This rust-resistant bolster bracket attaches to your boat trailer's frame with 2 U-bolts (sold separately) to ensure a sturdy connection to the trailer. Slotted mounting holes allow for height adjustment. Swivel bracket sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Bolster brackets are typically mounted upright on a boat trailer's crossmembers. When used with a swivel bracket (sold separately), they allow a mounted bunk board, which is run from the front of the trailer to the back, to pivot while you are loading a boat. On kayak trailers, these brackets are mounted to the trailer's frame and support bunk boards that run across the trailer.
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at the CE Smith Galvanized Steel Double U-Bolt Bolster Bracket. Now, bolster brackets are typically mounted upright on a boat's trailer's crossmembers, and when used with a swivel bracket, they allow a mounted bunk board, which is run from the front of the trailer to the back to pivot while you are loading a boat. On kayak trailers, these brackets are mounted to the trailer's frame and support bunk boards that run across the trailer. This rust-resistant bolster bracket attaches to your boat's trailer frame with two U-bolts to ensure a sturdy connection to your trailer frame to support your bunk board, and two brackets are required per bunk board, and the mounting slots that you see here are going to permit as much as three inches of height adjustment during the installation. Now, this is made in the USA of 7-Gauge galvanized steel that will resist rust and corrosion. Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped, so this creates a coating that is typically three millimeters to five millimeters thick, and this thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding, so this is gonna be suitable for saltwater exposure.
Now, you will receive one bracket, and let me give you some overall dimensions. The overall height of this bracket, at the tallest point here, we're sitting right at 9 3/4 inches tall, and the overall width, we're sitting right at four inches wide, and then looking at these mounting slots right here, I mentioned that they we're three inches long, so let me confirm that with you, and yeah, we're sitting right at three inches on those mounting slots. And then the horizontal spacing in between these slots, we're sitting right at an inch and a quarter in between those mounting slots, and then the vertical spacing between those slots, we're sitting right at half an inch in between them. Now, the swivel bracket mounting hole is a half inch in diameter, and please check out our website if you need U-bolts, swivel brackets, or bunk boards, we have a variety of options for you to choose from on our website here at etrailer.com. But I think that's going to conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you.
Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..
Best damn people ever...... really smart too
There was a bit of a delay in receiving these because of a back order issue, the wait was well worth it. These bolster brackets are 1/4" galvanized steel and I'm convinced they could support a Sherman Tank. If you want to do it right, I would highly recommend this product - including the bunk brackets.
Heavy duty. Just as described.
Parts received appear to be of good quality and built heavy duty
Great product quality, and customer ser vice.
very heavy duty. Perfect for a little heavier boat.
Very heavy duty, just what I was looking for.
could not find this product locally , etrailer had the item in stock at a great price .
Great Customer Service. Quality products that always meet my expectations.
Thank You!
Exactly what I needed to rebuild my boat trailer
I needed these to support my boat lift frame on my boathouse. They are much heavier than I thought they would be, so I'm sure they will work fine. Even got a quick delivery time considering all the delays due to the Corona virus.
The 8 3/4 " galvinized U-bolt bracket was the only size that would fit in the position on the trailer. I could not find this size any where locally. E trailer solved the prolbem and saved me time looking around.
Haven't installed the product yet but it looks to be of very good quality.
I will say that I searched for the product on other sites and in local parts stores and etrailer's prices were the best. Also, their customer service is exemplary; friendly and helpful, and there return policy is superb!
I had to modify our boat lift for a new, larger boat. This required raising the front of the bunks and moving them farther apart.
The previous brackets tended to angle outward due to the dead rise in the bow. Pictures show how I added a welded support to prevent this. So I ordered these double U bolt supports to prevent this problem.They work great. And I lucked out. I thought I'd have to shorten these brackets, but they gave me the exact height, and even rest on the lift's structure for better support.
Came on time. Looks good.
Bolster brackets are great. Solid, thick steel and installation was a breeze. Etrailer got them to me very quickly, and no BS. What else is there to say
Work great replaced rusted ones on my trailer. Added zinc anodes to the new ones and I am still rust free.
Perfect as always
very good quality; heavy built. i was concerned when i ordered these if they would be as heavy duty as the old ones i was replacing; i wasn't dissapointed.... thanks
The brackets were nice and heavy with good galvanize, I am satisfied with them.
