This rust-resistant bolster bracket helps support 1 bunk board on your boat trailer when used with a swivel bracket (sold separately). Mounting slots allow for height adjustment. Dimpled surface helps keeps bracket from sliding along trailer frame.
Features:
Specs:
Bolster brackets are typically mounted upright on a boat trailer's crossmembers. When used with a swivel bracket (sold separately), they allow a mounted bunk board, which is run from the front of the trailer to the back, to pivot while you are loading a boat. On kayak trailers, these brackets are mounted to the trailer's frame and support bunk boards that run across the trailer.
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.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at the CE Smith Galvanized Steel Bolster Bracket. Now, bolster brackets are typically mounted upright on a boat's trailer's crossmembers, and when used with the swivel bracket, they allow a mounted bunk board, which is run from the front of the trailer to the back to pivot while you are loading a boat. On kayak trailers, these brackets are mounted to the trailer's frame and support bunk boards that run across the trailer. This rust-resistant bolster bracket helps support one bunk board on your boat trailer when used with a swivel bracket, two brackets are required per bunk board, and additional bracket is sold separately. The dimpled surface helps prevent the bracket from sliding along your trailer's frame, and these mounting slots are gonna permit as much as 2 3/4 inches of height adjustment during installation, and the bracket installs vertically on your boat's trailer's frame with a U-bolt. This is made in the USA of 11-gauge galvanized steel that will resist rust and corrosion.
Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped, this creates a coating that is typically three millimeters to five millimeters thick, and this thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding, so this is gonna be suitable for saltwater exposure. You are gonna get one bracket. Let me give you some overall dimensions here just to give you an idea of the size. So the overall height, we're gonna be sitting right at eight inches tall, and with our width, we're gonna be sitting right at 2 1/2 inches wide. And as I said, the length of the mounting slots measure right at 2 3/4 inches, so you're gonna get 2 3/4 inches of height adjustment on these mounting slots, and they are sitting right at half an inch wide, and then the spacing between those slots are also right at half an inch, and the swivel bracket mounting hole diameter is half an inch.
Now, check out our website here at etrailer.com if you need U-bolts or swivel brackets or bunk boards, we have a variety of options for you to choose from that will best work for your trailer. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..

This rust-resistant bolster bracket helps support 1 bunk board on your boat trailer when used with a swivel bracket (sold separately). Mounting slots allow for height adjustment. Dimpled surface helps keeps bracket from sliding along trailer frame.I ordered Bolster Bracket (EC10100G) with Swivel Bracket (CE10201G). These 2 items work great together and are good quality and made of heavy metal. The trick to mounting the 2x4 boards: 1 mount the Bolster Brackets Loose as close to the height you need, 2 mount the Swivel Bracket loose so it can lay sideways then you can mount the 2x4 easily, then tighten the Swivel Brackets to the angle that is need for your boat.
Looking good and should be strong enough to hold a 2500 lb boat through these galvanized brackets supporting 2X4 bunk boards. Great quality.
Well I can't believe it's really been a year since I purchased all the parts from Etrailer to rebuild my jon boat trailer. I bought this tilt trailer on craigslist and well let's just say needed some MAJOR TLC. From the roller brackets, fenders, tires/wheels, hitch coupler, winch, etc.. All the parts have held up extremely well and I am VERY happy with not only the quality of the parts but the customer service as well. This is my "GOTO" place to buy parts for all 3 of my trailers!!
I purchased a spare tire carrier/bracket this past Spring and although it arrived promptly, I delayed mounting it on the boat trailer because the boat had already been put in the water for the summer sailing season. I couldn't position the bracket on the trailer properly until the boat was taken out of the water for the season and put on the trailer. With the hull in place, I could now position the spare tire bracket so the tire cleared all the trailer structure and the boat itself. For this reason, I took awhile to provide this review since the bracket only sat in it's shipping box for the summer season. The bracket itself is well made, but would have been nicer if it came galvanized, or at least painted. Before installation, I took the time to prime and paint it to match the white color of the trailer and prevent surface rust. It was easy to mount and securely held the spare tire in place. I was able to find a mounting position far enough aft on the trailer so as not to increase tongue weight substantially. I would say this is a fair bracket for the price. I wouldn't mind paying a little more for it to be either galvanized, painted, or both.
Fit like a glove, made my repairs a piece of cake
The brackets on my trailer were too long and scraped on the ramp. Rather than cut them I thought it would be easier to replace with shorter brackets. The price of your product made this decision a no brainer.
received shipment earlier than expected. Product was just as described. Used to replace the bolster brackets on my boat trailer which salt water had corroded over time. I would recommend etrailer to others.
Patrick, my transaction with etrailer was outstanding. The delivery was fast, the order was exactly as stated and the attention given by your personnel great. I wish all online orders were efficient as etrailer"s.
Quality material, and quick arrival from order date.
Customer service quite helpful.
If you want quality, and savings this is the place.
Only down is could not obtain answer on load capacity on bolster brackets, but seems to be same industry wide.
Would be great to know this for both 7 & 11 gauge.
I am a repeat buyer I repair boats and some times get into the trailers I always go to e trailer there fast and always have what I want
Awesome, solid very adjustable mounting brackets. Very good galvanized coating as well. Very quick delivery from etrailer!
This bolster bracket did the job well on my trailer
Great product. Exactly what I needed to rebuild my bunk hardware.
Sturdy and nice product
This replacement part is heavier than the original. VERY HAPPY! Sales people very patient and efficient. Arived as promised.
These brackets will allow me to lower the bunks on my trailer. Seem more than adequate for my 1100 pound boat. Highly recommend.
Awesome support while ordering the parts. Everything fit perfectly. Shipping was very fast.
Brackets were easy to install, and built solid.
Fast and efficient.....
Great items, thanks
1 year after purchase, this part is still holding up well! I am impressed that there is no sign of corrosion. I've used my boat a lot too!
5 Stars after one year. I used my boat quite a bit last summer and no corrosion from these.
