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.

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!

High quality hardware, buy with confide nce.

@Daniel You're welcome!

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.



by:

They where easy to install... Heavy duty ... Worth every penny big to Etrailer...



by:

Good quality product. Unfortunately, I need a shorter u-bolt length to fit the frame on my trailer, so will be returning.



by:

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.

The product is still working great !



by:

Service and follow up was phenomenal.



by:

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:

Shipping box half open. More tape?? bolt package open not all lock washers included. Nothing major. I’ll get another one at Lowes

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:

Exactly what I needed. Easy checkout and Very fast shipping.



by:

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:

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:

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.



by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

Bought several parts from eTrailer to complete this restoration and transformation of a 1958 trailer to suit my needs today. Couldn't have done it in only 4 days without the help from this great company with quality products!



by:

The parts came quickly, all well packed. The coating on them seems very good. Love the way the nuts and washers are packaged and ty wrapped to the u bolts. They should work out well.

  • Parts Needed to Replace 12 x 2-1/2 Inch Rollers on Boat Trailer
    You may be able to use the 12-3/4" x 1/2" Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts # CE10705A with the Yates Side Guide Roller 12" Long - 1/2" Shaft # YR12243-4P, but it won't give you much space to work with. A better option is to use the Yates Side Guide Roller 12" Long # YR12243-5 instead, which uses a 5/8" shaft, along with bracket # 408300, shaft and pal nuts # CE10727A. We don't carry a 1/2" shaft kit that is longer than 12-3/4". The CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE15283GA-4, that you were looking at,...

  • 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.

  • Recommended U-Bolts for Bracket Replacement on Boat Trailer With 3x3 Frame
    For 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.

  • When Using Two Sets Of CE Smith Roller Bunks For Boat Trailers Is Weight Capacity Increased
    I called my contact at CE Smith about the Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers, part # CE27700. They said since you are planning on using 4 bunks instead of 2, the rollers would have no problem with the additional 500 lbs as you described, as long as the weight is distributed evenly on the roller bunks. These roller bunks can be attached to wooden bunks or you may want to use swivel brackets like part # CE10003G-4. If you need U-bolts I recommend part # CE15283GA-4 for 4 U-bolts. For 4...

  • Distance Between 1st & 3rd Bolt Holes of Replacement CE Smith Heavy Duty Vertical Bunk Bracket
    The 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.

  • 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...

  • 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....

  • Parts Needed To Convert Boat Trailer From Roller Bunks To Bunk Boards
    Although 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...

  • Replacement Bunk Boards and Brackets Needed for 1997 Esco Boat Trailer
    Typically 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.

  • Brackets for Adding Additional Bunk Boards to Magic Tilt Galvanized Kayak Trailer
    The 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.

  • Roller Bunks For 8 Foot Long Bunk Boards on Jet Ski Trailer
    Since 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...

  • Converting Boat Trailer From Rollers to Bunk Boards
    For 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.

    You can actually purchase the carpeted bunk boards and the brackets that hold them, like what is on the CE Boat Trailer # CE48810, separately.

The Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 can be installed on your boat trailer using the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4.

    I don't believe there is a style of trailer called a low-tide trailer.

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"...
