CE Smith Roller Style Boat Trailer Guide-Ons, 9 Inch Rollers, Pre-Galvanized Steel, Sold in Pairs (27610)

The CE Smith 27610 Roller Style Trailer Guide-Ons make boat loading easier by helping to center your boat onto the trailer as it comes up out of the water. Each guide-on upright is built from 1-1/2 inch pre-galvanized steel and leans outward at a 15 degree angle to cradle the hull, while a smooth-rolling 9 inch roller with 2 inch roller caps at the top and bottom lets the boat glide into position instead of scraping against a fixed post. This roller style is especially useful on shallow ramps where the trailer cannot be backed far into the water, or when you are retrieving your boat alone and need the guides to do the centering work for you.

The uprights arrive fully assembled and ready to install. Mounting brackets accept up to 13 inches of adjustment out from each side of the trailer frame, and the included mounting hardware fits frames up to 3 inches wide by 4-1/4 inches high. Installation is a straightforward u-bolt mount: loosely attach the u-shaped brackets to the frame, insert the upright posts to the desired width, level them, tighten the u-bolts, and snap a black plastic cap onto the top of each post. The kit is sold as a pair, giving you both sides of the trailer in one purchase. For trailers with larger frames, CE Smith offers a separate Large Frame U-Bolt Kit (part number 11416) to accommodate wider rail widths.
