C.E. Smith 40" Post Guide-On With Unlighted Posts

The C.E. Smith 40" Post Guide-On With Unlighted Posts is a boat trailer accessory designed to guide and center your vessel during launch and retrieval operations. Built for recreational boaters, fishing enthusiasts, and anyone who regularly launches their boat, this guide-on system reduces the physical strain of aligning your hull with the trailer tongue while entering the water.

The unlighted design keeps costs down while delivering the same directional control that makes loading and unloading safer, faster, and more consistent, even in challenging light conditions or when working single-handedly at the ramp. The 40-inch length provides ample reach to guide boats of moderate beam width without excessive overhang or drag in transit. Constructed from durable materials engineered to withstand saltwater and freshwater exposure, the C.E. Smith design features rigid unlighted posts that bolt securely to your trailer frame, maintaining alignment and stability through repeated launch cycles.

This guide-on works best on trailers carrying boats between 17 and 25 feet, where post length and spread create optimal guidance. The unlighted configuration eliminates battery maintenance and wiring complexity, making this an ideal retrofit or replacement option for trailers where lighting infrastructure is already in place or unnecessary. Weighing approximately 19 lbs, the assembly is substantial enough to guide effectively while remaining manageable for installation and adjustment on most standard boat trailers.
