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.

Review of CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts - Roller and Bunk Parts - CE10003G-4
Video Transcript for CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies Review
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.

- Recommended Roller Bunks For LoadRite PWC Trailer
- The CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers - 6 Rollers Each - 5' Long - 1,500 lbs - 1 Pair # CE27710 will work well for your LoadRite trailer. If you want the 4 foot option, you can use # CE27700.

- Upgrading the carpeted bunks on your CE Smith Boat Trailer to roller bunks like the CE Smith # CE27710 is a great way to upgrade the trailer. These will allow for much easier loading and launching of your boat and reduce the stress put on your hand winch during operation. These are 5 foot long bunks that will work perfectly to replace the 5 foot bunk boards on the trailer. You can use the Bunk Brackets # CE10003G-4 to mount them to the trailer.
It looks like the trailer is equipped with...

- 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.
view full answer... - Comparing Dutton-Lainson and CE Smith Roller Bunks
- There isn't a whole lot of difference between Dutton-Lainson roller bunks # DL21741 and CE Smith roller bunks # CE27710. Both have 5 foot long sections. Each section is rated for 1500 pounds. There are 6 rollers per section on both. Both are made with galvanized steel and heavy duty black rubber rollers.
The main difference besides price is the shape of the rollers is not exactly the same.
Either set can be mounted on a bunk or independently. To mount independently you would need...
view full answer... - Using Roller Bunks for PWC Ramp & Trailer
- Roller bunks like the 5-foot Dutton-Lainson # DL21755 and the other similar products shown on the linked page will work best when they are positioned on the trailer or ramp surface in such a way that allows the maximum contact between the watercraft's hull and the flat top surface of the rollers. The fuller and more even the contact the easier the rolling action will be.
On a PWC the hull can have many different profiles or shapes. These can include the common V and modified V, and the...

- Roller bunks like those shown on the linked page will work just as well on a 3-hull tritoon as on a pontoon boat.
If you intend to mount the rollers onto the flat surface of existing wooden/carpeted 2x4 bunk boards you will want to use a flat-bottom type roller like # DL21741, but we also have rollers like # DL21755 that have a channel that fits over the narrow side of a 2x4.
The flat-bottom type can also be directly mounted to bolster brackets like # CE10003G-4 as shown in the linked...

- I do have a solution for you, however the CE Smith Spool Roller Assembly # CE32100G aren't wide enough to safely support the boat keel of your 18 foot Norwegian Faering. I recommend something a bit wider like the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly # CE10453G with an 8 inch roller and mounting slots spaced 6 inches apart.
You will want to have one for each cross member on your boat trailer. The only other thing you will need are 1/2" or 7/16" fasteners. I have included a video review...
view full answer... - Roller Bunk Recommendation for a Boat Trailer with Wood Bunks
- The CE Smith Roller Bunks, # CE27700, that you referenced would be a great option for your boat trailer. These roller bunks are 4 ft long and they can be mounted directly on top of your current wood bunks. You can also use the CE Smith Mounting Brackets, # CE10003G-4, if you want to replace the wood bunks with the roller bunks.
Keep in mind, these bunks have a weight capacity of 1,500 lbs, but based on your photo, I do not think you will have much of an issue with that.
view full answer... - How To Choose the Correct Roller or Carpeted Bunk Boards for a Trailer
- The size of bunk board or bunk roller you will need for your boat trailer is based off the hull size. However, generally speaking the manufacturer knows what size roller/bunk works best for the boat/trailer. Therefore I recommend using the same size that the trailer came with but it wouldn't hurt to go a bit longer if you have room. If you are switching from rollers to carpeted bunk boards then I would go longer.
For the carpeted bunk board option we have part # CE27800 which are 36"...

- If you are looking to replace the bunks on your trailer with roller bunks, we have a few that may work for you.
For a 5 foot bunk I recommend the CE Smith Roller Bunks, part # CE27710. These are constructed of 12 gauge galvanized steel and are rust and corrosion resistant. Since you said you are needing them for salt water, we recommend rinsing them with fresh water to prolong the life of the rollers.
If you need a 4 foot version of these rollers I recommend part # CE27700.

- You have a couple of options for rollers on your Shorelander trailer. If you want to completely cover the 7 foot bunks you currently have, you can attach a 4 ft roller like part # CE27700, and cut another to cover the 7 ft board. If you do mount the roller bunks to the boards you currently have you will want to make sure your rollers for the bow are adjusted at the proper height to offer support for the boat when loaded. I have attached a link to our boat trailer parts.

- For the 10 foot long bunks you have two sets of the CE Smith roller bunks part # CE27700 would work well for you. These can be mounted directly to the wooden bunks you have already or you can remove them and install them with the brackets part # CE10003G-4.
The steel of these buns are galvanized which will do an excellent job preventing rust and corrosion. They would last longer than wood being constantly submerged.

- No, one 5 foot long section is not enough for the support of your boat unless you will be using a combination of rollers and bunk boards. The CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers - 6 Rollers Each - 5' Long - 1,500 lbs - 1 Pair # CE27710 will work well for your 18.5 foot bass boat if you use 2 roller sections on each side. You can see a similar install in the video review I've attached.
You can use two 4 foot long sections on each side and still support your boat well. For that...
view full answer... - Can I Remove the Keel Rollers and Add Bunk Rollers to a Boat Trailer for a Smoker Craft Boat
- I would be apprehensive about completely removing the keel rollers, especially if they support any weight. Removing the keel rollers would force the bunks to support more weight. This could be dangerous with the bouncing affect trailers and boats experience when towing. To make sure it is completely safe to remove the keel rollers without potentially damaging the boat, I recommend contacting Smoker Craft directly because they would be the best source to tell you if the hull of your boat...

- Sounds like your trailer has fixed carpet-covered 2x4s that support the hulls and you want to replace them with roller bunks.

These roller bunks are 4 ft long and they can be mounted directly on top of your current wood bunks. You can also use the CE Smith Mounting Brackets, # CE10003G-4, if you want to replace the wood bunks with the roller bunks. For 5 ft roller bunks use...

- Yes, can replace your current wooden bunks with a set of roller-bunks, like the CE Smith Roller Bunks # CE27710.
Upgrading to roller-bunks will improve the loading and unloading of your boat. The roller are made of a heavy-duty rubber that will not only absorb the shock when loading and unloading your boat, but the rubber roller will protect the hull of your boat from scratches.
CE Smith roller-bunks measure 5 feet long and will have 6 rollers installed on each bunk. The bunks have...

This recaps each of the necessary items, one of which you already have, the brake controller. You will need to ensure you controller has the option for EOH operation; not all trailer brake controllers work with EOH actuators. The article has links to all the required items.

view full answer... - What Size Mounting Hole is On Top of Roller Bunk Bracket CE10003G-4
- The hole in the top of the swivel bracket of the bunk bracket part # CE10003G-4 is 7/16 inch in diameter. You would need to go with a nut and bolt that matches that hole size the best when securing your roller bunk to it.
We don't have a specific size recommendation as applications can differ.

- Since the picture you submitted belongs to Karavan I can't post it here on our site, but if you check out the attached picture you can see how a very similar trailer had a set of rollers like the part # CE27710 installed.
For a set of swivel brackets like what you see in the picture that are holding the bunks you'd then want the part # CE10003G-4.
I also attached a couple install video links for you to check out as well.

These 4 foot long rollers are 4-3/4 inches wide x 2-1/2 inches diameter. I recommend using the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies for Roller Bunks - Galvanized Steel - Qty 4 # CE10003G-4 to support it. I would use extras for more support and better weight dispersion on your frame due to the size and weight of your boat. As long...

- I called my contact at CE Smith about the Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers, part # CE27700.
They said since you are planning on using 4 bunks instead of 2, the rollers would have no problem with the additional 500 lbs as you described, as long as the weight is distributed evenly on the roller bunks.
These roller bunks can be attached to wooden bunks or you may want to use swivel brackets like part # CE10003G-4.
