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.

New bunk risers are in as is the new bunk and carpet. The reminder here is to check the bolts securing the bunks. The bunks came loose out at the Colorado river north of Yuma so had to jimmy rig the boat to the trailer on the way home to San Diego. Oh, and it was well over 100 degrees on the way home. No bueno! Everything good to go now.

Bought a used trailer that did not match my boat's hull. Ordered this hardware and new 6' bunks, cut off original "fixed" mounts and bunks and installed these adjustable ones. Carefully lifting a 4500# boat and working under it and the trailer and other than some parts hard to reach, job went as planned.
I am happy with the results.
I have always been happy with all my experiences with etrailer.
Thx

Product worked as expected and could not be happier.

They have worked well for my application. I added a center toon to my boat. Needed a good way to support it on the trailer.

It works as it should. I bought a different trailer and it transfered to it like it was made for it.
by: Matt08/07/2023
Three of the four brackets work great. One continues to slide down which allows the boat to rest on the fender. I've retorqued the bolts 3x and it still slides. down. Otherwise, great.

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!

Turned a driftboat trailer into a driftboat/raft/pontoon boat trailer in less than 30 minutes! easy to take off and on and no welding required.
by: Steven M10/07/2019
I like your products and have built a few interesting trailers from them. This one is for an inflatable catamaran from Dux Boats, and I have the whole boat resting in bunks such that the pontoons are suspended and do not touch anything. I built another one which allows you to carry a hobie 16 and a laser on the same trailer, and independently take them off.
Keep up the good work!

I was originally looking for material, glue and staples to re upholster the bunks on my boat trailer. I found new bunks complete and ready to go on your web site. I came to my senses and bought them. To make the job easier and nicer I also bought new bolster swivel brackets. It was much easier to set the new bunks next to the old
ones and mount the new hardware. You have two great products, I would highly recommend both.
by: Brian03/13/2019
I had been looking for these locally and hadn't been able to find them, so i was very happy to find a complete set at such a good price! And they arrived at the early side of on time and they are very well made and exactly what I needed. I will be using etrailer again in the future, Thanks again and Good Job!

The bunk brackets I bought are working out great! In hind sight I do wish I had bought the U bolt set for them at the same time but otherwise theyve been a good purchase!
by: Walt R05/28/2013
Strong, heavily plated and simply designed bracket. Final adjustments were made with a two pound hammer to cant them a little. They did not bend during the process, good hard steel. No disappointments here.

No rust and no fatigue cracks. These brackets are industrial strength, not cheap junk.
by: Jim F.02/26/2015
Haven't installed the items yet, but they seem of good quality & are exactly what I need & what I expected. Shipping was quite fast & communication excellent! Should the need arise, I'll do business with etrailer again.

No problems encountered in a years time

Everything came in as advertised. Purchased CE Smith bolsters, u-brackets, lag screws and carpet. Added two bunk boards to my Lowe trailer (Karavan). Only had two boards and I wanted extra to support the weight of the boat. Everything assembled easily. My boat loads easier and trailers better. Plus I have the piece of mind of having 4 boards vs 2.
by: Eric03/25/2018
Used these on a trailer I was setting up for a deck boat. Worked pretty well. The "L" brackets on top could be a bit stronger. They bent a bit putting the boat on the trailer. Since I had extra, my solution was to weld 2 back to back. I would buy again.
by: James08/03/2017
Great selection. Fast shipping. Made my trailer conversion from rollers to bunks. etailer.com made it fast and simple. Just measure up you needs, go on-line and you're set. Three days later you have all the parts you needed.
by: John07/19/2016
Good product-basic bunk bracket. Bought the extra length ones as i wasn't sure how high i needed to put the bunks to get our jetski up high enough on a trailer i rebuilt. Look to be good quality.

our roller supports we purchased for the boat trailer work great. If we need any thing else for the trailer we will be sure to let you know. If anyone ask... we will tell them to look you up....

Nice and strong . They function perfect to hold my two stand up Jetski's on my trailer.

They fit the roller bunks I installed and the boat now loads easier.
by: Lucas G.04/13/2017
Easy to pick out what I wanted,
Got here quick. I can't complain
The tracking system could be better though
by: Robert08/20/2020
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.
by: Robert07/18/2019
The order arrived later than I expected. When choosing what I thought was overnight delivery which prevented me from getting the trailer back to the customer on time. However the product was just what I expected and the trailer is back in use.

- 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... - Centering Boat On Trailer With Wobble Rollers The keel roller will help to center your boat as the wobble rollers you have allow the boat to sit slightly to one side or the other. We do offer the CE Smith Keel Roller # CE29505 which has a self centering design to help guide your boat to the center of the trailer. It is also a non-marring PVC construction which is more durable than the rubber rollers you have. We also have the Ark Ezi-Guides Self-Aligning Boat Trailer Loading System # AR84FR which is designed for power boats from...

- Do the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies have a Weight CapacityI spoke with my contact at CE Smith, and they said the Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assembly for Boat Trailers, part # CE10001G-4, do not hold the weight of the watercraft themselves. The U-bolts that attach the brackets to the trailer frame are what support the weight of the watercraft. What I recommend is to find some u-bolts and hardware locally that have the proper capacity exceeding 350 pounds per u-bolt. If you did that then each one could support over 700 pounds. But the more brackets...
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... - Bunk Board Bracket Recommendation For Boat TrailerI recommend the CE Smith Bolster And Swivel Mounting Brackets, part # CE10000G-4. These are 9 inches long and have a swivel feature that enables you to tilt the bunks to the correct angle to fit the bottom of your boat. We also carry the mounting U-bolts to attach the brackets to the trailer frame. They vary in size and you will want to choose the correct ones based on the frame size of your trailer. I have attached a link to our product page for the U-Bolts we carry. All of these come...
view full answer... - Determining Trailer Bunk Board Length for 14 Foot Sailboat It's not an exact science but typically you want the bunk boards on a trailer to extend all the way to the rear of the boat. It wouldn't hurt to have them go a bit beyond this too to ensure proper support during travel. Since the front of the boat should be supported by the bow stop you usually see bunk boards that measure about half the length of the boat itself. Since you no longer have the boards that originally came on your trailer it might also be a good idea to try and contact the...

From the top of the swivel bracket to the inside of the U-bolt(top of crossemember) at its highest point it is 5-7/8". From the top of the swivel bracket to the inside of the U-bolt(top of crossemember) at its lowest point it is 3-1/2". You will need to add in the height of your Bunk Boards # CE27840 and/or Roller...

- How to Attach CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Mounting Brackets for Bunk Boards # CE10001G-4The CE Smith Galvanized Bolster and Swivel Mounting Brackets for Bunk Boards # CE10001G-4 come with nuts and bolts to attach the swivel brackets to the bolster brackets, but you will need to supply either lag bolts or other through bolt hardware to attach these assemblies to the wooden bunks on your boat trailer and the trailer frame. Either type of hardware is suitable and you can determine which is best, and what specific length you need, based on the construction of your particular...
view full answer... - Parts to Convert Roller Bunks to Bunk Boards on Boat TrailerIt sounds like you are just wanting to switch to carpeted bunk boards. For that you can use the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers, which come in a number of different lengths: 5 feet long # CE27820, 6 feet long # CE27840 or 7 feet long # CE27845. To install these you can mount them to brackets that are already on your trailer or use CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies; you would need two of these per bunk board. The assemblies are available in different lengths...
view full answer... - What is the Weight Capacity of CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket AssembliesThe CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 11" - Qty 4 # CE10001G-4 do not have a weight capacity, and are dependent on the U-bolts to hold the weight. With 2 U-bolts per bolster-and-swivel bracket assembly, and 12 total holding the bunks for your boat, you will not have a problem as long as your boat is not exceeding the capacity of your boat trailer. You can certainly add a keel support if you would like additional support for your boat, but it will not...

- Bolster Brackets for Bunks on a Boat TrailerConsidering that there will be a bunk of some kind mounting on top of the brackets once installed the 11 inch overall height of the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Mounting Brackets # CE10001G-4 should work just fine for you. If you determine the 11 inches is not enough we do have a set of four 13 inch brackets, # CE10002G-4. The slotted holes on these brackets will allow for some adjustability.
view full answer... - Recommended Hardware to Lift Boat Bunks on TrailerI would also assume you're correct. If you have regular bunks on your trailer, you can just use taller bolster brackets and reattach the boards to raise them. For a 16 1/4" tall bracket, you can use the CE Smith Double U-Bolt Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10196G-4, for a 13" tall bracket you can use # CE10002G-4, and for an 11" tall bracket you can use # CE10001G-4. From here, you can just reuse the u-bolts that you currently have, or you can use the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4.
view full answer... - Boat Won't Sit Properly on Boat Trailer Roller SystemI can definitely help you figure out what bunk boards to use, but I think with a little adjustment we can get your boat to load much easier with your current setup. Since rollers are considered an upgrade compared to carpeted bunk boards it's a little unusual to want to "downgrade" (in a sense) your boat trailer. From the pictures you sent in and the way you phrased the problem that you're having, it sounds like your Cakins boat makes contact with the keel rollers on your winch stand and...

- 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...

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...

Since you are installing a Bolster-and-swivel-bracket assembly part # CE10001G-4 and need a 4-1/8 inch width by 3-1/2 or 4-inch length U-bolt, we currently don't offer a close match. I would recommend going to a local hardware store to locate a U-bolt with the dimensions you need. I would go with a stainless steel u-bolt because it is corrosion resistant and ideal for marine applications. For the lighting and wiring on your 1984 Shoreline boat trailer,...

- Brackets and Bunks For my Magi BT 28We do offer a carpeted bunks like the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers part # CE27845 in various lengths depending on how you want to configure it. It appears like you will need at least 4 across the back. Then once you get to the second section a shorter one on the outside than on the inside. If you will match up the bunks with the length of the roller assemblies they will have the appropriate capacity. The rollers at the front end of the trailer I would replace the rubber...

The U-bolt that attaches the brackets to the trailer frame support the weight of the boat. There should be a bracket attached to each cross member of the trailer frame.

You can select galvanized hardware that will fit at your mounting point. I linked our page for galvanized u-bolt kits. This bracket is not intended for 2 x 4 bunk boards; it works with 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 boards to support your boat's pontoons. For 2 x 4 bunks you can use kit # CE10001G-4.

You will also need brackets # CE10001G-4 and U-bolts # CE15283GA-4 to mount the boards.
