Common Concerns Answered
Do I need to buy extra hardware for larger trailer frames?
For trailer frames exceeding the standard 3-1/4" width by 4" height, you will need to purchase C.E. Smith P/N 11416 mounting U-bolts separately to ensure a secure installation.
Are these guide-ons tall enough for very high boats?
The 40-inch height provides substantial guidance. While users have occasionally expressed a desire for slightly longer posts for exceptionally tall vessels, this dimension is effective for a wide range of boat types.
How difficult is installation?
Installation is rated at a 2/5 difficulty level, requiring basic tools like wrenches and potentially a drill. The adjustability of the mounting position and extension simplifies the alignment process.
