C.e. Smith

<h3>About C.E. Smith</h3><p>For boaters who spend as much time thinking about getting their vessel to the water as they do on it, <strong>C.E. Smith</strong> is a name that inspires confidence. Originally established as a precision metal stampings and fabrications manufacturer serving a broad range of industrial applications, C.E. Smith evolved into one of the most recognized brands in the marine industry, channeling that manufacturing expertise into high-quality boating and trailering products.</p><p>Operating under the <strong>SMITH</strong> trademark, the company has grown to occupy both a large production facility and a dedicated logistics and distribution center, giving it the capacity to serve marine distributors, retailers, and individual boaters alike. What sets C.E. Smith apart is its dual focus: producing ready-to-ship catalog parts while also crafting custom components built to trailer manufacturers&apos; exact specifications — a level of flexibility rarely found in this segment.</p><h3>Boat Trailer Parts You Can Count On</h3><p>The backbone of C.E. Smith&apos;s catalog is its extensive line of <a href="/7280-ce-smith-trailer-parts-accessories-201094">Trailer Parts &amp; Accessories</a>. Using the SMITH trademark, the company manufactures replacement components for small to mid-size boat trailers, including trailer fenders, boat guide-ons, galvanized bracketry, tire carriers, replacement wheel bearings, rubber rollers, roller shafts, and u-bolts. Whether you&apos;re doing a quick repair before a weekend trip or a full trailer refresh, C.E. Smith offers a comprehensive parts selection to get the job done right.</p><p>Their guide-on systems are particularly well regarded among recreational boaters. Available in post-style, lighted post-style, and roller configurations, these guides simplify the process of loading a boat onto a trailer — even in challenging conditions like strong currents, high winds, or low-light environments. Each system is designed for DIY installation and ships complete with mounting hardware.</p><h3>Fishing &amp; Boating Accessories</h3><p>Beyond the trailer, C.E. Smith also produces a line of stainless steel and aluminum boating and fishing accessories. Rod holders — available in flush-mount, clamp-on, and adjustable mid-mount configurations — are a staple of the lineup, crafted to withstand the corrosive marine environment season after season. The company also offers T-top accessories, including storage bags, navigation lights, and antenna brackets, rounding out a catalog designed to outfit a boat from bow to stern.</p><h3>A Trusted Marine Industry Name</h3><p>C.E. Smith works with offices in Taiwan and China to source unique items and provide direct import and private label packaging for both OEM and aftermarket customers. This global sourcing strategy, combined with rigorous quality standards, allows the brand to continuously introduce new products while maintaining the dependable performance that has made it a go-to resource for boaters and trailer builders throughout North America.</p>

Key Features:

  • 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
  • 0 degree angle for vertical rod positioning
  • 1-7/8 inch inner diameter accommodates most rod butts
  • Fits 2-1/2 inch hole diameter for flush deck installation
  • White liner color protects rods from scratches
  • 10-1/2 inch tube length provides secure rod support
  • Cap dimensions: 5-1/8 inches long x 4-1/4 inches wide

I RECEIVED GREAT SERVICE WITH AUTOPLICITY. THERE WAS AN ITEM ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT SAID OUT OF STOCK SO I CALLED AND ASKED WHEN THEY WOULD BE GETTING MORE AND THEY GUY WAS VERY POLITE AND HELPFULL. NOT TOO MENTION THE PRICE WAS WAY BELOW THEIR COMPETITORS. I WOULD RECOMMENT AUTOPLICITY TO ANYONE AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

SO HAPPY! I have to admit, I was hesitant because I had never heard of autoplicity and there wasn't item a picture up for the Thule T2 rack I bought, but wow am I happy. Autopliicity had it for $100 less than other sites and the shipper was Amazon prime fast!!! Definitely a happy customer!!!!

the amazon payment did not work; hope I don't get double billed since I went with paypal afterwards. Meanwhile, I could not verify that my amazon order is cancelled/never placed.
