• How To Install Rollers On a Pontoon Boat
  It sounds like you are trying to bring the boat down closer to the trailer frame. I have personally not seen many setups that involve using keel rollers like the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10455G with a pontoon boat but if you have an idea in mind we do have these in various sizes. That said, I think the best option we can offer you to add a roller would be with the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks part # DL21741 and the CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon...

Looks like there's two crossmembers so a total of 4 brackets would be what you'd need to add an additional two bunks. I attached a review video for these for you to check out as well.

• Recommended Bunk Brackets for Zodiac Inflatable Pontoon Boat Trailer
  The CE Smith Bolster Bracket # CE10052-32G features a span of just barely over 15 inches so it might be a bit small to comfortably support the 16 inch tubes on your Zodiac Inflatable Boat. You will likely be better off using a set of standard brackets like the CE Smith # CE10196G-4 that feature a swiveling design to let you tilt the bunk boards at an angle for the pontoon. For the bunk boards themselves you can use the CE Smith Carpeted Boards that are available in lengths of 7 feet #...

• How Wide is the CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE10052-32G
  I went out to the warehouse and pulled a CE Smith Bolster Bracket # CE10052-32G to measure it. The actual width, not the span, is approximately 2 inches. It is actually just a hair under 2 inches but each one could be slightly different because of the galvanization process.

• How Many Bolster Bracket Supports Do I Need For A 20 Foot Pontoon Boat Trailer
  The number of bolster brackets varies between 4 and 5 on each side for a 20 foot pontoon trailer. I suggest 10 of the CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel - Qty 1, # CE10052-32G. For your bunk boards, I recommend the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting - Black - 18' Long x 18" Wide, # CE11349. This will give your trailer a soft landing for your pontoon and minimize scratches. It will resist mold and mildew and dries quickly.

• Why Does the CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers Not Have A Weight Capacity
  The CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE10052-32G does not have a listed weight capacity per the manufacturer. The reason for this is because the weight of most pontoon boats is pretty standard so I don't believe you will have an issue. If you need some sort of metric to gauge capacity, the bracket is made of 3/8" thick steel. I took a look at the reviews and there were almost no mentions of weight being a factor. The more you use however, the more support you will have.

• How Would CE Smith Pontoon Boat Bolster Brackets Attach to Trailer Crossmember
  If the # CE10052-32G was going to get attached to a trailer cross member you would want to bolt it through the cross member since the bolt holes wouldn't line up properly with a u-bolt. Since the install holes go left to right on the bracket the bracket couldn't align properly on a cross member. It would be turned 90 degrees from where it would need to face.

• Can Pontoon Boat Trailer Bunk Boards be Attached Directly to Trailer Frame at One End w/o a Bracket
  I understand. It took me a minute but after I went out and looked at a pontoon boat trailer we have outside it does make sense. So at one end of the bunk board you want to attach it directly to where a bracket such as # CE10052-32G normally would attach instead of using a bracket at that end. You can do that provided that the final position of the bunk boards are lined up properly to cradle the pontoons on the boat. It seems like it might be off a little if you did it that way but at...

• Can CE Smith Bolster for Pontoon Boats Be Used with 1987 JC Tritoon Boat
  Since your pontoon boat has three pontoons to spread the weight of the boat over you can use the # CE10052-32G for the bunks for them. I'd go with at least 4 bracket per pontoon, but more if you want to be cautious. One bolt through the boards to the bracket would be all you'd need.
