Specs:
Bolster-and-swivel-bracket assemblies are typically mounted upright on a boat trailer's crossmembers. They allow a mounted roller bunk, which runs from the front of the trailer to the back, to tilt to accommodate and support boat hulls of different sizes.
Galvanized Steel
Steel parts are galvanized by being hot-dipped in zinc after they have been 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.

Today we're going to take a look at the CE Smith bolster bunk bracket, part number CE10003G. The bracket is stamped and galvanized, giving it a 3 to 5 millimeter coating. This makes it applicable, even in salt water, to resist rust and corrosion. On the side that faces the trailer, it's dimpled, so that it will grip the steel of the trailer, and doesn't slide or shift around. The top bracket will swivel, allowing the roller bunk to conform to the boat's hull. Another really nice feature, it only takes one u-bolt to secure it to your boat trailer. The overall height of our bracket is 11 inches. The adjustability is 10 inches, and it's 2 and a half inches wide.
This is a heavy duty bracket made of 11 gauge galvanized steel, making it perfect for your boat trailer application. Now, let's go ahead and show you how to install it. To begin our install, we're going to remove the old or manufacturer's boards and brackets. Since we're removing the bunk boards and brackets, we're just going to take the u-bolts off the frame. Quick tech tip, before you remove your boards, take a tape measure, and get the height of our board. That way, when you install your new brackets and rollers, you can set it back to the same height. Now, as we have our boards loose, we'll go ahead and just take them off the trailer and set them aside, as they will not be reinstalled. Next, we're going to install the new CE Smith bracket.
Our bracket will replace the old or manufacturer's bracket that we removed. Now, to secure our bracket to the frame, we're going to use the CE Smith u-bolt, part number CE15283GA. The u-bolt will go around the frame, into the bracket, and then get secured with a split-lock washer and nut. Let's go ahead and put it in place now. Now, as we install our fasteners, we're just going to install them finger tight this time. Keep in mind, when you tighten down your u-bolt, to make sure you tighten down both sides evenly. Once we have our bracket installed, we'll go ahead and tighten it down. All right, now here on our rear support, or rear portion of our frame, we're going to go head and install our bracket and u-bolt.
Our bracket and u-bolt are going to sit in the exact same position as the old or manufacturer's bracket. Then, again, to secure it, we'll use a split-lock washer, and hex nut on each side of our u-bolt. Remember when tightening down your u-bolt, make sure you tighten down both sides evenly. Now, we'll go ahead and repeat the same process for the remaining brackets. Now go ahead and take the roller ball, set it onto our brackets, and secure the bunk to the brackets. Now, when securing your bunk to the brackets, the hardware's not supplied.
I'm going to use a bolt and flat washer. It's going to go down through the roller bunk, then through the bracket. Underneath, I'm going to add another washer and a nylon lock nut. Now, once we have all our hardware in place, we can tighten it down. There you have it for part number CE 10003G. The CE Smith bolster bunk bracket.
