C.E. Smith 27620
A shorter guide that helps show the trailer's position when the ramp water covers the frame.
C.E. Smith Boat Trailer Post Guide-Ons: 40 vs 60 Inch
When the trailer is below the surface at a boat ramp, upright guide-on posts provide a visible reference for reversing and loading. C.E. Smith's 40-inch and 60-inch sets use different support lengths. Compare height, adjustment and frame dimensions before choosing a replacement.
Compare PVC post guide-on kits
All three models are sold as pairs with mounting hardware and fit standard trailer frames up to 3 inches wide by 4-1/4 inches high. The PVC tubes have a 2-3/8-inch actual outside diameter.
| MPN | Assembled height | Post colour | Adjustment per side | PVC sleeve | Steel upright |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27620 | 40 in | White PVC | 13 in per side | 31-1/2-in white PVC sleeve | 18-in vertical steel upright |
| 27626 | 40 in | Black PVC | 13 in per side | 31-1/2-in black PVC sleeve | 18-in vertical steel upright |
| 27640 | 60 in | White PVC | 19 in per side | 47-1/2-in white PVC sleeve | 39-in vertical steel upright |
Post height means inches. The 40-inch and 60-inch model names describe height above the trailer frame, not a length in feet. These are unlighted post guide-on kits; trailer lights remain a separate requirement.
Check these measurements before buying
- Waterline and height: 40-inch sets are lower; the 27640 stands 60 inches above the frame.
- Frame crossmember: compare its width and height with the 3-inch by 4-1/4-inch standard mounting limit. A longer U-bolt kit is a separate solution for some larger frames, not part of the standard kit.
- Adjustment range: the 40-inch sets adjust outward to 13 inches per side; the 60-inch version adjusts to 19 inches per side.
- Position: the posts should be near the rear of the trailer, while still allowing the widest part of the boat to pass through them.
- Replacement parts: 27620 uses white sleeve 11339; 27626 uses black sleeve 11329; 27640 uses white sleeve 11340. Uprights differ between the 40-inch and 60-inch versions.
