The tubes on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-On part # CE27626 are notched which then allows them to be held in placing by lining these notches up with the tab on the post. This will then keep the tubes attached if you were to launch your trailer too far under water. There is also the option of running a single self tapping screw though the tube and into the post if you do have issues but I do not feel you will have any problem with the above.
