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>

Product Details

The C.E. Smith 53690A Drop-In Swivel instantly converts any in-gunnel rod holder into a versatile swivel rod holder. This precision-engineered adapter provides 360-degree rotation for optimal rod positioning while trolling or fighting fish.

Key Features:

  • Universal fit design works with any rod holder with 1-9/16" or larger inside diameter
  • Investment cast 316L stainless steel construction for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater environments
  • Smooth turning swivel mechanism with adjustable resistance control
  • Drop-in installation requires no drilling or permanent modification
  • Allows rods to follow fish movements and reduces strain on rod and reel

This swivel adapter is ideal for anglers looking to upgrade existing fixed rod holders without replacing the entire mounting system. The adjustable resistance feature lets you customize the swivel tension based on fishing conditions and rod weight.

Awsome

good conditon! next time hopefully sooner

Is the part in stock or on back order

Quick and easy check out. Good prices

My initial review was 1 star because I ordered a Thule rooftop cargo box, but cancelled the order after Autoplicity called me about collecting extra money to ship the item after their website did not charge me enough for shipping. After my initial review Autoplicity offered to ship the item totally free since the issue was a flaw in their website. This was unexpected, above and beyond in my opinion. I have yet to receive the item but commend Autoplicity's customer service

Quick

Excellent service and communication.

Great prices

I liked the website and it's layout. Very easy to find merchandise. When I called i liked the fact that I was put through to a person right away.

Great prices and prompt shipping
