CE Smith Guide-On Post with LED Light 27740, 40 Inch Adjustable Trailer Post, Pre-Galvanized Steel, Sold in Pairs

The CE Smith Guide-On Post with LED Light, part number 27740, is a 40 inch guide-on post built for boat trailers, designed to help center and align a boat during loading and retrieval while adding visibility at the same time. Each post is fitted with waterproof and shockproof LED lights, with the amber lens facing forward and the red lens facing rearward, so the trailer is easier to see and track from multiple angles during towing and launching. The post adjusts out to 13 inches on each side, allowing it to be set to match the width of the trailer frame, and it is built to accommodate frames up to 3 inches wide by 4-1/4 inches high as well as 1-1/2 inch square tubing. Construction is 16 gauge pre-galvanized steel, which resists corrosion in wet and salt-exposed marine environments and holds up to repeated loading impacts over time. Guide-on posts are sold as a pair and include the mounting hardware needed for installation, so no separate hardware purchase is required. This CE Smith guide-on post is intended for boaters who want a durable, adjustable guide system with built-in lighting for safer, more confident trailer loading in low-light conditions.
