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.

Great solution. I used these to attach two 3” pvc bunks to my trailer. They work perfectly. I made some slight adjustments after the first month.
Good quality. No way of knowing how it will last, but looks like it will.
Have not done anything yet but everything looks like it work just great
Right design and length for replacing my rusted out bunker brackets.
Got exactly what I ordered and timely. Apprciated the video for installment and understanding of the product.
Typical good quality CE Smith product. Installation was easy on these bunk supports. Highly recommended versus value or non-name branded trailer supplies. The quality is worth the couple of extra bucks.
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!
Cant believe it didnt come with nuts n bolts!

It does come with the hardware to attach the swivel bracket to the bolster bracket. Are you missing this hardware?
I was a little taken back because I thought this would come with all nuts and bolts I needed. When I bought the roller bunks they did not state at the time the brackets were not part of it. That was ok so I ordered the brackets and now I have to go find nuts and bolts to fasten the bunks
Well constructed product and worked perfectly for mounting the roller bunks!
I RECIVED MY ROLLER BUNKS AND BRACKETS FAST. WELL PLEASED WITH THE QUALTY OF THE PRODUCT.CANT WATE TO INSTALL THEM AND TRY THEY OUT.THANKS FOR THE FAST DELIVERY.
Everything worked perfectly. However offering the U bolts and a bolt kit at a good price would be nice in order to save a separate trip to the hardware store
Great products, great price and fast delivery. I have recommended etrailer to several friends.
Excellent transaction…. Product (just wish it came with the mounting bolts/nuts), price, shipping
Adam was very helpful on a return, and made sure I had the correct parts.
