• I Am Looking For 8 Foot Long Bunk-Style Guide Ons For My Boat Trailer

The can be adjusted to fit different size trailer frames, but the actual length of the bunk board is not custom. The longest bunk board that we carry is 7 feet long # CE27845, we do not have any that are longer than that. An option you could do if the 7 foot long boards would work is to use the bracket kit # CE27600K90 with the bunk boards # CE27845 to apply to your trailer. If you do in fact need...

• What Size Lag Bolts do I Need to Swap Out Bunk Boards on 20 Foot Bass Boat?
  Hello Randy, Great question. For replacing bunk boards on a 20 ft bass boat trailer (like # CE27845), you’ll want 3/8 inch diameter lag bolts that are 1-1/2 to 2 inches long, depending on the thickness of your bunk brackets. Go with hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel, use flat washers, and drill a small pilot hole (1/4" bit will do the trick) so the wood doesn’t split. Lightly countersink the heads so they don’t rub through the carpet, snug them down without overtightening, and you’ll...

• How Can I Figure Out What Replacement Parts Are Needed For My Boat Trailer?
  Hello Tim, thanks for reaching out. I can certainly point you in the right direction, but there is no way to look up your trailer to know exactly what parts you will need. Most trailer manufacturers do not make this kind of information available online, and there is no universal database we can access. A Shorelander dealership might be able to pull up a build sheet and tell you exactly what parts to use. Otherwise we would need you to take a closer look at the bunk size and brackets and...

• Availability of 10' Long Carpeted Bunk Boards
  Hey Verne! I do have a solution but, 10' bunk boards are not something that we carry.

• Replacement Rollers For Wobble Rollers To Eliminate Marks and Gauging In The Boat Hull
  Since your main concern is the marks on the hull of your boat I recommend going to the Yates TPR Ribbed Wobble Roller. These rollers are constructed of thermal-plasticized rubber which is a non-marking, non-scratching material. It is stronger and more durable than traditional rubber while being softer and more pliant than polyurethane. You will need to find your shaft size to find the correct 5" Rollers. If you have a different size roller let me know what size it is and I can help you...

• Rollers to Carry Raft on Modified Trailer
  The way the Ladder Roller for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars # RR1500 works is that the top bracket mounts into the t-tracks of your bars and roller is on the side. That means they can't be flipped upwards since there are no t-tracks on the side of the bar that they can clamp onto if the bar was mounted traditionally like it would be on a roof rack. If you're modifying a boat trailer though, you might be interested in Boat Trailer Standard Roller Bunks # DL21755. These can attach to mounting...

• Replacement Options for 17' Long Bunk Boards for a 20' Pontoon Boat
  It is recommended to have bunk boards at least 50% of the length of your boat. But since you currently have 17' bunk boards, we would recommend that you replace your boards with that same length. The longest complete bunk board that we have are the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27845 which are 7' long (this is 1 pair). So you would need to buy (2) of these and (1) of the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards # CE27800 (3') to get 17'. Or what I would recommend is to get some 10' 2x4's from...

• Can Bunk Boards Be Built Using Pressure Treated Lumber
  You certainly could make your own bunk boards using pressure treated lumber and bunk carpet like # CE11372 if you wish. CE Smith doesn't use pressure treated lumber in their bunk boards because some of the chemicals used to pressure treat the lumber could leach into the water.

• How to Select Bunk Boards for a Pontoon Boat Trailer
  The correct size of bunk boards for your pontoon boat trailer is going to vary depending on configuration. Generally speaking, you will want the horizontal bunk boards to reach from the transom edge to the hull. Most people will then run two sets of vertical bunk boards like CE Smith Bunk Style Guide-Ons part # CE27671 in the middle of the trailer to center the boat and then two sets of horizontal bunk boards on each side to support the pontoons. The longest horizontal bunk boards we offer...

• Do You Have 9 Foot Carpeted Bunk Boards?
  No, I am sorry we do not. The longest bunk boards we have are the 7" CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards item # CE27845 you were looking at. There's a shipping issue with longer boards apparently. The only solution I have is to get some 10' 2x4's from your local home improvement store and cut them down to 9' and wrap them in CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting for Bunk Boards item # CE11349.

• Can I Use Roller Bunks and Carpeted Bunk Boards Together on Boat Trailer
  I'll start off by saying that I've seen quite a few boat trailers that use a combination of rollers like the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers - 6 Rollers Each - 5' Long - 1,500 lbs - 1 Pair # CE27710 and a carpeted bunk like the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers - 7' Long - 1 Pair # CE27845. The rollers definitely help if you're on a lot of shallow or steep boat ramps and combining the two gives you the best of both worlds, with the rollers on the bottom and boards...

  So the U-Bolt will secure the CE Smith Light Duty, Vertical Bunk Bracket # CE10603G with the ends pointing towards the back of the trailer.

• Selecting Trailer Hand Winch for 7000-lb Boat
  The capacity of winch you will need for a 7000-lb boat depends on the specific nature of the trailer. The factors that affect selection of a winch include the winching distance, the incline and the nature of the bunks on the trailer. The included article on hand winches has lots of helpful information that will guide you. If the trailer is equipped with low-friction roller bunks like # DL21741, rather than plain wooden bunks like # CE27845, then you can safely use a winch with a lower...
