Rust-resistant assemblies let you install 2 bunk boards on your boat trailer. Swivel brackets enable bunks to tilt when loading a boat. Mounting slots allow for height adjustment. Dimpled surfaces keep brackets from sliding along the trailer frame.Good brackets, well built, thick metal with excellent galvanized coating on them. A quality product and installation is straight forward. Thumbs up!
So far so good. The brackets are working fine so far. Haven't put the trailer on the road yet, but the boat requires bunkers to have a curve or bow in them. The middle brackets stand the torsion as well as the weight of the boat. Easy to install as well.
I got these bolsters to convert an old jet ski trailer frame to carry my large fishing kayak. They worked great. CE Smith is a great brand name for trailer parts. eTrailer shipped quickly although USPS tracking sure wasn’t up to par. eTrailer is dependable and has great support with videos and info.
First off, I want to say that the products that I ordered from etrailer.com were of high quality and were easy to install, and lets not forget about the fast shipping and my favorite - the personal touch added to the email communications where each one is signed by a human (rather than something generic).
My project itself entailed replacing the two (original) vertical mount 4' bunks on my boat trailer (see the attached pictures). These were set-up to hold a 15' sailboat. I recently purchased a 12' (plastic) jon boat, and I felt that the jon boat needed better support on the trailer so that it didn't warp or dent.
After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with two horizontal mount 6' bunks. They were pre-finished at a cost less than if I were to purchase the individual components (wood, glue, carpet, staples, etc.) and do the assembly work myself. Attaching the hardware and mounting them to the trailer was a snap - see the attached pictures for the finished setup.
Great product with exact measurements. Thank you to everyone involved with this shipment.
I took a fishing trip to Quebec Canada and had to travel 115 kilometers on a dirt rd resulting 5 of my original bunk brackets cracking. The lodge personnel welded them so we could get home. Replaced them with your brackets that are a lot stronger and easy to install. Looking forward to next trip
Parts worked great, made rebuilding my boat trailer a breeze.
I took my existing utility trailer that I bought at the local supply store and converted it to a boat trailer for my new RIB for a couple hundred dollars. It saved me well over a thousand dollars and works great.
These are actually for wood bunks, not the roller bunks which I bought. Had to drill another centered hole in top. Not hard though.
Bunk brackets mated perfectly to the trailer frame, wide range of adjustments both height wise and angle of the bunks.
Great parts and service as usual. Thanks Lori !
Parts arrived a day early and I got it done in short order. The boat is much happier on its new support and bunk parts...
I'm not a trailer person but I found "etrailer's" website informative enough to know what I needed. I also had the benefit of an etrailer staff member who knew his products and thus able to make sure I bought the correct pieces. The plus was when the items arrived much sooner than the shipping time they quoted. I have not yet installed the items but hope to do it this week. Excellent source to buy quality trailer parts.

Fine - everything still in one piece
Great product, super fast delivery!!!
Everything is great (5-star). However, I must return the roller bracket for a refund, as the mounting holes do not match up with my trailer.
Prompt delivery, easy installation, worked out great. Thank you.
These brackets worked perfectly to help me convert my boat trailer to a roller bed system allowing for much easier launching of my boat.

Sorry to respond so late. Good service, good product. Thanks
this has happened again. I can't rate a product that should last years the minute it gets in my hand. The pieces LOOK good. The shipping was timely and the price was fair none of which tells me or you how good the product IS. Get back after two years of dunking in fresh and salt water and I'll give an honest review.

so far so good. After a year of dunking in fresh and salt water there is no sign of rust and no cracks in the material. Im pleased and a little surprised they held up so far given the poor quality of a lot of galvanized pieces nowadays. If they hold up this good after two years they have my wholehearted endorsement, for what thats worth.
In my opinion The holes in the brackets that attach to the bunk boards are, when bracket is centered on the boards, approximately 3/8” from the edge of the board. Whether lag screw or bolting leaves very little room for strength.
Further, there was no bolts or lag screws provided.
Otherwise a nice product.
I'm gathering parts for a complete boat trailer redo. Most of my parts are coming from etrailer.com. They have what I need, the price is right, the site is easy to shop and they ship promptly. Oh, and as I recently found out, customer service is quick to straighten things out when something is not right.
Great mounts ... heavy duty ... Worth the money ??
Good hardware, straight forward installation, no problems for the last year...

Thank you for your interest… The parts I purchased are still in good service. I shall shop there again….
I installed them on my boat trailer about a year ago and they are still looking good. I use the trailer mostly in saltwater so I’m happy that they are holding up well.

Dimpled surfaces keep brackets from sliding along the trailer frame.New bunk risers are in as is the new bunk and carpet. The reminder here is to check the bolts securing the bunks. The bunks came loose out at the Colorado river north of Yuma so had to jimmy rig the boat to the trailer on the way home to San Diego. Oh, and it was well over 100 degrees on the way home. No bueno! Everything good to go now.

Still going strong!
Bought a used trailer that did not match my boat's hull. Ordered this hardware and new 6' bunks, cut off original "fixed" mounts and bunks and installed these adjustable ones. Carefully lifting a 4500# boat and working under it and the trailer and other than some parts hard to reach, job went as planned.
I am happy with the results.
I have always been happy with all my experiences with etrailer.
Thx

Product worked as expected and could not be happier.
They have worked well for my application. I added a center toon to my boat. Needed a good way to support it on the trailer.

It works as it should. I bought a different trailer and it transfered to it like it was made for it.
Three of the four brackets work great. One continues to slide down which allows the boat to rest on the fender. I've retorqued the bolts 3x and it still slides. down. Otherwise, great.
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!
Turned a driftboat trailer into a driftboat/raft/pontoon boat trailer in less than 30 minutes! easy to take off and on and no welding required.
I like your products and have built a few interesting trailers from them. This one is for an inflatable catamaran from Dux Boats, and I have the whole boat resting in bunks such that the pontoons are suspended and do not touch anything. I built another one which allows you to carry a hobie 16 and a laser on the same trailer, and independently take them off.
Keep up the good work!

I was originally looking for material, glue and staples to re upholster the bunks on my boat trailer. I found new bunks complete and ready to go on your web site. I came to my senses and bought them. To make the job easier and nicer I also bought new bolster swivel brackets. It was much easier to set the new bunks next to the old
ones and mount the new hardware. You have two great products, I would highly recommend both.
I had been looking for these locally and hadn't been able to find them, so i was very happy to find a complete set at such a good price! And they arrived at the early side of on time and they are very well made and exactly what I needed. I will be using etrailer again in the future, Thanks again and Good Job!

The bunk brackets I bought are working out great! In hind sight I do wish I had bought the U bolt set for them at the same time but otherwise theyve been a good purchase!
Strong, heavily plated and simply designed bracket. Final adjustments were made with a two pound hammer to cant them a little. They did not bend during the process, good hard steel. No disappointments here.

No rust and no fatigue cracks. These brackets are industrial strength, not cheap junk.
Haven't installed the items yet, but they seem of good quality & are exactly what I need & what I expected. Shipping was quite fast & communication excellent! Should the need arise, I'll do business with etrailer again.

No problems encountered in a years time
Everything came in as advertised. Purchased CE Smith bolsters, u-brackets, lag screws and carpet. Added two bunk boards to my Lowe trailer (Karavan). Only had two boards and I wanted extra to support the weight of the boat. Everything assembled easily. My boat loads easier and trailers better. Plus I have the piece of mind of having 4 boards vs 2.
Used these on a trailer I was setting up for a deck boat. Worked pretty well. The "L" brackets on top could be a bit stronger. They bent a bit putting the boat on the trailer. Since I had extra, my solution was to weld 2 back to back. I would buy again.
Great selection. Fast shipping. Made my trailer conversion from rollers to bunks. etailer.com made it fast and simple. Just measure up you needs, go on-line and you're set. Three days later you have all the parts you needed.
Good product-basic bunk bracket. Bought the extra length ones as i wasn't sure how high i needed to put the bunks to get our jetski up high enough on a trailer i rebuilt. Look to be good quality.
Good sturdy bracket, easy to install.

Works just fine, hasnt deteriorated.
our roller supports we purchased for the boat trailer work great. If we need any thing else for the trailer we will be sure to let you know. If anyone ask... we will tell them to look you up....
Nice and strong . They function perfect to hold my two stand up Jetski's on my trailer.
They fit the roller bunks I installed and the boat now loads easier.
Easy to pick out what I wanted,
Got here quick. I can't complain
The tracking system could be better though
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.
The order arrived later than I expected. When choosing what I thought was overnight delivery which prevented me from getting the trailer back to the customer on time. However the product was just what I expected and the trailer is back in use.
Works well to hold trailer bunks
Etrailer has done it agian they have gave me a great product at an awsome price you guys have a lifetime customer as always im very happy with my purchase thank you
Fast delivery and good product! I plan to change a roller trailer to a bunk trailer.
