Can someone confirm the size of the tubes of the trailer? I'm looking into purchasing trailer guide posts (https://www.amazon.ca/Smith-Trailer...515262812&sr=8-3&keywords=trailer+guide+posts). I don't have access to my boat since it's in storage for the winter (-22C = -8F, brrrr before wind factored in). I suspect it's a standard size tube of 3" wide by 4.25" tall as the product indicates it fits.

Also, anybody have a better product recommendation (and available in Canada)? I've been researching them, posts vs bunk guides, etc. Sounds like posts are worthwhile for deeper ramps unlike bunk guides but don't hold as well as bunk guides. So I think I'm going with posts. These seem to have good reviews and have lighting which is nice.

Merci!
 
I guess nobody has access to their boats! lol

So I'm pretty sure I want guide posts. But I would still like someone to confirm the tube dimensions of the frame. Or at least confirm if these posts fit the frame... https://www.amazon.ca/Smith-Trailer...515858765&sr=8-2&keywords=ce+smith+guide+post

I'm also wondering what size of tire I have for my trailer? I'd like to get a spare.

And does the wheel use a standard fitting for the grease?

So many questions... trying to organize all of this before I get my boat out of storage.
 
I have a Scarab 2015 165 HO on a Scarab gator hide trailer and the frame is 2" wide X 3" tall rectangular tube. Tire size is 175/80R13 and axle grease fitting is a standard fitting behind the rubber plug. Hope this helps.
 
You are the man Alan! Thank you! This confirms what I was hoping. I'll be able to get my stuff this winter and be ready with it when I get the boat. Merci!
