CE Smith 60" Post Style Trailer Guide-Ons with I-Beam Mounting Kit, Pair

The CE Smith 60" Post Style Trailer Guide-Ons with I-Beam Mounting Kit help you see the position of your trailer once it is underwater, making it easier to center your boat while loading and to back the trailer to the correct depth at the ramp. This set is designed specifically for I-beam trailers and I-beam boat lifts and uses an innovative two-piece mounting clamp that installs above or below the I-beam, fitting onto virtually any I-beam width and any frame height.

Each guide-on upright is built from 1-1/2" square, 16 gauge pre-galvanized steel topped with a 2-3/8" diameter white PVC post that stands 60" tall for improved visibility. The brackets adjust out to 19" on each side to match your trailer's width. Because the steel is stamped from sheet steel that has already been galvanized, the galvanized coating is thin, at 0.45 oz. On each side. The kit is sold in pairs and includes all mounting hardware along with installation instructions, so both guide-ons and their I-beam clamps are ready to install.
