Today we're going to be taking a look at part number CE26244G. This is the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers. The heavy-duty bracket is going to mount to your pontoon boat trailer's frame or cross member, and it's going to allow you to mount two bunk boards. This is going to stabilize the bunk boards when used with another bracket at the other end of the pontoon. The other bracket is sold separately, so this part number only comes with one bracket. It's going to help you to properly align your six inch or eight inch wide bunk boards on your trailer. It does not include mounting hardware so you will need to provide that as well. The wide base is going to provide a strong mounting platform.
You can see here that it's got a long seven and a half inch slotted mounting hole. That's going to allow for adjustment during installation . It's also got the mount holes up here, that way you can get the bunk board attached. Numerous mount holes on each side. One, two, three, four, five, on each side.
That way it can accommodate the different size boards. The Galvanized Steel is going to measure an eighth of an inch in thickness. Galvanized Steel construction, very strong and durable, as well as corrosion resistant. This product is made in the USA. Again this part number is going to include one bracket, and it's designed for six inch and eight inch wide bunk boards. To go over a few dimensions with you really quick starting with the overall length. Which is also going to be pretty close to the span that this offers.
That's going to be about fifteen and a half inches. The overall width measuring from the back of the bracket to the front of the bracket up here, that's going to give us a width or a depth of three inches. Then the overall height, from table top to the top of the bracket, it's going to measure about six inches tall. Mounting the slot dimensions for the long mounting side here, it's going to get mounted on to the trailer frame or cross member, that's going to be seven and a half inches long, it's going to measure a half an inch in width. Go head and take a measurement of the arm length measuring from the bottom of the V to the end of the arm, that's going to give us a measurement of about eight and a half inches. The other sides going to be identical.
When it comes to the sizing of these mount holes it's going to contain two larger holes and then three smaller holes. The larger holes are going to give us a measurement of about three eighths of an inch, the smaller holes are going to measure about a quarter of an inch. This bracket is going to hold two 2"x6" or 2"x8" Those are going to be your bunk board sizes. They're going to angle towards each other. That's going to provide support for one of the boats pontoons. On both the right and left sides of the trailer one bracket is mounted in the front and the other would be mounted at the rear. Then your carpeted bunk boards typically are going to run from front to back of the trailer. That's going to provide the support and the bunks for the pontoon on your pontoon boat. That's going to do it for today's review of part number CE26244G. This is the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers. .

GREAT "V" BRACKET ! No problem supporting a heavy 28' tour boat pontoon. The trailer the brackets are mounted on is used in salt water and after a year there is still no sign of rust. Excellent product ! 596174

This was my 1st purchase from etrailer and shopping with them has been great. I'm in the process of building a ramp to load and unload a 22' pontoon boat from water to shore to keep the toons looking good and for winter storage. I've made numerous phone calls with questions on different products to use and have received excellent help with professional guidance on this project. So far I've gotten a winch, 6 sets of roller bunks and 12 galv. vee- brackets to support wooden bunks. All of this has arrived in a timely manner and the cost with free shipping is better then I could buy at any marine store. Some of these products aren't even stocked in this area. Will start construction on this soon and hope to post results when finished . Thanks to etrailer for their help. 362316

I ordered 12 of these to create a cradle for my pontoon lift at the lake. they are PERFECT. Thick gauge galvanized steel for awesome support, and the angle is perfect for my 27 foot tri-toon. The slot for mounting gave me the ability to dial in my cradle and properly support my beast. If I were to need more I would definitely buy them from etrailer again because they have the best price and the delivery was ahead of their estimated arrival time. My guess is that I won't need to because of the quality though. 525300

Product is as stated, read past reviews and I am familiar with stamped brackets as far as having sharp edges, to protect yourself you should always wear gloves when handling steel. 498659

- How Many V-Wing Brackets Are Needed To Support A 28-ft Long Pontoon BoatI contacted the manufacturer and one V-Wing Bolster Bracket, Item # CE26244G, should be placed at each frame cross member. Mounting hardware for these brackets is not included so I recommend using a screw and washer like our 3/8 Inch Stainless Steel Hex Lag Screw, Item # FA74521, and Stainless Steel Washer, Item # FA0152661. I have attached a video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Can CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket be Used on Boat Lift The CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE26244G referenced in your question is designed for boat trailers but can be used on your boat lift. You will just need to supply the 6 inch or 8 inch wide bunk boards for use with these brackets. These bolster brackets are designed specifically to support pontoon boat trailer bunks. They measure 15-1/2 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 6 inches tall. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can...
view full answer... - Can Pontoon V-Bracket be Used for Jet Ski ApplicationThe great thing about trailer boat parts is that they are universal and even though they may be designed for a certain purpose they can definitely be used for something else. I think using the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket # CE26244G is a great option for your jet ski. This bracket is designed for 2"x6" or 2"x8" bunk boards which it sounds like what you are planning to use.
view full answer... - Galvanized Steel Pontoon Trailer Replacement V-Wing for Bunk BoardsThe CE Smith Galvanized V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE26244G does not include hardware. You can select galvanized hardware that will fit at your mounting point. I linked our page for galvanized u-bolt kits. This bracket is not intended for 2 x 4 bunk boards; it works with 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 boards to support your boat's pontoons. For 2 x 4 bunks you can use kit # CE10001G-4.

It is a total of 15-1/2 inches long and measures 2-1/4 inches from the base to the bottom of the "V" and 6 inches tall at its highest point.

- Are CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket Pontoon Trailers # CE26244G Strong Enough for a Pontoon BoatYes, the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE26244G that you referenced would be a great option for bolster brackets for your pontoon boat trailer as that is exactly what this product was designed to do. The 1/8 inch galvanized steel construction of this bracket would make it strong enough for your pontoon.
view full answer... - Could the CE Smith Bolster Bracket part # CE26244G Be Used on Boat LiftYes, if you wanted to use the # CE26244G on a boat lift you certainly could. You would need to supply the 6 or 8 inch wood bunks for use with this bracket though. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

- Weight Capacity of CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers CE26244GThe CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE26244G does not carry a specific weight rating. But since it is expressly intended for pontoon trailer use and is made from 1/8-inch-thick galvanized steel in typical use it will be over-rated for the application with plenty of safety margin. I suggest checking out the photos some of our customers have sent in to us showing their own installations. These appear on the item's page just below our own studio photos of this part.

They are made to sit under the pontoon on the boat and need to have a secure frame to be mounted to. With knowing that the lift was designed for V-hull boats, I recommend contacting the lift manufacturer to see if it can be modified to accommodate a pontoon boat. Due to the difference in construction of the boats the lift may not be able to work with the pontoon...

Adding the support to the middle crossbar will also ensure you have the most support. These cradles are made of 1/8-inch thick galvanized steel and come with a slotted mounting hole so you can adjust it when installing. If you need marine-grade carpeting for your bunk boards I...

- Converting 19-ft V-Hull Boat Trailer to Pontoon TrailerWe do not have a single item kit to convert a boat trailer from a V-hull setup to a pontoon setup but we do offer all sorts of parts for boat trailers that appear on the linked page. It is possible that a given trailer maker could offer such a kit made to convert one of their trailer models to another so it might be worth checking with the manufacturer. If nothing else this gives you the opportunity to ask safety-related questions about this idea. I suggest having the trailer's VIN...
