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.

Lighted guide-on posts make it easy to load your boat onto your trailer and safer to transport it at night. They attach to the rear of your trailer and extend out of the water, providing visual targets to center the boat between during loading.Reasonably sturdy. I have bent them a little at times when recovering the boat but I have been able to bend them back. They do help a lot to align the hull when recovering. I recommend these for boats in the same class as the one illustrated above. Mine is a 16' Tracker V-hull. I have installed the running lights on the top and they work great! Also, they help a lot when backing down the ramp because even though I can't see the boat very well, I can see the white uprights. Additionally, I have marked the uprights for the correct depth to stop the trailer when launching.
Awesome and quick service. Very easy to install. I have a Rangertrail trailer. It took a little thinking because the trailer has running boards in front and behind the fender wells. No open c-channel. Marked 2 holes on top with bracket in place across c-channel underneath. Drilled 2 holes on each side. After that very easy. Followed video on YouTube. Thanks for a great product and great service. #CE27760

Still works great. Thanks
Well-designed, but not well packaged. Need packing around the PVC tubes to prevent gouges from the metal parts as they rattle in the box. Could use a little longer wiring for the lights to tie in with the trailer lights.
Service:
I ordered on a Sunday night. Received three emails that very evening. One from Customer Service, then George and finally one from Joseph confirming shipment. On Thursday the day of delivery, I received two emails informing me the item was due to be delivered that day and that it had been delivered to my door. Last, I received an email from Debie on Friday confirming receipt. WOW talk about customer service. You people are first class! I’ve been in customer service for the past 20 years and it doesn’t get much better than that.
Product:
Sturdy well-built product that provides a great look to my new 21ft Sea Hunt and Venture trailer. Can't wait to test it out when the weather warms up.
Tip:
Instead of running the light wires between the tubing and PVC guides you can start at the short end of the galvanized tubing with a finish nail and thin string. Drop the nail through until it comes out the top (long part) of the galvanized tube. Attach the string to the ground eyelet and second wire with masking tape and pull the wiring through while sliding the PVC guides over the tube as you pull. Gave it a great finished look (will only work if you position the U-bolts far back on the trailer as close as possible to the trailer lights).
Extremely pleased with the service and product - I will be back for my other trailer needs!
Thanks etrailer.com
I had purchased the Fulton boat guides earlier from another firm but had to return them because the U-bolts wouldn't work on my boat trailer (Not enough clearance between the u-bolt end and the bottom of my boat and I couldn't find replacements. I have a 16' Smokercraft Osprey with a bunk type EZ-Load Trailer. I opted to buy the CE Smith 60" guide posts with lights from etrailer.com. It turned out to be a very good decision. Easy install, they fit and work great and they arrived sooner than promised. Thanks etrailer.com!
Amazing customer service
Easy to install. My trailer does not have anywhere at the end to mount them so they are mounted in front of the axle. It does help with being able to see the trailer for backing. I have a rather tall F 350 with a toolbox and could not see the trailer out the back window at all.
Great product, easy to install, and works well. I had to trim about 6 inches off the tubes, but that was easily done.
Great product! Super easy installation and bright LEDs.

After a year everything is still in working order expect for ground connection. Corroded and lost connection. Just needed to replace and worked just fine. White is still bright and no signs of fading. I dont keep up with it at all so its worst possible conditions and still trucking along. Would definitely recommend!
I've used these in the past. So installation was quick and painless. Although I'm still working on how to connect the lights, due to the trailer wiring being internal to the frame, and difficult to access
Completely Happy with Etrailers excellent service and great products. I had a minor issue that was quickly resolved and your Reps went above and beyond. Thank you for everything. I highly recommend etrailer for all of your towing needs.
CE smith guides with LED lights on top look great and are very helpful at night.
Item was delivered way before the delivery date. Thank you very much. I won’t be putting it on until April but looks awesome,exactly what I was looking for.
I can finally see to back the trailer down the ramp. Guides the boat onto the trailer rollers. Fairly easy to install.
Product was a game changer for me. Loading pontoon boat is a breeze now.
I love this product, it was easy to install and it comes so useful in windy days and places without a dock. Lights look awesome as well.
Only issue is they don’t come with waterproof connectors.
Easy to install and really helps loading the boat at night and day. Works as advertised. The lighted bumpers could be improved. The red portion should be hooked to the brake lights and blinkers.
> I was expecting there to be at least some kind of trouble but everything went together like clockwork. Even when we had to look for a missing screw that fell in the grass, we still found it and proceeded according. thank you

The product is still working and doing fine
Great item and easy to install at a good price. I might add fantastic customer service.
Absolutely terrible. The item is loosely packed and the PVC is gouged, scratched and marked up. For the price, I do not recommend this product. Zero regard for packaging and zero interest in providing customers with a damage free product.

Customer Service will reach out to you.
Product is of good quality. IMO, running the wires outside the galvanized arms results in unprofessional look. It's a bit tricky, but running the wires inside the arms and drilling a small exit hole in the short section is much neater. The wires on my Karavan trailer were easily accessible under the at the cross bar (covered by a rubber cap); that's where I tapped into the brown wire. To protect the trailer finish from the U-bolts, I wrapped a piece of indoor-outdoor carpet around the frame and bolted the guides over the carpet. I'll try to get a photo of my install.

Still great one yr later. I used rubber gromets where wires come through brackets
Love these guide-ons with lights. Makes loading at ramp much easier. e-Trailer beat the competitors in price as well. Would definitely buy again if I ever got another boat as these are a must have now in my book.
Too flimsy for the pontoon boat. Can't barely touch it or they bend. I don't have any photos of the guides after it was bent. The very first time I put the boat on the trailer with the guides installed I approached very slow, as always, assuming the guides would assist a bit more than they did in squaring the boat for getting it on the trailer. I removed the bent one and straightened it. They do help guide the boat once the boat is squared up, but they are not ridged enough to help to square up the boat to drive it onto the trailer.

I reached out to the manufacturer who advised that part # CE27670 would be a better option as it is made for pontoon boats and it has pre-galvanized steel tubes are covered with 2 inch PVC piping for strength and durability.
The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers - 60" Tall I ordered and received is as described and what I was expecting. Arrived when promised, good packaging, good installation instructions and all parts were in good condition.

Still happy with Post Guide w Lights. Just what I needed and looks good. Will buy again if I were to get another plain trailer.
Works exceptionally well loading my pontoon boat.
