The Tie Down Engineering Saltwater Series Guide-On Post Kit, part number 86119, is a pair of 60 inch PVC boat trailer guide posts engineered for corrosion resistance in marine environments. Each post is a reinforced PVC tube capped with a bright orange bullet cap for high visibility at the ramp, helping you center and align your boat onto the trailer even in windy conditions or low light. The support structure is available in aluminum or hot-dip galvanized steel, giving the kit long-term durability against saltwater exposure. The kit includes adjustable upper and lower mounting plates that fit trailer frames 2 to 3 inches wide, along with a full hardware set so the posts can be set up without sourcing extra parts.
This is the standard 60 inch length in the Saltwater Series lineup; the same family also offers a 48 inch length and LED-light-equipped versions for use in low-light loading and launching. Part 86119 is the plain (non-LED) 60 inch kit.
