Installation Of Roller Bunks On Karavan Boat Trailer
Question:
Im purchasing a new Karavan Boat Bunk trailer and Im going to replace the OEM bunks with your CE Smith roller bunks already on order. My question is this If the brackets are mounted vertically but the bunks cannot swivel enough to fit flush on the boat, can the brackets be mounted on an angle to compensate?

Expert Reply:
If the brackets don't allow enough swivel to allow the roller bunks to fit flush on the boat, I recommend replacing the brackets with bolster brackets that will allow enough swivel like the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 9" - Qty 4 # CE10000G-4. This bracket can be installed with CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter - Qty 4 # CE15283GA-4. You will want the proper fit for best load support and function.
