CE Smith Tie-Down Bracket for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel - Bolt On - Qty 1

This is going to replace the eyebolts that are currently screwed into the carpet/wood bunks. The eye bolts, that were on the trailer when I purchased the boat, are all rusted now from the saltwater and I no longer trust them to securely hold the boat transom to the trailer. Since the small holes on the tie-down brackets are 1/2", I'm going to install them at the bunk supports (which are also 1/2" U-bolts). Only have to un-bolt the rear side of each U-bolt and add the tie-down bracket and re-bolt the bunk support.1340289

Still going strong and looking good after a years worth of saltwater ramp activity. The old eye bolts actually broke apart when i extracted them. What a simple, inexpensive solution these C E Smith tie-downs turned out to be.

Exactly what I needed! etrailer's service was prompt and hassle free!1520409

The part arrived promptly and was exactly what I ordered. I was able to install it quickly and now my cross-boat transom strap holds tight.1325749

This item is still going strong a year after I installed it. It looks just like the day I installed it on the trailer. Very happy with the purchase.

One of two parts has the galvanizing flaking off. Wasn't planning on prime and paint but now I have to.1590549

New out of the box my galvanized plating is chipped.1609713

These hold down brackets are well made with no sharp edges, and heavily galvanized. For some reason my boat trailer came without a bracket to tie down the boat transom to the trailer, these should do the job nicely. 94213

No problems then or now, should outlast the trailer.

Exactly as described. Used a T-Nut on the top of the bunk with a bolt through the tie down bracket up through the bottom of the bunk. 185258

Still working great.

Expensive, but very well built, larger than I expected, galvanized, and better than anything I could build on my own. When you consider the time to go to the store, buy material, and make it yourself, this is a bargain.1067250

Great! Best purchase for my tie downs

6 wks. ago I started on a refurbishing project off a 1988 Holsclaw boat trailer. I stripped all the paint off, ground and sanded the rust, primed and painted everything, replaced ALL the fasteners with stainless stell and some galvanized. I ordered several things from etrailer.com . Everything I ordered was to exact specifications and the shipping was on-time, everytime. I ordered several bearing items to repack the hubs, this coupler and nifty lifting handle, transom tie down brackets, spare tire carrier and 3 new 570x80 tires mounted on galvanized rims and the company installed stems, free of charge! I love the way this project came out and I've thoroughly enjoyed shopping @ etrailer.com! Thank you!638970

Perfect anchor point for tying down your boat or anything else. Use the proper length 1/2 inch bolt and it is very strong. Just the right angle to get a tie down hook in it. Very happy with this item.651353

Still looking like new, no rust. Very strong.

Fast shipping was great 1664164

I have a 25' center console with twin 150 outboards on jackplates. When I added trim tabs, it left a very narrow opening for a tie-down strap for the stern, and there was nothing on the trailer in that spot.

My boat is about 6,000 lbs, and I used 2 of the brackets for each side (4 total) with Grade 8 bolts and washers.

It was easy to install, well made, and well priced. 136305

Really heavy bracket. Will be used for a bow tie down point on a boat trailer. Price was less than 1/2 of that wanted at local marine shops.481482

Its been a great addition to my trailer and continues to work exactly as planned.

I needed to modify my tie down points on my boat trailer to allow the straps to clear the trim tabs. These brackets were perfect for my application and worked out great. The prices and availability at retailer are what keeps me purchasing from them.650695

Very pleased with the personnel and product. Great people to work with and I will use this company again.1614482

Have not had time to install yet, but was as advertised.1634809
