Smith 27635 Assembly/Mounting Instructions

For maximum benefit when loading your boat, mount the posts as far back on the trailer frame
as possible and as close to the boat as possible. The widest place on each boat is different.
Most Jon boats are widest at the transom while many V-hulls are widest nearer the middle.
Post guide-ons are most effective when mounted as close to the boat as possible while
still allowing the widest point of the boat to pass between the posts.
1- Determine which length bolts to use.
- Two long and two short bolts are provided.
- Lay one upright across your I-beam.
- Straddle a pair of I-beam brackets over the upright as shown.
- Hook both brackets fully under the I-beam flange.
- Pinch the top of the two brackets together.
- Select the bolt length that spans your I-beam and passes through
both brackets far enough to install the nut / washers and tighten.
2- Choose a mounting location.
- Brackets may be mounted above or below the I-beam.
- Its best to mount as far back on the trailer as possible.
- For more rigidity, mount as close as possible
to a frame cross member.
3- Loosely assemble uprights and brackets
to your trailer frame.
4- Slide PVC posts down
over the uprights.
- Engage the no-rotate notch
with the lance in the upright.
5- Adjust the uprights to fit your boat.
- Less than 1" of offset from
the boat is typical.
6- Tighten the bolts.
- Post spacing will change
during tightening.
- Loosen, re-adjust and re-tighten
as needed.
7- Push caps down firmly
onto your guide-on posts.
