Rust-resistant assemblies let you install 2 bunk boards on your boat trailer. Swivel brackets enable bunks to tilt when loading a boat. Mounting slots allow for height adjustment. Dimpled surfaces keep brackets from sliding along the trailer frame.
Features:
Specs:
Bolster-and-swivel-bracket assemblies are typically mounted upright on a boat trailer's crossmembers. They allow a mounted bunk board, which runs from the front of the trailer to the back, to tilt to accommodate and support boat hulls of different sizes. On kayak trailers, these brackets are mounted to the trailer's frame and support bunk boards that run across the trailer.
Galvanized Steel
Steel parts are galvanized by being hot-dipped in zinc after they have been stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding.

Very strong, these were a great way to add bunks to our boat lift. Highly recommended!
Good brackets, well built, thick metal with excellent galvanized coating on them. A quality product and installation is straight forward. Thumbs up!
So far so good. The brackets are working fine so far. Haven't put the trailer on the road yet, but the boat requires bunkers to have a curve or bow in them. The middle brackets stand the torsion as well as the weight of the boat. Easy to install as well.
First off, I want to say that the products that I ordered from etrailer.com were of high quality and were easy to install, and lets not forget about the fast shipping and my favorite - the personal touch added to the email communications where each one is signed by a human (rather than something generic).
My project itself entailed replacing the two (original) vertical mount 4' bunks on my boat trailer (see the attached pictures). These were set-up to hold a 15' sailboat. I recently purchased a 12' (plastic) jon boat, and I felt that the jon boat needed better support on the trailer so that it didn't warp or dent.
After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with two horizontal mount 6' bunks. They were pre-finished at a cost less than if I were to purchase the individual components (wood, glue, carpet, staples, etc.) and do the assembly work myself. Attaching the hardware and mounting them to the trailer was a snap - see the attached pictures for the finished setup.
I got these bolsters to convert an old jet ski trailer frame to carry my large fishing kayak. They worked great. CE Smith is a great brand name for trailer parts. eTrailer shipped quickly although USPS tracking sure wasn’t up to par. eTrailer is dependable and has great support with videos and info.
Great product with exact measurements. Thank you to everyone involved with this shipment.
I took a fishing trip to Quebec Canada and had to travel 115 kilometers on a dirt rd resulting 5 of my original bunk brackets cracking. The lodge personnel welded them so we could get home. Replaced them with your brackets that are a lot stronger and easy to install. Looking forward to next trip
I took my existing utility trailer that I bought at the local supply store and converted it to a boat trailer for my new RIB for a couple hundred dollars. It saved me well over a thousand dollars and works great.
Parts worked great, made rebuilding my boat trailer a breeze.
These are actually for wood bunks, not the roller bunks which I bought. Had to drill another centered hole in top. Not hard though.
Bunk brackets mated perfectly to the trailer frame, wide range of adjustments both height wise and angle of the bunks.
Great parts and service as usual. Thanks Lori !
Parts arrived a day early and I got it done in short order. The boat is much happier on its new support and bunk parts...
I'm not a trailer person but I found "etrailer's" website informative enough to know what I needed. I also had the benefit of an etrailer staff member who knew his products and thus able to make sure I bought the correct pieces. The plus was when the items arrived much sooner than the shipping time they quoted. I have not yet installed the items but hope to do it this week. Excellent source to buy quality trailer parts.

Fine - everything still in one piece
Great product, super fast delivery!!!
Everything is great (5-star). However, I must return the roller bracket for a refund, as the mounting holes do not match up with my trailer.
Prompt delivery, easy installation, worked out great. Thank you.

Sorry to respond so late. Good service, good product. Thanks
These brackets worked perfectly to help me convert my boat trailer to a roller bed system allowing for much easier launching of my boat.

I couldn’t be any happier about these roller tracks.
this has happened again. I can't rate a product that should last years the minute it gets in my hand. The pieces LOOK good. The shipping was timely and the price was fair none of which tells me or you how good the product IS. Get back after two years of dunking in fresh and salt water and I'll give an honest review.

so far so good. After a year of dunking in fresh and salt water there is no sign of rust and no cracks in the material. Im pleased and a little surprised they held up so far given the poor quality of a lot of galvanized pieces nowadays. If they hold up this good after two years they have my wholehearted endorsement, for what thats worth.
In my opinion The holes in the brackets that attach to the bunk boards are, when bracket is centered on the boards, approximately 3/8” from the edge of the board. Whether lag screw or bolting leaves very little room for strength.
Further, there was no bolts or lag screws provided.
Otherwise a nice product.
I'm gathering parts for a complete boat trailer redo. Most of my parts are coming from etrailer.com. They have what I need, the price is right, the site is easy to shop and they ship promptly. Oh, and as I recently found out, customer service is quick to straighten things out when something is not right.
Great mounts ... heavy duty ... Worth the money ??
Good hardware, straight forward installation, no problems for the last year...
