Expert Answers about Boat Dock Bumpers


  • Dock Bumper Compatibility w/ a Corner Bumper
  • Yes, the Jif Marine Dock Corner Bumper item # JIF87VR is compatible with the Jif Marine Dock Edging - P-Shape item # JIF56VR. They are both made of marine-grade flexible poly vinyl. I recommend securing the edging every 12" both on the top and bottom edges with stainless steel screws.

  • Inner Pontoon Boat Bunk Style Guide-Ons For Boat Trailer or Boat Lift
  • Yes, you can use the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-On Kit # CE27600K90 for the inside pontoons on your cradle lift. You will want to ensure that the uprights will not interfere with anything under your boat when on the lift. The uprights are 19-3/4" tall from the frame rail and have no pre drilled holes for the hardware. The included hardware will fit frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/2" tall. A Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416 will fit a frame up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall. Or CE Smith I-Beam Clamps...

  • Will TorkLift Space Dock Receiver Adapter Work With Any TorkLift Cargo Tray
  • The Space Dock 2" Receiver Adapter for TorkLift Palomino Landing Pad Bumper # TLA7900 has a 2" receiver but while the 24x27 TorkLift Lock and Load Maximum Security Cargo Tray # TLA7752 will technically fit, the Space Dock is only meant to be used with the smaller 16x21 TorkLift Lock and Load SideKick Cargo Tray # TLA7901 so I can't recommend using anything else.

  • Bumper for 2006 Ford E-350 Van
  • We do have bumpers that are a fit for your 2006 Ford E-350, though they are replacement bumpers, as opposed to dock bumpers. These replacement bumpers do have holes for trailer hitch balls like you want, and come with a mounting kit as well. The bumpers come in your choice of three colors, and I confirmed with the manufacturer these are a fit for your 2006 Ford E-350. - Silver Powder Coated Steel: Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper # 20105 - Black Powder Coated Steel: Westin Fey Diamondstep...

  • Will The Taylor Made Dock Pro Heavy Duty Bumper Mount To A 4x4 Post
  • The Taylor Made Dock Pro Heavy Duty Dock Bumper - Edge Mount - 35-1/2" Long - White Vinyl # 36945500 does measure 5" wide with the mounting holes being approximately 1/2" from the edge. There is a rounded divot from the 1" mark to the 4" mark so if mounting this vertically I would also use some sort of rope or a large zip tie to prevent the wind from catching the portion that overhangs your 4x4 post and pulling on the screws.

  • The Space Dock 2" Receiver Adapter for Torklift Palomino Landing Pad Bumper # TLA7900 is designed to be used with the Palomino Land Pad, so as long as you have this on your 2021 Palomino 2902 Camper then this'll work great.

  • Can the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch be Used on a Boat
  • I spoke with Go Power to see if this can work for you. They have not dealt with the Automatic Transfer Switch, part # 34264403, being installed on boats. They said that as long as it's in a dry area, it should be fine. The inverter also needs a bonded neutral. I've linked to a video review of this switch for you to look at.

  • Can the JIF Marine Floating Dock Lift Ladder Be Used on a Boat
  • You may be able to make the Jif Marine Floating Dock Lift Ladder - 5 Steps - 750 lbs - Aluminum - 4" Deep Step # JIF49FR work for your application but I cannot advise trimming the mounting brackets as those are designed to help counteract the weight put on the ladder; additionally cutting the brackets would void any warranty on the ladder as well. When it comes to the cables, those are designed to attach to the brackets and cannot be easily detached, but you might be able to devise an...

  • Is Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Compatible with Blue Sky Angler 360 and Highway Speeds?
  • The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 is compatible with any posted speed limit so you will be able to travel at 75 mph without issue. The Rack and Roll trailer is one of the best lightweight trailers I've seen. It has a quality craftsmanship and tracking that make it popular with customers. It is rated for up to 250 lbs, so you won't have any issue carrying your boat. I recommend also getting two sets of the Thule DockGrip Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs # TH895 to secure...

  • Fixed Coupler Options To Replace UFP A-60 Surge Couper For Boat Trailer
  • Your UFP surge actuator 34043 is a model A-60 actuator. This is designed for a 2" hitch ball and trailer weighing up to 7,500lbs. I have made a list of different bolt on couplers we carry below you can choose from to bolt in place of the actuator if you choose to remove it completely.

  • How to Install the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons on a Malone MicroSport Trailer
  • I have two options that will allow you to install the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers part # CE27620 on your Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG460G. The first option would be to install the guide posts in front of the wheels just before the a-frame of the trailer comes together. You can see this location in the attached photo. The other option I have for you would be to relocate the taillights. Once the taillights are removed (2 bolts), you can then install the guide...

  • Can 40 Inch Wide Kayak Fit on Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier
  • The max width kayak the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 can handle is 36". Since your kayak is 40" wide it will be too large for the Hullavator Pro. This is the case for the Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 as well (which is the Yakima equivalent to the Hullavator Pro). For your application you'll want more of a standard system like what we find with the Thule DockGlide # TH896. This comes with clamps or T-Slot hardware so you have a few different options for installation. The only down-side to this...

This carrier fits 4" wide, rear, box-style bumpers. This spare tire carrier swings down to allow quick, easy access to rear storage.

  • Can I Tow a Bass Boat With the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver on a 2016 Porsche Macan
  • As long as your 2016 Porsche Macan is not a GTS model, you can use the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH84FRT to tow your bass boat. You will need this version of the stealth hitch because the other model is just for bike racks or cargo carriers. Your 2016 Porsche Macan has a towing capacity of 4409 lbs and the stealth hitches have a 600 lb maximum tongue weight and 6000 lb maximum trailer weight. With your trailer and boat at 3200 lbs...

  • Will The Bumper Mount Receiver Fit a 2006 Honda Ridgeline For Towing a Jon Boat Trailer?
  • I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75280 on your 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Honda does not rate the rear bumper as being strong enough for towing so the Curt # E-3S bumper mount is not an option. This bumper mount was designed to used on trucks which have a mount for a tow ball and a bumper rated for towing. The Draw-Tite attaches to the frame rails as well as the rear of the bumper making sure it has a strong connection to the truck. The T-One Vehicle...

  • Will a Bike Rack Mounted on the etrailer Hitch # e98859 be Able to Clear My Rear Bumper on a 1994 YJ
  • Since the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98859 installs flush with the bumper of your 1994 Jeep YJ, you will not have any tire clearance issues as long as the shank length of the bike rack is longer than the distance between the center of the hitch's pinhole to the outside edge of your spare tire. With your boat trailer, you shouldn't have an issue unless you have a boat trailer with a boat winch attached to it. One creative way to measure whether you have enough shank length on...

  • Compatibility of Rear RV Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Prime Time Crusader Lite 28RL
  • Your 2017 Prime Time Crusader Lite 28RL trailer according to the manufacturer was not designed to accommodate the addition of a hitch to the rear bumper or frame. So they will not warranty the addition of the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 or the addition of a hitch like # C13701. You will need to weigh the risk when desiring to tow as most 5th wheel trailers and these hitch options would allow for that utility trailer with ATV towing or small aluminum boat. The hitches...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1987 Chevy C/K 1500 With a Deep Drop Bumper
  • A deep drop bumper is a bumper that hangs further below the frame than a standard bumper. Check out the photo that I attached showing a deep drop bumper compared to a standard bumper and a step bumper. We have three frame mount trailer hitches that will work with a deep drop bumper on your 1987 Chevrolet C/K 1500. You could install the Curt Hitch, # C13099 or the Draw-Tite Hitch, # 41504. These are all Class III trailer hitches that have a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight...

  • Hitch for 2005 Chevy 26 Foot Motor Home With 2 Inch Receiver to Launch and Haul a Boat
  • Yes, we offer several different bolt-on frame mounted hitches. There are several to choose from that are adjustable to fit many models of motor homes and can be adjusted to fit your chassis. The frame mounted hitch is recommended because you can adjust it to fit your motor home and is better for towing as opposed to the bumper receiver hitch, part # E-100 that you selected. You will want to check with the motor home manufacturer before using the # E-100 hitch to make sure the bumper is...

  • Will The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # 75600 Fit A 2013 BMW X5 35i
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75600 is compatible with your 2013 BMW X5 35i. Although you will not have to change or replace the rear bumper on your vehicle, you will have to temporarily remove the fascia in order to install the hitch as described in the installation instructions from the manufacturer. It will also require you to trim the bottom of the rear fascia about 6-8" for an exact fit. The rear bumper fascia can be removed by undoing the 6 screws located...
