These carpeted bunk boards provide hull support for your boat during transport and storage. Each 6-foot-long board is wrapped in weather-resistant, marine-grade black carpet. You can run the bunk boards front to back for traditionally shaped hulls or side to side for flat-bottom boats, kayaks and inflatables.
To attach the bunk boards to the front and rear crossmembers of your trailer frame, use existing brackets or a four-pack of swivel mounting brackets (CE10000G-4, CE10001G-4 or C10002G-4 - sold separately). These brackets allow you to install the bunk boards at different heights. In addition, they enable the bunk boards to tilt to accommodate and support boat hulls of different sizes.

These carpeted bunk boards replace your boat trailer's worn-out bunk boards. Each 6-foot-long 2x4 is covered with durable, marine-grade carpet that helps protect the finish on your boat's hull and is easy to clean.by: Frederic 04/29/2024
This is my second order of bunk boards from etrailer. Solid products at a better price than I could find elsewhere. Quick delivery, too. This time I replaced two 12 foot boards with four 6 footers, and used a bottom steel plate to lock them together. Working great. (There are still 2 mounting spots for each board.. so I don’t anticipate any issues). These aren’t made with pressure treated lumber, but that’s what I have to use because aluminum pontoons can be damaged by lumber treatment chemicals. Better to be safe than sorry.
So I’ve just resolved to myself that replacing my bunk boards will be routine maintenance going forward. Thus far I’m getting at least 4 to 6 years each, and several longer than that. And it’s nice to get reasonably priced replacements from etrailer. (Sure, I could install those fancy synthetic boards and they would last forever. But my trailer has 8 bunk boards, including the two 12 footers. It would be very, very, very expensive. Not worth it. I’ll stick with using etrailer.)

Quick delivery great price for trailer bunks
by: Peder S04/21/2014
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.

order arrived quickly and accurately.
by: Gary08/31/2023
product was excellent. However E-trailer failed to meet their expedited delivery promise (a week late) after I never received my original order. They were very unresponsive when I contacted them on the issue. Poor customer service.
by: Andrew09/07/2023
I can't think of one thing I could want that would be better besides the saleslady Lori coming and installing the glide slides for the 2 pairs and installing the bunks on the trailer. Items are as stated and the quality was better than I could have done it if I bought the wood, cut it and carpeted it. My local trailer place was 2 weeks out and Lori walked me through the shipping process to get the product faster than normal but cheaper than "Next Day". Great advice. I think I found my new trailer store for the next time I need something trailer.

Great product, super fast delivery!!!
by: Good07/15/2016
I bought PWC trailer bunks last year. Shipping and packing was very good and installation went well. I can't really comment on quality because bunks usually are used for years but these seemed no different from my old ones that were somewhat worn so I don't see having any quality issues in the future with these.
Good

Needed replacement bunks for our small trailer. The 6' 2x4" CE Smith CE27840 bunks from etrailer are priced right, are good quality and did the job. They also arrived well packed in just a few days. Good job etrailer!

They work great.
by: Josh K.12/27/2016
Bought these for simplicity even though in my opinion they are overpriced for what they are. A pressure treated 2x4 and some exterior carpet or old fire hose (likely for free from fire station) will get it done cheaper. My complaint about these is etrailer's recommended brackets, which BARELY fit onto thexe 2x4 bunks. The mounting holes are very close to the outside edge of the bunks, and you are mounting them with very large lag screws (not included with these or the brackets).
by: Mark 09/02/2023
Good quality and received as described.

I need to repair my small boat trailer. The bunk boards were straight with a good covering as shown in picture. No complaints
by: Andre05/17/2023
The products are very good! But they forgot to send me a part of my order( I needed to call to request the missing part ) when the missed part arrive I checked and it is open no plastic cover ( nothing cover to protect the part ).
by: SabrToothSqrl04/13/2017
As described, arrived well protected. I guess I was hoping these would be glued in place as well. I know that's not in the description. I've seen new PWC trailers where the carpet is glued down and it looked really nice. The carpet on these is fluffy and soft, and a good upgrade from the outdoor carpet I had covering mine. You'll want to drill holes for the lag screws that go into the brackets that hold these to the trailer. If you want a 1" deep hole, wrap electrical tape 1" from the tip of your drill bit and you'll stop at 1" each hole.

- How To Choose the Correct Roller or Carpeted Bunk Boards for a TrailerThe size of bunk board or bunk roller you will need for your boat trailer is based off the hull size. However, generally speaking the manufacturer knows what size roller/bunk works best for the boat/trailer. Therefore I recommend using the same size that the trailer came with but it wouldn't hurt to go a bit longer if you have room. If you are switching from rollers to carpeted bunk boards then I would go longer. For the carpeted bunk board option we have part # CE27800 which are 36" long,...

- Bunk Boards or Roller Bunks and Brackets for Boat Trailer and 26 Cuddy Cabin BoatI don't believe there is a style of trailer called a low-tide trailer. Most of what you find on an internet search of that term is a broken boat trailer, so the gentleman may have been telling him his trailer was broken or soon to be broken. I've never seen bunk boards resting directly on the frame, so I recommend getting some bunk brackets. I recommend the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 13" - Qty 4 # CE10002G-4 along with the CE Smith U-Bolts -...
view full answer... - Bunk Board Recommendation for a Boat Trailer that Calls for 6 foot and 10 foot BoardsThe longest bunk boards we carry are 6 feet long like the part # CE27840 that you referenced. You could use two sets of the 5 feet long boards like part # CE27820 for the section that calls for 10 feet.
view full answer... - Do the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards Come Pre-Drilled for InstallationThe carpeted bunk boards, # CE27840, come without any holes drilled so you would need to drill to attach brackets and/or directly to the trailer. The reason they are not pre-drilled is because different trailers have different mounting location requirements and CE Smith would not be able to pre-drill for every application. You can use the bolster brackets # CE10000G-4 to mount these bunk boards.
view full answer... - Recommended Carpeted Bunk Boards And Carpet For Tandem Boat TrailerIf you are looking for carpeted bunks for your tandem boat trailer we offer 5 different lengths for you. The boards come in 2 ft, part # CE27850, 3 ft, part # CE27800, 4 ft, part # CE27810, 5 ft, part # CE27820, and 6 ft, part # CE27840. Each of these bunk boards is a 2 x 4 covered with marine-grade carpet that helps protect the hull of your boat as it is loaded and unloaded. If you have longer bunks and you want to cover the bunks you have we carry marine-grade carpet that would work...
view full answer... - Replacement Bunk Boards for a Boat TrailerWe do have a selection of bunk boards available which you can use for a variety of lengths. Below are the different lengths we carry: 2' - # CE27850 3' - # CE27800 4' - # CE27810 5' - # CE27820 6' - # CE27840 7' - # CE27845 Since bunk board brackets can sit at different locations along the boat frame you'll just need to compare the different lengths to what you currently have and you'll be good to go!
view full answer... - Longest CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards and Are They Pressure TreatedThe longest CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards are the 7 feet (84 inch) part # CE27845. The closest we can get to the 103 inches you need is with a 6 foot # CE27840 and 3 foot # CE27800, which comes out to 109 inches. These bunk boards are not pressure treated, they are made from untreated southern pine, though the carpeting on them is marine-grade and weather resistant. I have added links to a couple video reviews of these boards for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Boat Bunks for a Continental Boat Trailer Carrying a 22 Foot HydroSportYes, in addition to 2 x 4 bunk boards like # CE27840, we currently offer a few roller bunks. One I recommend is the Dutton-Lainson deluxe roller bunk # DL21741 because of the non-marking rollers. Also, they are galvanized steel (resists corrosion) and each 5 foot section has a 3,000 pound capacity per pair of rollers. These rollers can be fastened directly to the edge of your existing bunk boards, or the brackets part # DL21742 can be used. You would need 4 of them to mount a pair of roller...

Yes, the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assembly item # CE10000G would offer your bunk boards support and be a great upgrade to your Escort boat trailer. You can replace your current bunk boards with the 6 foot long CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers item # CE27840. Another option is to remove your current bunk boards and keep your galvanized steel supports and rails and just attach new bunk boards.

- Recommended Bunk Brackets For Magic Tilt Boat TrailerI have an option for you, but we do not have any bunk brackets that match what you currently have installed. Instead I recommend the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 9" - Qty 4 # CE10000G-4 which will attach to your Magic Tilt Boat Trailers Frame by a U-Bolt which is not included. These brackets will fit frames up to 6" tall. The correct U-bolts will be dependent on the size of your frame. For example if your frame was 3" x 3" you would need the CE Smith...

- How Long of Bunks for a 12 Foot Long Porta BoatThe general rule of thumb is that you want your bunks to extend completely to the stern (rear) of the boat, or even and inch or two beyond. That way the transom has plenty of support as you drive down the road. The bunks can extend as far forward as you like really, but I think you'll find that about half the length of the boat is usually enough as the front of the boat is generally supported by the bow stop on the trailer. For a 12 foot boat like your Porta Boat I would go with 6 foot...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add Bunk Boards to Boat TrailerTo add bunk boards you'll simply need the bunk boards and mounting brackets which attach to the front and rear crossmember of your trailer frame. If you already have brackets you may be able to use them, otherwise, you just need the correct length of boards and brackets: - CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 4' Long # CE27810, 5' Long # CE27820, 6' Long # CE27840, or 7' Long # CE27845 - CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 9" # CE10000G-4,...
view full answer... - Recommended Bunk Brackets for Zodiac Inflatable Pontoon Boat Trailer The CE Smith Bolster Bracket # CE10052-32G features a span of just barely over 15 inches so it might be a bit small to comfortably support the 16 inch tubes on your Zodiac Inflatable Boat. You will likely be better off using a set of standard brackets like the CE Smith # CE10196G-4 that feature a swiveling design to let you tilt the bunk boards at an angle for the pontoon. For the bunk boards themselves you can use the CE Smith Carpeted Boards that are available in lengths of 7 feet #...
view full answer... - Do CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards Use Pressure Treated WoodThe CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers # CE27840 does not use pressure treated wood, although the carpeting on the boards is both resistant to both weather and mold so if you rinse off the boards and let them dry these bunk boards will last. You can install the boards on your trailer frame's existing brackets or you can use the Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4. I have added links to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Adding Bunk Boards to a Ecolight Sports Trailerto transport your Porte boat with the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer - 58" Crossbars - 400 lbs item # MAL53FR. I recommend the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers item # CE27840. These come in pairs and can be cut to a desired length. You will also want the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies item # CE10000G-4 to attach the bunk boards to your trailer.

view full answer... - Choosing Carpeted Boat Trailer Bunks vs. Roller BunksYou will want to choose carpeted boat trailer bunks to more or less match the hull profile of your boat. By this I mean that if the bow end of the hull had a steep upward slope so that only about 12-feet of the boat's total 16-foot length would be resting on the bunks then you should be fine using two 6-foot bunks # CE27840 per side. If you are replacing original bunks I would stick with the size supplied originally by the trailer maker. You might google search the trailer model to see...

These bunk boards will install with the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 as well as CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4.

- Is Lumber Used for CE Smith CE27840 Bunk Boards Pressure TreatedThe boards used by the CE Smith # CE27840 bunk boards are NOT pressure treated. They are constructed of Southern Yellow pine, which offers a high degree of moisture and rot resistance. I used the same bunk boards on my PWC trailer, I installed them 6 years ago and they're still sound.
view full answer... - Availability of 9-1/2 Foot Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat TrailerNo worries, you can easily construct some bunks yourself. Go to your local lumberyard and get some treated 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, but if you're anything like me you'll find a use for the scrap. You can use carpet adhesive to attach the carpet to the bunks, but two years ago when I re-did the bunks on my PWC trailer I used...
view full answer... - Roller Bunks for a 20 Foot, 6,000 Pound BoatI recommend using 5 foot long sections of roller bunks # DL21741. Each set is rated at 3,000 pounds so you would have to double up the rollers on each side to have a combined 6,000 pound capacity (assuming each set is holding an equal amount of weight). These are the highest capacity roller bunks we have so if doubling them up is not an option you might want to look at carpeted bunks such as # CE27840.
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Convert Boat Trailer From Rollers To Bunk BoardsSwitching 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. We have the following bunk boards available: -CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 3' Long # CE27800 -CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 4' Long # CE27810 -CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 5' Long # CE27820 -CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 6' Long # CE27840 -CE...

They are made from untreated southern yellow pine. I confirmed this with my contact at CE Smith. They do feature marine-grade carpeting that is weather resistant.
view full answer... - How To Replace 18 Foot Long Bunk Boards On a Pontoon Boat TrailerI think the best option for your pontoon boat trailer would be to break the 18' long bunk boards down into three sections which then leaves 6' for each section. The shorter each board is, the more support you will have to a degree which is why I recommend this route. If one of them breaks you will only need to replace a small section as well. The CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers part # CE27840 is what I recommend because they are made of treated wood and have the carpet already...
