Installing CE Smith Guide-Ons on a Ranger RT188P Boat Trailer With Rear Step

Question:

Have been trying to figure a way to install the upright guide on on my Ranger Trail trailer and had given up making it work until I saw the pictures posted by Darrell - Please let me know what model he used on that boat and if you need any special fittings to make it work on the 2022 Ranger Trail - Thank you

I do see that it does appear difficult to install these CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers # CE27760 on your 2022 Ranger RT118P Trailer. In looking at the image of them installed on the trailer in our review you can see that they did use the included hardware by drilling holes in the steel that would allow the bolts to pass through. He used the CE Smith Guide-On Mounting U-Bracket # CES94FR to identify the location where the bolts would need to pass through.
