- CE Smith
This bolster bracket supports your pontoon boat trailer's bunks. Constructed of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel with a sturdy base, it helps you to properly align your 6" or 8" wide bunk boards on your trailer.
Features:
- Heavy-duty bracket mounts to your pontoon boat trailer's frame or crossmembers and allows you to mount 2 bunk boards
- Stabilizes bunk boards when 2 brackets are used (other bracket sold separately)
- Does not include mounting hardware
- Wide base provides a strong mounting platform
- Slotted mounting hole allows for adjustment during installation
- 1/8" Thick, galvanized steel construction is sturdy and resists corrosion
- Made in USA
Specs:
- Quantity: 1 bracket
- Application: 6" and 8" wide bunk boards
- Dimensions: 15-1/2" long x 3" wide x 6" tall
- Mounting slot dimensions: 7-1/2" long x 1/2" wide
This bracket holds two 2"x6" or 2"x8" bunk boards angled toward each other to provide support for one of the boat's pontoons. On both the right and left sides of the trailer, one bracket is mounted in the front and another in the rear. Carpeted bunk boards typically run from front to back.
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.

Im converting my v-hull trailer to a pontoon boat trailer. These bunk brackets are essential to the project. They are well built and are sdjustable enough to ensure a perfect fit
by: Allen C10/14/2016
Worked perfectly for my application. Had to widen an 8 foot wide trailer to accomodate a 8.5 wide boat.
Bolted 2x2 to top of existing frame and then bolted these bolsters to that. Bought 2x2 plastic end caps for the 2x2 and trailer looks like it Was made at the factory this way. Was cheaper than buying a new trailer.

The parts worked out perfectly for my pontoon
Thanks for supplying us with all our need, all parts i have ordered from etrailer.com are of top quality

Built my own trailer for my pontoon boat. These brackets are very sturdy and made it easy to fabricate bunks for the trailer.

Could not have built this pontoon trailer without these brackets. Just what the Dr ordered

I revamped a boat trailer into a pontoon trailer and these parts worked out great
by: Dan04/20/2018
Product is as stated, read past reviews and I am familiar with stamped brackets as far as having sharp edges, to protect yourself you should always wear gloves when handling steel.

We used this product to change out 2x4” runners to 2x6” for our pontoon trailer. This product works great for this application. I would say we are completely satisfied with this product
by: steve s.03/28/2017
This was my 1st purchase from etrailer and shopping with them has been great. I'm in the process of building a ramp to load and unload a 22' pontoon boat from water to shore to keep the toons looking good and for winter storage. I've made numerous phone calls with questions on different products to use and have received excellent help with professional guidance on this project.
So far I've gotten a winch, 6 sets of roller bunks and 12 galv. vee- brackets to support wooden bunks. All of this has arrived in a timely manner and the cost with free shipping is better then I could buy at any marine store. Some of these products aren't even stocked in this area. Will start construction on this soon and hope to post results when finished . Thanks to etrailer for their help.

I built my float on pontoon trailer using parts from e trailer.
Every part was top quality and these brackets were great.
Would recommend etrailer to anyone

I ordered these V brackets to convert an existing boat lift to accommodate a pontoon boat. Order arrived ahead of schedule and was exactly what I needed for a fair price. Can't ask for better than that!

No problems whatsoever.
by: Phillip R.01/09/2019
GREAT "V" BRACKET ! No problem supporting a heavy 28' tour boat pontoon. The trailer the brackets are mounted on is used in salt water and after a year there is still no sign of rust. Excellent product !
by: Bill N.09/24/2015
Perfect fit for my 9 foot Colorado XT inflatable pontoon boat. Mounted these brackets onto the plywood base of a Ironton 4' x 8' trailer. Used roller bunks on the brackets because I needed to push a second Colorado XT onto the back of my truck with the electric motor and battery still attached to the boat.
by: rick 12310/04/2017
Great product, much heavier then I thought they would be. That was a good thing.
Replaced old flat brackets for pontoon. It does make the boat sit a couple inches higher then what I replaced. I wen with 2x6 bunks and it worked out great.
I did have to drill out some of the holes for mounting due to sloppy finish work at mfg. But worth the trouble.
I would buy again.... but I hope I don't have to
by: Brian06/22/2018
I ordered 12 of these to create a cradle for my pontoon lift at the lake. they are PERFECT. Thick gauge galvanized steel for awesome support, and the angle is perfect for my 27 foot tri-toon. The slot for mounting gave me the ability to dial in my cradle and properly support my beast. If I were to need more I would definitely buy them from etrailer again because they have the best price and the delivery was ahead of their estimated arrival time. My guess is that I won't need to because of the quality though.

I have never been more impressed with the company that is shipping from the states and can get a product to me in under a week in Canada your follow up was excellent and the product was first class thank you very much

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I ORDERED THIS TYPE OF BUNK BRACKET CE26244G I USUALLY BUY THE 3/8 " STEEL ONES ( over 40 of them so far ) AND THOUGHT I WOULD TRY THESE ADJUSTABLE TYPE . THE SHIPPING & DELIVERY WAS FAST AND ON TIME , AND THEY APPEAR TO BE A VERY GOOD USEFUL PRODUCT , HOWEVER THEY ARRIVED WITH REALLY SHARP FINGER POKING BRIAR LIKE METAL POINTS STICKING OUT AT VARIOUS POINTS ON OF ALL 8 0F THEM ." OUCH " I POKED MY FINGERS TWICE , SO I PUT ON GLOVES AND DEBURED THEM WHICH I THINK SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE SHIPPING THEM TO CUSTOMERS . I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FINGER POKERS BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SEND THEM VIA EMAIL .OTHER WISE I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THEM . I AM NOT GOING TO SUE UNLESS MY FINGER GETS INFECTED AND FALLS OFF (only kidding ) ETRAILER IS ONE GREAT PLACE TO GET MY ORDERS PROMPTLY AND I WILL ORDER AGAIN , AS I LIKE YOUR PRODUCTS AND FAST DELIVERY THANK YOU ! -- [ JOE ]

Having to redo totally my Pontoon boat trailer. I needed some advice, called in and spoke with an Engineer to narrow my options. Very helpful.
I was able to order parts and get them within one (1) week. Good job guys
by: Alan08/30/2018
Package arrived on schedule. I am very pleased with the bolster brackets and clamps. Heavy duty steel and good galvanizing, will work perfectly with the kayak trailer that I am currently fabricating. Price and value was excellent. Will forward images of product and project when completed.
by: Dan k07/08/2015
I purchased these Ving bolted brackets to replace rusted broken metal brackets on my pontoon trailer. They are simple to install and hold the boat exactly like a new trailer. Helped to sell the boat. Love em. My next project is my boat lift.
by: Tigger03/26/2020
Used them to convert my boat lift v-bottom bunks to a tri-toon setup. Size and condition of parts were exactly as advertised, and installation went as expected. One year later they're still looking and working great.
by: Elana04/24/2020
I have been buying trailer parts from etrailer for years and have always been completely satisfied. Great communication, service, shipping and extremely competitive prices. In contrast, over the last few months when I've had questions via email the etrailer staff just drops the conversation. I had follow up questions about parts and never received a reply. On one of those ocassions I bought from their competitor who cared enough to answer ALL of my questions. I also had somewhat of a surprise with my most recent order with shipping deliver dates and prices. I'll attribute these to the current times we are living in.

view full answer... - Can Roller Bunks Be Used On a Pontoon Boat Trailer? Yes, you can use Roller Bunks # CE27700 with a pontoon boat trailer. These come in 4' long sections that you can attach directly on top of the bunk boards or you can use the V-Wing Bolster Bracket # CE26244G if you are concerned with raising the height of the boat on the trailer as you already mentioned the shallow ramp. I do recommend using Roller Style Guide-Ons # CE27672 to help position the pontoon on the rollers when loading your pontoon boat.

Adding the support to the middle crossbar will also ensure you have the most support. These cradles are made of 1/8-inch thick galvanized steel and come with a slotted mounting hole so you can adjust it when installing. If you need marine-grade carpeting for your bunk boards I recommend...
view full answer... - V-Wing Bolster for Pontoon Boat That Can Hold 2x8 BunksThe CE Smith # CE26244G V-Wing Bolster bracket you'd looked at is the largest bracket of its type we offer.

The # CE26244G is designed for two 2"x6" or two 2"x8" bunk boards but does not included the mounting hardware so you will need to source it locally. I recommend using stainless steel hardware to keep it from rusting due to being in water. I included a video of the # CE26244G...

- Will the CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers Work with 25 TubesThe CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE10052-32G does not have a specific pontoon tube size requirement. That said, the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE26244G would likely be a better option for larger pontoon tubes since it allows for larger bunk boards and has a wider spread.

They also recommend a bracket be installed at each frame cross member for maximum support. The brackets are best when installed with a 2x6 or 2x8 carpeted bunk boards laid flat.

- Are CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket Pontoon Trailers # CE26244G Strong Enough for a Pontoon BoatYes, the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE26244G that you referenced would be a great option for bolster brackets for your pontoon boat trailer as that is exactly what this product was designed to do. The 1/8 inch galvanized steel construction of this bracket would make it strong enough for your pontoon.
view full answer... - What Size Board Does CE26244G Bunk Board Bracket FitYou probably could make 2x4 bunks work on the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket # CE26244G but ideally you are going to want to use the taller boards like a 2x6 or 2x8.

- Replacement V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon BoatWhat you sent in a picture of is a V-Wing bolster bracket like the # CE26244G that you referenced. These are slightly different from what you have that are 11 inches wide by 5 inches high. These are 15-1/2 inches wide by 6 inches tall which is pretty close. Also these are designed for 6 or 8 inch wide bunk boards. When you replace the boards you'll need to use either width and you'll be set. I attached a link to our return policy page also. We do not have anything like what's in your...

- Using Bunk Rollers For a Kayak Ramp I do not see any reason why the CE Smith Roller Bunks # CE27710 would not work for your kayak ramp. The frame has a thick 3-5mil galvanized coating that will provide years of protection without rusting or corroding. The heavy duty rubber rollers will not damage your kayak when it is slid up or down the ramp. You will want to make sure that you can secure these properly. The CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket # CE26244G may work to hold the rollers at the correct angle and width for your kayak.

When it comes to mounting hardware for these brackets, I recommend using a screw and washer like our 3/8 Inch Stainless Steel Hex Lag Screw, # FA74521, and Stainless Steel Washer, # FA0152661. I have attached a link to our U-bolts for boat trailers. Since the mounting slot on the V bracket would typically run parallel with the...

It is possible that a given trailer maker could offer such a kit made to convert one of their trailer models to another so it might be worth checking with the manufacturer. If nothing else this gives you the opportunity to ask safety-related questions about this idea. I suggest having the trailer's VIN handy...

You can select galvanized hardware that will fit at your mounting point. I linked our page for galvanized u-bolt kits. This bracket is not intended for 2 x 4 bunk boards; it works with 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 boards to support your boat's pontoons. For 2 x 4 bunks you can use kit # CE10001G-4.
