Parts Needed To Convert Boat Trailer From Roller Bunks To Bunk Boards
Question:
I am interested in converting my boat roller trailer into a bunk trailer. Is there any guidance on this conversion? I see you have the parts. I tow often to Canada and I think my aluminum boat would ride better. Thank you.

Although we don't have an actual guide, switching from roller bunks to bunk boards on your boat trailer is fairly straightforward. For the most part, you will just be replacing the rollers with the boards. You can use bunk boards like the # CE27820. You will also need brackets # CE10001G-4 and U-bolts # CE15283GA-4 to mount the boards.
I'm not entirely sure what your setup is, so I went ahead and included a link to all of our bunk boards at the bottom if you need a different length. I would choose the same length as your bunk rollers. I also added some review and installation videos for your reference.
