Thanks to Trevor, who understood my Malone Microsport trailer better than I did. Need ubolts to attach boat bunk risers to the frame. When I got the ubolts I checked them on the side rails - and they were too small. I was ready to send them back when I figured I’d check them on the cross members, which go INSIDE the side rails and Voila! Perfect fit. One would think that, having assembled the trailer, I would have remembered that. The risers go on the cross members, not the side rails. Guess that’s why I called to make the order - etailer staff know their stuff! Thanks, Trevor!

Used these as part of a full boat trailer rebuild. They were sized perfectly and of very high quality. After a year of use these are performing excellently.

Good quality product. Unfortunately, I need a shorter u-bolt length to fit the frame on my trailer, so will be returning.
by: Eric05/29/2016
My jetski trailer needed new bunks and hardware, I called these guys to verify what I needed. They hooked my up with good quality parts. I do wish however they would have included the lag screws needed for the bunks.

Ordering was smooth and shipped out from ETRAILER was lightning fast.
U Bolt and Bolster bracket are heavy duty enough. They should screw down the swivel on bolster bracket a lot more because it was pretty annoying moving around while mounting it.
The guide rail bracket holes were a bit too close to the frame, making it difficult to use a ratchet
end wrench placement and removal difficult. Without using ratchet, it will take you several minutes to put a nut on just one.
Quality is good!
by: Joanie06/30/2018
Good quality U-bolts and swivel bracket assemblies. They are not a direct fit for my Caulkins trailer. I will have to devise a tapered shim for the bolsters so that they will run parallel to the outside rails. I had not counted on a custom installation.
by: Tim S.05/07/2020
Completely updated the axle, suspension, and added roller bunks to my waverunner trailer. Have taken the waverunner in for the winter and back out for the summer one time. All components were great and the trailer rides really well!
by: Kevin03/15/2022
The U-bolts need to be threaded further up the bolt. It may work ok for larger sized boat trailers that have thicker rails. I have a 16 foot jon boat that has a trailer with rails that are thinner in depth. So matter which way I placed the bracket, the u-bolt would not tighten all the way down. I had to create a spacer to be able to tighten the bracket with the u-bolt. Threading the bolt further would solve the problem.
by: Lawrence Thurier06/28/2016
All the parts came as ordered,very pleased with everything. Got the bunk boards mounted and my boat seems to sit on them as i expected. I purchased stainless steel lag bolts to attach the bunks to the brackets. Parts arrived UPS all packaged in a large box with lots of packing paper,loose items all wrapped nice so nothing got lost.
by: Cal03/31/2022
Shipping box half open. More tape?? bolt package open not all lock washers included. Nothing major. I’ll get another one at Lowes

by: Gene B.07/29/2017
GREAT Customer Service!! Seth worked with me to get the exact size and type of bolts needed for the job. Prompt delivery and up to date tracking. This is how a business should handle their customers. Bolts are heady duty galvanized. Will easily replace the rusted bolts that hold the bunk board brackets.
by: Pete R04/06/2016
Good quality product. Seems to be well constructed. All parts were included. The best part was not having to hunt down individual components when you can buy a complete set. Packaging was good. This will make installation of bolster brackets for my boat trailer a breeze. I would definitely buy from etrailer in the future.
by: Chip P07/10/2019
The products purchased were solid and of good quality. I'm impressed.
We purchased a used Jon boat and are upgrading the trailer and boat to for our satisfaction. We would not hesitate to purchase other products for etrailer. The videos were very helpful and informative. If I can I will add photos of before and after, soon.
by: John S10/17/2014
all expected parts arrived in excellent condition and as promised.
dimensional diagrams for the CE Smith Bolster & Swivel bracket would be helpful for choosing an accurate size.
Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with my order.

- Parts Needed to Convert a Boat Trailer to Bunk BoardsIt sounds like you are wanting to convert a boat trailer to bunk boards. There is not a kit for this because each trailer/boat varies. To do the conversion you will need the bunk boards, brackets and u-bolts. It is recommended to have bunk boards that are at least 50% of the length of your boat. You can have longer boards if you would like, but you want at minimum 50% of the length. I have included the length of bunk boards that we carry below. You can piece the lengths together as needed...
view full answer... - Keel Roller for 1975 Wellcraft V20 Boat TrailerFor the crossmembers the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10403G would work really well. It's pretty common to use one of these on each crossmember so it would work pretty well. Then for U-bolts you'd want the part # CE15283GA-4.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Convert a Boat Trailer From Rollers to BunksIn order to switch from rollers to bunks, you will need to remove the rollers that you are no longer using. I do not see a reason why you can't continue to use the front rollers. You would just want bunks that stop a little but before the front rollers so they do not interfere with each other. You would need to get the bunk boards, swivel brackets and u-bolts for installing the bunk boards. You will need to measure to determine the correct length of bunk board that fits between the middle...

- Parts Needed to Add Bunk Boards to a Utility TrailerTo add bunks, you will need the bunks, brackets, and u-bolts. Bunks - CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27845 Brackets - CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 U-bolts - CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4 This is typically done on boat trailers, that already have the proper crossbars in place. Since you are converting a utility trailer, you may need to make some modifications to add crossbars, if there are not any already in place.

While there are not "kits" for doing the conversion, we do have the parts that you will need. These are not kitted together because each boat/trailer combination is different, so it is easier to not kit them. It is recommended to have bunk boards that are at least 50% of the length of your boat. You can have longer boards if you would like, but you want at minimum 50% of the length. Since your boat is 21', you will want bunks that are at least 10.5' long. I...

- Parts Needed to go From Roller Bunks to Bunk BoardsBy "roller boat trailer" I believe you are saying you have roller bunks and by "bunk trailer" I think you're saying you want to go from those to bunk boards. If so, you can do that by just getting the correct length bunk boards for your needs and the brackets to attach them. You can just measure the roller bunks you have and get the same length of bunk boards: - 7 Feet: CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers # CE27845 - 6 Feet: CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers...

The carpeted bunks we offer come in varied lengths. If you need 6 ft bunks, I recommend part # CE27840. These come in a set of 2, and is wrapped with marine-grade black carpeting. For 5 ft bunks, you would need part # CE27820, for 4 ft bunks, part # CE27810, and for 3 ft bunks you would need part # CE27800. If you decide you...
view full answer... - Distance Between 1st & 3rd Bolt Holes of Replacement CE Smith Heavy Duty Vertical Bunk BracketThe distance from the center of the top bolt hole to the center of the third bolt hole from the top is 3 inches for the Replacement CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Bracket # CE10162GA. These brackets are 10" tall x 5" wide and to install require 1/2" diameter U-bolts to such as the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well as a link to our selection of 1/2" diameter U-bolts if you also need those.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Convert a Boat Trailer From Bunk Boards to Roller Bunks for a 21' BoatEach pair of Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks # DL21740 have a 2,500 lb. capacity. Your bigger consideration will be the length because with needing multiple pairs of rollers, you will have enough weight capacity. Typically you will want to match the length of your current bunks with the news ones. But a good rule of thumb is to have at least 50% of the length of your boat. I have included enough bunk rollers and parts needed for that below. Bunk Rollers - Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks...

To attach the brackets to the trailer frame you can use U-bolts such as # CE15283GA-2 which are 3-13/16 inches long, 3-1/16 inches wide, and have a 1/2 inch diameter. Or you could use # CE15283GA-4 which is the same thing only it comes with 4 U-bolts instead of 2. These mounting slots, are a length of 2-3/4 of an inch. There is a width of a 1/2 inch spacing in...

- Replacement Bunk Boards and Brackets Needed for 1997 Esco Boat TrailerTypically yo'll use brackets like part # CE10000G-4 with U-Bolts like part # CE15283GA-4 and then a combination of bunk boards like the 3' long # CE27800, but since we don't have specs on what came with your 1997 Esco Boat Trailer you'll need to take some measurements of your trailer frame, your current hardware, and bunk boards to choose the correct replacement parts. Once you look at what is on your trailer you can either filter through the linked selection of boat trailer parts for...
view full answer... - Brackets For Bunk Boards That Raise Them 6 InchesFor bunk board brackets that give you 6 inches to clear the fenders you can use the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 11" # CE10001G-4. These are 11" tall with 3-3/4" mounting slots so you can get the height you need. For U-bolts to secure the brackets use CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter # CE15283GA-4.
view full answer... - Bunk Boards and Brackets That Allow for Angle AdjustmentTo adjust the angle of the bunk boards such as the 6' # CE27840, 5' # CE27820 or 4' # CE27810 you can simply use the Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 which attach with U-Bolt Assembly # CE15283GA-4. The swivel brackets allow the bunk boards to tilt so they can accommodate boat hulls of different sizes.
view full answer... - Is Mounting Hardware Included with CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies, # CE10000G-4The CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies, # CE10000G-4, do not come with any mounting hardware. Because the brackets can be used for different size and type bunks they do not include the hardware because it would not cover all applications. The holes that attach the bunk board to the swivel bracket are 3/8 inches in diameter. To attach the brackets to the trailer frame you can use U-bolts such as # CE15283GA-2 which are 3-13/16 inches long, 3-1/16 inches wide, and have a 1/2...
view full answer... - How Do CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets CE26233-34GA Get Installed?You are correct. You will want to mount the longer 95 degree bracket of the CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets - 85 and 95 Degree Set # CE26233-34GA on the lower section of the angled crossmember on your boat trailer, and the 85 degree bracket on the higher section of the crossmember. In addition you will need 1/2" diameter U-bolts to secure the brackets to the crossmember. If your crossmember is 3" x 3" then I recommend the CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16"...

It looks like your rollers should be bolted on, so you should be able to remove those and then add bunks. You will need CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27820, CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 and CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. I have also linked our selection of bunk boards in case you need a different length. I recommend getting...

view full answer... - Bunk Boards Needed to Carry Kayaks on Boat TrailerYou can actually purchase the carpeted bunk boards and the brackets that hold them, like what is on the CE Boat Trailer # CE48810, separately. This way you can add more to your trailer if you have the room for it. The Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 can be installed on your boat trailer using the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. These U-Bolts are 3-13/16" long, 3-1/16" wide, and have a 1/2" diameter. For bunk boards we have a couple of different length options for you...

The # HP55FR is the portion that would attach directly to the bunk which would attach to the # CE10101G bolster bracket would would attach to the trailer itself. When the bolster and swivel are assembled, they'd look like part # CE10001G. To be honest, I'd recommend simply going with the # CE10001G as the hardware to assemble them is included that way. The angle of the swivel bracket is adjustable. The galvanized u-bolts for attaching the bolster brackets...
view full answer... - Can I Use Roller Bunks and Carpeted Bunk Boards Together on Boat TrailerI'll start off by saying that I've seen quite a few boat trailers that use a combination of rollers like the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers - 6 Rollers Each - 5' Long - 1,500 lbs - 1 Pair # CE27710 and a carpeted bunk like the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 7' Long - 1 Pair # CE27845. The rollers definitely help if you're on a lot of shallow or steep boat ramps and combining the two gives you the best of both worlds, with the rollers on the bottom and boards...
view full answer... - Can Top of CE Smith Swivel Bracket be Tightened to Keep Them at AngleThe top of the swivel bracket is not something that can be tightened to completely stop the swivel for the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10002G-4. So there is always going to be some swivel in these brackets to ensure that they are always at the correct angle when being loaded. I also wanted to mention that to install these brackets you will need U-bolts, the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. I have added some links below to video reviews for you to check out as well...

You will also need CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter - Qty 2 # CE15283GA-2 to secure the brackets to your trailer frame. If you have a lighter boat and would rather have the bunk brackets that allow you to angle the bunk...

These U-bolts are the right size for your frame with a 3-1/16" width.
