Video Transcript for Review of CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts - Galvanized Steel Double U Bolt Bolster Bracket - CE10192GA

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 cross members. 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 using two U-bolts to ensure a sturdy connection to your trailer frame to support your bunk board. Two brackets are required per bunk board and the mounting slots permit as much as 3 inches of height adjustment during installation.

And this is made in the USA of seven-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 3 millimeters to 5 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 salt water exposure. So you are going to get one bracket. Let me pull out my ruler here just to give you some overall measurements.

The overall length, we are gonna be sitting right at 11 3/4 inches tall, and I should have said the overall height instead of the overall length, so 11 3/4 inches tall. Looking at the width, we are sitting right at 4 inches wide. And on these mounting slots, I mentioned that you have 3 inches of adjustability. So let me confirm that here with you. So as you can see, we're sitting at 3 inches and that's gonna be the case for all of those mounting slots, and they are 1/2 an inch wide.

Let me move my fingers so you can see, 1/2 an inch wide. And then the horizontal spacing between these slots, in between each one, we're sitting right at about an inch and 1/4 in between those slots. And then looking at the vertical spacing, it looks like we're sitting right at 1/2 an inch between those slots and then the swivel bracket mounting hole diameter is gonna be 1/2 an inch.
