Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being 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.

Still hanging in there. No issues.

Galvanizing was a bit heavy. Made it hard to get nuts on



by:

Just what I ordered quick and easy



by:

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.

etrailer.com had everything I needed to replace critical parts for my 34ft. cruiser boat trailer. Reasonable prices and Wow SUPER FAST shipping!! I ordered YATES keel pads, keel rollers, bow rollers, roller end caps, pal nuts, and galvanized square U-bolts. All items were well packaged in one box. It's my second order from etrailer.com, very easy to navigate their inventory. One stop shopping. Absolutely will buy form etrailer again.



by:

After about a year of saltwater and freshwater use on my boat trailer, They are still doing fine.



by:

Easy ordering, delivered as promised. Quality merchandise. I'll be ordering more from etrailer!



by:

All of the trailer brackets are good quality. The brackets seem to be priced fair but the U-Bolts are very expensive (double what I would have expected to pay)



by:

The length could have been 1/4" longer. Could not get the lock washers on used blue Loctite threadlocker.

  • Which Replacement Bunk Brackets For Boat Trailer
    If you are wanting to use vertical bunk brackets like the CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets - 90 Degree - Galvanized Steel - 6" Tall - Qty 2 # CE10160GA-2, I recommend using them on the front and rear of the trailer. 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.

  • Is Mounting Hardware Included with CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies, # CE10000G-4
    The 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...

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...

    The keel rollers on a boat trailer are deigned to absorb shock while loading and launching your boat so you don't put as much stress on other components such as the bunk boards. The correct one will be chosen based on the shape of your boat's hull and the dimensions of the trailer frame. The CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10405G is a great universal option. The only other thing you would need is u-bolts like the CE Smith U-Bolts part # CE15283GA-2 that match your frame. I...

  • Recommended Bunk Brackets For Pontoon Boat Trailer
    If there is no flex in the bunks with the pontoon boat loaded, you should be fine with the 1/2 inch clearance. If you are possibly hitting the frame of the trailer when traveling I recommend replacing the bunk brackets with taller ones like part # CE10161GA. This bracket sits on top of the frame of the trailer and are 8 inches tall, and 5 inches wide with 4 mounting holes that are spaced 1-1/2 inches apart center to center. This will give you options to mount the bunks at the height you...

  • Hardware Requirements to Install CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly CE10455G
    The specific hardware to best install the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly # CE10455G really depends on the desired mounting point on a particular trailer. U-bolts like # CE15283GA-2 are often a good option but other galvanized hardware you source locally may be better in some cases. Generally one pair of u-bolts would be sufficient for each roller in most typical installations.

  • Replacement Keel Roller for my Calkins Boat Trailer
    I have a couple of solutions but the sizes aren't exactly what you're after. I instead recommend using the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers part # CE10405G to replace the 11.5" roller you currently have. This will allow for adjusting it to match your boats hull. Use CE Smith U-Bolts part # CE15283GA-2 if your hardware is missing or damaged.

  • Availability of 7 Feet Long 2 x 4 Carpeted Bunk Boards for a Boat Trailer
    The longest carpeted bunk boards we currently offer is 6 feet in length. It's the CE Smith part # CE27840 and each 6-foot long 2x4 is covered in marine grade carpet. You can easily construct some bunks yourself. Go to your local lumberyard and get some yellow pine 2x4x10 boards. You can then purchase some of the marine-grade carpet we offer, like part # CE11372. You'll need one roll per bunk, which means you'll have some scrap left over, which you can utilize as needed for other projects....

  • Do the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies 9" Come with U-Bolts

We do offer several sizes though such as the CE Smith U-Bolts part # CE15283GA-2 which are for 3" tall frames. If you can let me know what size you need I would be glad to help or you can choose from the list below.

    Based on images I could find on your Ranger 620FS boat trailer they all use a wide keel roller like the 12" CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly # CE10455G. This particular roller is made of a thermal-plasticized rubber (TPR) which makes it stronger than rubber but will also not mar your boat keel. We do carry the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-2 which will allow you to mount it on a 3" tall by 2" wide crossmember. If you have a different size crossmember let me know or you will be able...

  • What Hardware Is Needed To Mount CE Smith Panel Bracket CE10305G For 12" Keel Roller?
    To mount the CE Smith Panel Bracket for 12" Boat Trailer Rollers - Galvanized Steel # CE10305G you were looking at you have two options. The first being welding the bracket to your trailer. If you go this route you need to make sure to sand off the galvanized coating as it gives off a harmful gas when it is welded. The second and more common option is using U-bolts. The U-bolts will need to match the size of the frame on your trailer so you will need to measure that. For example we have...

  • Can I Weld the CE Smith CE10160GA-2 Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets
    Because the CE SMith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets # CE10160GA-2 are galvanized steel, I don't recommend welding them because of the inherent issues that come along with welding on a coated steel. These are designed to be secured to the trailer frame using U-bolts like the # CE15283GA-2, so I do recommend using that method. I've gone ahead and linked our entire selection of u-bolts in case you find that you need something a bit longer, as well.

  • Does CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Boat Trailers # CE10196G have Weight Capacity
    The CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Boat Trailers # CE10196G does not carry a specific weight rating. But since it is made from 1/8-inch-thick galvanized steel in typical use it will be over-rated for the application with plenty of safety margin. For your 2,000 lb boat it would work well and not be under-rated. For swivel brackets you'd then want the part # CE10206G and then for U-bolts you'd want the part # CE15283GA-2.

  • Will CE Smith Bolster Brackets Handle Weight of Boat
    Yes, the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assembly # CE10000G will accommodate the weight of your boat. The only thing you will need to install them are U-bolts such as part # CE15283GA-2.

  • Can I Use Roller Bunks and Carpeted Bunk Boards Together on Boat Trailer
    I'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...

  • Roller For Use With Tourney Pro Transom Saver
    The right roller will depend on the frame of your boat trailer for use with the Tourney Pro Transom Saver # 315-FXJ.
