Video Transcript for Review of CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts - Galvanized Steel Double U Bolt Bolster Bracket - CE10191GA

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at the CE Smith Galvanized Steel Double U-Bolt Bolster Bracket. Now, bolster brackets are typically mounted upright on a boat's trailer's crossmembers, and when used with a 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 attaches to your boat's trailer frame with two U-bolts to ensure a sturdy connection to your trailer frame to support your bunk board, and two brackets are required per bunk board, and the mounting slots that you see here are going to permit as much as three inches of height adjustment during the installation. Now, this is made in the USA of 7-Gauge galvanized steel that will resist rust and corrosion. Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped, so 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.

Now, you will receive one bracket, and let me give you some overall dimensions. The overall height of this bracket, at the tallest point here, we're sitting right at 9 3/4 inches tall, and the overall width, we're sitting right at four inches wide, and then looking at these mounting slots right here, I mentioned that they we're three inches long, so let me confirm that with you, and yeah, we're sitting right at three inches on those mounting slots. And then the horizontal spacing in between these slots, we're sitting right at an inch and a quarter in between those mounting slots, and then the vertical spacing between those slots, we're sitting right at half an inch in between them. Now, the swivel bracket mounting hole is a half inch in diameter, and please check out our website if you need U-bolts, swivel brackets, or bunk boards, we have a variety of options for you to choose from on our website here at etrailer.com. But I think that's going to conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you.

Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..
