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 16271 Bearing Protector provides reliable protection for trailer wheel bearings, helping to extend bearing life and reduce maintenance. This pair of stainless steel bearing protectors maintains positive grease pressure inside the hub while keeping water, dirt, and contaminants out. The spring-loaded design ensures constant pressure on the bearing grease, which is essential for preventing premature bearing failure.

Key Features:

  • Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in freshwater and saltwater environments
  • Fits most standard 1.985-inch (1.98") dust caps and hub assemblies
  • Spring-loaded piston maintains constant grease pressure
  • Clear protective cover allows visual inspection of grease level
  • Reduces wear and tear on wheel hub bearings
  • Easy to install on boat trailers, utility trailers, and RV trailers
  • Sold as a pair for one axle

Bearing protectors are an essential upgrade for any trailer that is frequently submerged during boat launching or exposed to harsh marine conditions. The 1.985" size is one of the most common trailer bearing protector sizes. Regular inspection through the clear cover and occasional grease replenishment will help ensure your bearings stay properly lubricated and protected.
