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: 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: 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: 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

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: 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: 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.

- 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... - Brackets for Adding Additional Bunk Boards to Magic Tilt Galvanized Kayak TrailerThe problem is that your bunks need to face a different direction than what standard boat trailers have so it's hard to have a solution since your setup is unique. That said I don't see why you couldn't use CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10002G-4 attached to the rails front to back on your trailer so that could could mount the bunks. For a U-bolt kit you could then use the part # CE15283GA-4 to secure the brackets.
view full answer... - Replacement Carpeted Bunks For Boat Trailer RecommendationWe offer both carpet that you can use to replace your worn carpet on your bunks for your trailer, and we also carry replacement carpeted bunks for your trailer. 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... - 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... - Bunk Brackets and Keel Rollers for Magic Tilt Boat TrailerWe do have bunk brackets and keel rollers that you can use with your Magic Tilt boat trailer, though not that size leaf spring. For the brackets you only need to choose the size you want: - 9 Inches: CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 - 11 Inches: CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 - 13 Inches: CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10002G-4 With each of these brackets you can attach them with CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Convert a Boat Trailer From Rollers to Bunk BoardsThis can absolutely be done. 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...

- Recommended 10-Inch Bolster Brackets And Hardware For Boat TrailerWe have bolster brackets with swivels and the hardware needed to install them but they are not available as a kit. For the brackets I recommend part # CE10001G-4. This includes 4 10-inch bolster brackets with the swivels. For the additional bolsters you said you need you can order part # CE10001G. These are sold individually. The hardware needed to mount the bolsters to your trailer I recommend is part # CE15283GA-4. This includes 4-U-bolts, washers and nuts. For additional U-bolts...
view full answer... - Availability of 7 Feet Long 2 x 4 Carpeted Bunk Boards for a Boat TrailerThe 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....
view full answer... - Installation Of Roller Bunks On Karavan Boat TrailerIf the brackets don't allow enough swivel to allow the roller bunks to fit flush on the boat, I recommend replacing the brackets with bolster brackets that will allow enough swivel like the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 9" - Qty 4 # CE10000G-4. This bracket can be installed with CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter - Qty 4 # CE15283GA-4. You will want the proper fit for best load support and function.
view full answer... - How To Install The CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers # CE27710If you have adjustable brackets for the bunk boards then you could lower them down and mount the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers # CE27710 directly to them. If you don't have adjustable brackets then you would need to remove the bunk boards and install new brackets like the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies for Roller Bunks # CE10003G-4. These brackets can be attached to the frame of the trailer with U-bolts like the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. You'll want to measure...

- Recommended U-Bolts for Bracket Replacement on Boat Trailer With 3x3 FrameFor U-bolts for your 3" x 3" frame you will want something that is slightly larger. If the measurements were listed as exactly 3" it isn't going to fit. What you need is the CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter # CE15283GA. These U-bolts are the right size for your frame with a 3-1/16" width. They come in various quantities depending on your needs. 2 Bolts # CE15283GA-2 4 Bolts # CE15283GA-4 8 Bolts # CE15283GA-8 I have attached a review video for...
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - 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... - Replacement Bunk Brackets for 13-Foot TrailerI have added a link to our page with each of our bunk brackets on it. Each of the brackets we have available are made of galvanized steel, such as # CE26233-34GA and # CE10100G, or zinc-plated steel, such as # DL21742, which are designed to resist corrosion and avoid rotting out.
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Convert Boat Trailer From Roller Bunks To Bunk BoardsAlthough we don't have an actual guide, switching from roller bunks to bunk boards on your boat trailer is fairly straightforward. For the most part, you will just be replacing the rollers with the boards. You can use bunk boards like the # CE27820. You will also need brackets # CE10001G-4 and U-bolts # CE15283GA-4 to mount the boards. I'm not entirely sure what your setup is, so I went ahead and included a link to all of our bunk boards at the bottom if you need a different length. I...
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...
view full answer... - Replacing Rollers with Bunk Boards on Lund Boat Trailer There's no particular reason you can't replace the rollers on your Lund trailer with wooden bunks. To do this I recommend taking a look at the CE Smith Bunk Boards # CE27820 which include two 5 foot long pre-carpeted boards that will work great. The black carpeting is marine-grade so it's going to hold up just fine to frequent water exposure. To install the boards you will just need a set of bolster brackets like the CE Smith Galvanized # CE10000G-4 along with the U-Bolts and hardware...
view full answer... - Picking Out Roller Bunks for 2002 Bayliner Boat TrailerI don't have a way to look up what length bunk boards your trailer has but best would be to measure your boards and then go with the bunk length that matches. For 5 foot bunks you'd want the part # CE27710 and for 4 foot part # CE27700. You can attach the rollers to your current bunks and it will sit a little higher but all that means is that you'd need to have trailer a little deeper in water when launching. But since rollers have less resistance it won't be by much.
view full answer... - Roller Bunks For 8 Foot Long Bunk Boards on Jet Ski TrailerSince you have 8 foot wooden bunks already, you can indeed just mount the roller bunks directly to the wooden bunks with 3/8" lag screws, and you're correct you'd need four of the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers - 4' Long # CE27700. The lag screws are something you'd have to pick up at your hardware store, and that's the route I'd go since it's just easier overall (and just as safe) than removing your current bunks. But if you're more comfortable removing your current bunk boards...
view full answer... - Recommended Placement of Bunk Boards on Bayliner Capri 1950After completing a very thorough image search online, it appears that the most common bunk placement is about 2/3 of the way between the keel and the ridge that runs along the side of the hull. Rather than on end, most of the bunks I saw had the board meeting the hull on the flat. This disperses more of the weight of the boat along the bunk. The # CE27820 bunk boards you mentioned would be perfect. I'd also recommend using # CE10001G-4 bunk brackets and # CE15283GA-4 Galvanized u-bolts.
view full answer... - Converting Boat Trailer From Rollers to Bunk BoardsFor the bunks I recommend using two sets of the 5' CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27820, or you'd like to get your own wooden boards you can wrap them in Marine-Grade Carpeting # CE11349. To install the boards, you will need a pair of Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 per board, which are 11", as well as a pair of U-Bolt Kits # CE15283GA-4. I've added links to video reviews of these parts for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Are There 7 Foot 2x4 Bunk Boards For Jet Ski TrailerWe do have bunk boards that are 7 foot long 2x4's for your jet ski trailer, which are the following part number: - CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 7' Long # CE27845 To mount them you can use bolster brackets, and choose the height that is correct for you, the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 9" # CE10000G-4, 11" # CE10001G-4, or 13" # CE10002G-4 with CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide # CE15283GA-4.
