Everything in the box was unprotected, no wraps, no tie downs or styrofoam to prevent or protect the contents from handling and shipping damage. The order was received 7-3-23. The order number is

I reported and provided photos of damage to the two gloss black PVC pipes. I recieved one replacement. Will not do business with this company again. I will still have to buy another piece in order to correct the shipping damage.
Its pretty sturdy and very easy to install. I wanted to improvise a little more so i drilled holes and bolt the metal frame and pvc pipe together because in my area there people that steal it at the lake. I even glue the cap on now bc they stole one off before.
This was my first experience with buying from trailer and was not disappointed. I purchased a set of 40” Heavy Duty Black Post-Style Guide-Ons for my Tracker Pro-170 bass boat and item was received exactly as described on the web site and shown in the videos. The posts were incredibly easy to install (thanks to the instructions included and the web site video). Outstanding customer service and product support! The post guide-one are excellent and perform superbly in assisting trailering of my boat.

Working well...I did have to secure the bottom of the guides to the trailer because the styrofoam padding tended to make them float up and off the metal posts as the boat was backed into deeper water.
Arrived on time, installation was easy and looks great
Everything that was needed to install was included. Several mounting options with clear and easy instructions.
Worked better than expected Thanks
Great product. I have a 16’ light bass boat. In high winds the boat would drift over the top of a fender if the trailer was in water too deep. I bolted 4 of these on my boat. 2 on the back rails and two in the forward middle of the trailer. Now the wind is no problem. When the boat starts to blow off coarse, the rails keep it perfectly centered.
These will help a lot when backing my trailer and dinghy. My trailer was built from a CE Smith kit and the boat is an inflatable dinghy. They sit very low and I can’t see them when backing down a ramp. Product was easy to install and is sturdy. I expect to get many years of service from it.
Very easy install!! Looks and performs great!
The guide-ons arrived very quickly and without damage. Love buying from etrailer for fast shipping, selection, and how to videos for self installation.

Guide-ons were easy to install and have been very helpful in loading and launching my boat. Definitely recommend them to anyone with a boat trailer.
These guide ons are great. After putting them off for years I got fed up trying to fight the wind and current while putting my boat on the trailer by myself. These quickly solved that problem. Money well invested. Easy to mount on my trailer and stays put. I'll never again have a boat trailer without them.

Im considering buying a second set of these guide ons. You just cant go wrong with these. Loading my boat onto the trailer in any wind or current is easy and it doesnt seem to matter how deep the trailer sits in the water at the ramp. Guides the boat perfectly on the bunks and stays there.
My trailer and boat disappeared behind my truck while towing it. These guide-ons will not only assist me in loading from the water, but combined with the light mounting brackets, I now have a visual in my rear mirrors while I'm driving. Installation was a breeze! I invested in an electrician's snake, that aided tremendously in passing the wires down the PVC posts and staying out of the angled tubes.
Easy to install, now I can load my boat on trailer without worrying about the wind or water currents moving or blowing the boat sideways and bust my trailer lights ever again,thank you.
Easy to install and made a huge difference in loading my boat at the ramp
as advertised
Pics of new guide poles I purchased. Awesome product very easy to install and look great. Only problem you can see on my tracker trailer these will not work if the wooden step was still in place could not mount..
The complete process was seamless.
Great job.
It's a good product, it's made loading my bass boat so much easier, the only problem I had was someone taking my reflective PVC cap. Other than that they're great.
Fast delivery, was to be here Friday, got here Wednesday at 1pm. Just installed ,great looking now I can see the trailer when backing, thanks
We recieved the product and within 1 hr. It was on the hardest part was tightening the bolts drop the u bolts on in a x pattern match the bolts up with the plate put channel in and tighten
Easy install, should work well.
The boat trailer guides were exactly what I required , and were well made.there was one problem however one of the PVC pipe caps was cracked and could not be used other wise no problem
More sturdy than I was expecting. Simple install. Etrailer was the only place I could find this item in black pipe. I customized my install to make it align better with the angle of the boat.
Arrived quickly and was packaged well no loose parts. I was able to install myself easily and works as intended. I can now see my trailer when the boat is not on.
The Post helped a great deal when driving the boat on the trailer. Excellent product for the value.

They fit trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall.good quality, no sharp edges easy to install , I couldn't wait to get home to put them on ,they look good , I just ordered some lights to put on them ,So I am waiting to get them before I put the caps on top of the tubing
Always easy to find what you're looking for and order on etrailer.com. The best communication ever with follow up emails notifying you the item(s) has shipped and confirming you received. Thanks for this approach and being the service oriented company you are.
Product looks great can’t wait to receive the extra log U-bolts to install them.
Only problem is it would have been nice to have an option to order a complete kit that fits a 5” frame. Kinda lame having to pay over thirty$ on 4 u-bolts (that don’t come with nuts and washers) seemed a little ridiculous.
Received it this morning and already installed it it was about a 20 minute job

Was not able to guide a 18’ I/O boat, was not strong enough.
These rollers are awesome! The perfect solution to my problem. I have a 16' Gheenoe and there was an issue loading my boat. As I am a paralyzed vet trying to load the boat by myself from a wheelchair on the ramp. There was too much room from the rear guides to the front of the trailer in which the boat could drift left or right before I got it positioned.
These rollers help guide her on and keep it going straight. I can now load/unload like a pro. Now if only etrailer could help me catch fish.....
These guides are heavy duty and really nice! The U Bolts are also heavy duty and hold the guides rock solid on my Tee Nee Trailers 1 1/2"x 3 1/2" frame! I really wanted roller guides taller than 15", but found they really measure 21" from the botttom of the guide to the top of the roller! Mounted mine on top of the frame for an extra 1 1/2" of height giving me 21". Very happy and so glad I found your website! Thank you etrailer.com! I will be back!
Haven't installed yet but looks good.
Have mounted the rollers on the trailer of our 14’ aluminum runabout’s trailer and am looking forward to a dramatically improved launch and recover opportunity when we next use the boat(wind or no wind). Should have installed these years ago.
Hardware is zinc plated. Salt water will rust it up in no time
I need to fit this product to my 1960 vintage Holsclaw trailer. I had ordered the longer guide units but found they wouldn't work because of the style of the trailer and having to center the keel of the boat to the main beam roller at the back. Since they extend above the gunnel of the boat and the gunnel being wider at the front of the boat then at the transom, proper alignment to the center beam roller was impossible. I needed a guide that positioned on the spray rail rather than the gunnel. I think this roller will work perfectly once I locate the boat back a few inches on the trailer. Thanks for all your help. I think I will be able to load my boat alone.
Good product. Makes it easier to get boat aligned straight on trailer. Very good instructions on installation and the video helps a lot!

The roller guide-ons have worked well for my boat. They make it easier to keep the boat straight on the trailer, which still can be a challenge especially on windy days.
I have used this before and they work great so I got them for my new boat. Working with etrailer.com has also been a great experience - good price and quick shipping.
Love them. Makes loading a boat by myself very easy. I have confidence that loading at the ramp in any weather will be a snap.
Purchased one and it worked but due to a limited 4” roller width needed a second roller to improve alignment for my aluminum boat on windy days. Have mounted all rollers but have not tested yet.
Fast shipping.
Perfect fit to replace existing roller

Still on the job and working nicely
Worked great. Recommend
On the trailer and ready to go, Thanks for the speedy delivery
just installed but havent tested yet. pretty stout rollers and should help fight back against the tides here in florida. cant wait for maiden voyage!!!
These roller guides were very easy to work with and easy to install. I have already had a friend that wants to get a pair of them and mine were not even installed yet.
Got them put on my trailer, they look good and stick up about 8" higher than my side bunk boards which will make loading in waves/wind MUCH easier. I mounted mine on top the trailer rails.
We installed them the day we received them not sure what to expect, but we were excited. We took out the boat the following weekend, when it was time to load up our boat we got ready. My wife, with minimal experience, was in charge of the task. She lined it up and voila, easy with no problem at all. We definitely recommend these roller guide-ons.

After a year of having our guides they have worked great. It makes loading up our boat very easy, every time. We have our daughters loading up the boat now and they are doing it with out a problem.
Purchased boat trailer roller guides for our aluminum fishing boat/trailer. Product was delivered in less than anticipated time. Product was delivered as advertised. While I have not yet had time to install the product, all of the necessary hardware was included and simple instructions appear to make installation easy and fast. I expect that the roller system will simplify the loading of our boat (centering on boat keel rollers) under all conditions and permit one person operation.

The installation was quite easy and took less than one hour. The roller system has greatly improved the loading of our Alumacraft fishing boat. Under all conditions the rollers center the boat on the trailer and permit loading in one attempt aligning the keel of the watercraft exactly where it belongs. We no longer have to spend time at the launch site loading and reloading the boat when wind and wave conditions require two men and three oxen to keep the stern properly lined up. Great product!
