boat. For an option that will not leave marks on the underside of your boat, I recommend using the Yates Bow Roller for Boat Trailers part # YR300B or part # YR300Y which are made with a blue thermal-plasticized rubber and yellow thermal-plasticized rubber respectively that are non-marking which means they won't...

  • Recommendation for Electric Winch To Pull 24 Foot 3300-Lb Grady White Boat on to Trailer
  • Because of the length of your boat I would recommend the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch, part # DL25200. This DC-powered winch is designed for boats up to 4,000 lbs and includes a wiring harness for easy installation. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the winch. The Master Lock Electric Trailer Winch, part # 2953AT, you have referenced, has a maximum boat weight capacity of 5,000 lbs , but only a maximum boat length of 18 feet. I would not recommend this...

  • Replacement Aluminum Fender Gusset Step for Trailstar Boat Trailer
  • The closest part we carry is the CE Smith Steel Step for Trailer Fender, part # CE19012. However, since you mentioned your boat is brand new, chances are you want the exact replacement. I recommend reaching out to the trailer manufacturer or whoever you purchased the boat/trailer from to source the direct replacement. Parts like the aluminum fender or gusset step are considered part of the trailer body/frame and are very specific to the particular trailer, which is why we do not carry them.

  • 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.

  • Are Roller Bunks or Keel Rollers Needed on the CE Smith Boat Trailer Part # CE48810
  • The CE Smith Boat Trailer part # CE48810 comes with guide ons which help to center your boat during loading and to hold the boat during transport so I don't really recommend adding anything additional in regards to this aspect because of the size of the boat. However, if you will be launching your boat at night or in the early mornings I recommend using the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights part # CE27740 which will provide visual targets. What I do recommend using is a two...

  • Can Electric Brakes Be Installed On a Boat Trailer with 3,500 Lb Axle
  • Yes, the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly Kit part # 23-468-469 can be used on a boat trailer. In fact, most boat trailers now come from the factory with electric brakes as they are much more cost effective. I assume your trailer does not already have electric brakes so that means you are also going to need the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 845476UC3, the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit part # HS381-9000, and the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway...

  • Adding Roller Guide-Ons to Boat Trailer Carrying Drift Boat
  • We can help you with roller guide-ons for your trailer that carries your drift boat, or dory as they are sometimes known. The linked page will show you all such items we offer. I suggest you take a look at the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers, part # CE27610, and also Fulton part # FBGR200101. The CE Smith rollers would be my preference between the two because they will be gentler on the hull. If you want to add roller bunks to your trailer to make it easier to load the...
