C.E. Smith 27600
Full-length bunk guide with pivoting boards that can follow the side of the hull.
Identify C.E. Smith 27600 & 27660 Boat Trailer Bunk Guides
To identify a C.E. Smith carpeted bunk guide, measure the board length and count its upright supports. The short 27660 uses a two-foot board on each side; the 27600 uses five-foot boards. Both are supplied as paired guide-on kits, but their supports and mounting arrangements differ.
Recognize each bunk guide by length
Both kits include a pair of carpeted bunk guides with mounting hardware for trailer frames up to 3 inches wide and 4-1/4 inches high.
| MPN | Carpeted board length | Support arrangement | Board material | Height and lateral adjustment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27600 | 60 in (5 ft) | Two mounting uprights per board | Marine carpet over 2 × 4 wood | 21-in guide height; up to 13-in outward adjustment per side |
| 27660 | 24 in (2 ft) | One mounting upright per board | Marine carpet over 2 × 4 wood | 21-in guide height; up to 13-in outward adjustment per side |
Different from support bunks: these are side guide-on kits for keeping the boat aligned during loading, not replacements for the main hull-support bunks that carry the boat's weight on the trailer. Do not assume the two kits share all hardware.
How to match the installed hardware
- Board length: measure the original carpeted board. The 27660 has 24-inch boards; 27600 uses 60-inch boards.
- Supports: the short design has one upright under each board; the longer design uses two supports per board.
- Frame clearance: both are designed around standard frames no more than 3 inches wide and 4-1/4 inches high with supplied hardware.
- Hull shape: the carpeted boards can tilt. Position them to guide the boat without creating hard contact at a hull fitting or rail.
- Mounting orientation: uprights can be fitted above or below the trailer frame. Confirm nearby lights, fenders and tie-down access before installation.
