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!

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.

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

Good quality product. Unfortunately, I need a shorter u-bolt length to fit the frame on my trailer, so will be returning.
by: Eric05/29/2016
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: Cumi06/02/2016
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: Cal03/31/2022
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: Emile06/07/2023
Exactly what I needed. Easy checkout and Very fast shipping.
by: Kevin03/15/2022
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: Joanie06/30/2018
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: John S10/17/2014
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: Lawrence Thurier06/28/2016
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: Chip P07/10/2019
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: Gene B.07/29/2017
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: Pete R04/06/2016
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: Martin01/13/2020
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: 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.

- 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... - How To Install The CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers # CE27710If you have adjustable brackets for the bunk boards then you could lower them down and mount the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers # CE27710 directly to them. If you don't have adjustable brackets then you would need to remove the bunk boards and install new brackets like the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies for Roller Bunks # CE10003G-4. These brackets can be attached to the frame of the trailer with U-bolts like the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. You'll want to measure...

- Replacement Bunk Boards and Brackets Needed for 1997 Esco Boat TrailerTypically 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. Once you look at what is on your trailer you can either filter through the linked selection of boat trailer parts for...
view full answer... - Which Replacement Bunk Brackets For Boat TrailerIf 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. If you have a lighter boat and would rather have the bunk brackets that allow you to angle the bunk...
view full answer... - Brackets for Adding Additional Bunk Boards to Magic Tilt Galvanized Kayak TrailerThe 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.
view full answer... - Can I Install CE Smith Bolster Swivel Brackets On L Shaped Open Cross MemberThe CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket part # CE10001G-4 attaches to the boat trailer frame with U-bolts. The brackets are designed to install on the inside of the cross member where the bunk boards would be on the frame. I recommend to use U-bolts part # CE15283GA-4 to install the brackets on the 3 inch channel cross member. I have attached a photo of what the install looks like on a trailer like yours.

- Recommended Bunk Boards and Brackets for Boat TrailerFor your Calkins trailer, I recommend using the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 6' Long - 1 Pair # CE27840. These bunk boards will install with the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10001G-4 as well as CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4.

- How Do CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets CE26233-34GA Get Installed?You are correct. You will want to mount the longer 95 degree bracket of the CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets - 85 and 95 Degree Set # CE26233-34GA on the lower section of the angled crossmember on your boat trailer, and the 85 degree bracket on the higher section of the crossmember. 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"...
view full answer... - Recommended Placement of Bunk Boards on Bayliner Capri 1950After completing a very thorough image search online, it appears that the most common bunk placement is about 2/3 of the way between the keel and the ridge that runs along the side of the hull. Rather than on end, most of the bunks I saw had the board meeting the hull on the flat. This disperses more of the weight of the boat along the bunk. The # CE27820 bunk boards you mentioned would be perfect. I'd also recommend using # CE10001G-4 bunk brackets and # CE15283GA-4 Galvanized u-bolts.
view full answer... - What is Needed to Mount Roller Bunks in Boat TrailerYou'll just need brackets in order to mount the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers - 4' Long # CE27700 and 5' Long # CE27710. Use the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies for Roller Bunks # CE10003G-4 with CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Replace 12 x 2-1/2 Inch Rollers on Boat TrailerYou 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,...

view full answer... - Installation Of Roller Bunks On Karavan Boat TrailerIf the brackets don't allow enough swivel to allow the roller bunks to fit flush on the boat, I recommend replacing the brackets with bolster brackets that will allow enough swivel like the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 9" - Qty 4 # CE10000G-4. This bracket can be installed with CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter - Qty 4 # CE15283GA-4. You will want the proper fit for best load support and function.

The bunks are only 4-1/2' wide so you will have about 6" overhang on each side of the trailer. You will just want to move the winch mount forward until it is in the correct location for you to...

The # HP55FR is the portion that would attach directly to the bunk which would attach to the # CE10101G bolster bracket would would attach to the trailer itself. When the bolster and swivel are assembled, they'd look like part # CE10001G. To be honest, I'd recommend simply going with the # CE10001G as the hardware to assemble them is included that way. The angle of the swivel bracket is adjustable. The galvanized u-bolts for attaching the bolster brackets...

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....

It also features the EZ-Latch coupler mechanism for a simple hookup and a 120-hour salt spray rating. Your trailer came with galvanized 10" free backing brake assemblies.
