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 53700 is a heavy-duty aluminum clamp-on rod holder designed for horizontal mounting on marine boat rails and towers. Constructed from marine-grade aluminum with 100% anodization, this rod holder provides excellent corrosion resistance and a high-polished appearance that won't risk galvanic corrosion with aluminum boats.

Key Features:

  • Marine-grade anodized aluminum construction for durability and style
  • Super strong 3/8" thick blade for maximum strength
  • Rugged welded 1-3/8" tall gimbal bar supports fighting belts
  • 1-5/8" inside diameter with flared opening for easy rod insertion
  • Tapered liner and rod security hole protect valuable fishing rods
  • 1.05" OD clamp fits standard marine rails and towers
  • Precision machined for slip-resistant fit on aluminum rails
  • Includes 316 stainless steel mounting screws
  • No welding required - easy clamp-on installation prevents heat damage to internal cables

This horizontal rod holder is ideal for saltwater and freshwater fishing applications, providing a secure and accessible storage solution for your fishing rods while underway or at anchor. The clamp-on design allows you to add multiple rod holders without permanently modifying your boat.

so far I like your site and the product looks and works well. Thank You

Choosing and paying for my products was simple and pain-free.

insufficient info presented. Before confirming payment needed to make sure part fit proper side. Info not provided had to call in waited ten minutes. Also when choosing paypal payment it wouldn't transfer. had to log off twice before final completion.

Very fast shipping and product was secure in package to avoid damage....will be ordering from autoplicity again for sure. Also the price could not be beat.

Ordering was simple

easy site to maneuver, fast checkout!

Autoplicity has a great selection of parts, great companies and great prices. Shipping was very fast and payment very easy. Will be shopping here in the future.

Totally impressed with the headlights. Took 30 minutes to install with a perfect fit. Amazed that they even came with light bulbs pre-installed. Keep up the good work. Now I have to check for 5&quot; round halo lights for my wife's 1987 Jaguar.
