• Recommended Placement of Bunk Boards on Bayliner Capri 1950
  After completing a very thorough image search online, it appears that the most common bunk placement is about 2/3 of the way between the keel and the ridge that runs along the side of the hull. Rather than on end, most of the bunks I saw had the board meeting the hull on the flat. This disperses more of the weight of the boat along the bunk. The # CE27820 bunk boards you mentioned would be perfect. I'd also recommend using # CE10001G-4 bunk brackets and # CE15283GA-4 Galvanized u-bolts.

It is also a non-marring PVC construction which is more durable than the rubber rollers you have.

• Weight Capacity And Parts Needed For Modifying Boat Trailer For 26 Ft Regal Commodore
  I spoke with my contact at CE Smith, and they said the Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assembly for Boat Trailers, part # CE10000G, do not bear the weight of the boat. The U-bolt that attaches the brackets to the trailer frame support the weight of the boat. There should be a bracket attached to each cross member of the trailer frame. If you are buying several brackets, I would recommend part # CE10000G-4. This is a set of 4 of the 9 inch adjustable brackets. If you need longer adjustable brackets...

• What is the Weight Capacity of CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies
  The CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 11" - Qty 4 # CE10001G-4 do not have a weight capacity, and are dependent on the U-bolts to hold the weight.

• Converting Boat Trailer From Rollers to Bunk Boards

• Recommended U-Bolts, Rollers and Boat Trailer Lighting/Wiring for a 1984 Shoreline Trailer
  Thanks for sending us the pictures! Since you are installing a Bolster-and-swivel-bracket assembly part # CE10001G-4 and need a 4-1/8 inch width by 3-1/2 or 4-inch length U-bolt, we currently don't offer a close match. I would recommend going to a local hardware store to locate a U-bolt with the dimensions you need. I would go with a stainless steel u-bolt because it is corrosion resistant and ideal for marine applications. For the lighting and wiring on your 1984 Shoreline boat trailer,...

• Determining Trailer Bunk Board Length for 14 Foot Sailboat
  It's not an exact science but typically you want the bunk boards on a trailer to extend all the way to the rear of the boat. It wouldn't hurt to have them go a bit beyond this too to ensure proper support during travel. Since the front of the boat should be supported by the bow stop you usually see bunk boards that measure about half the length of the boat itself. Since you no longer have the boards that originally came on your trailer it might also be a good idea to try and contact the...

• Does CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies Have Weight Rating
  Bolster and swivel brackets like the CE Smith # CE10001G-4 that you referenced actually don't have a weight limit as the manufacturers don't test them that way. Basically just make sure you have a bracket at each mounting beam on your boat trailer and you are good to go! (as long as your boat trailer is rated for the weight of your boat)

• Converting Boat Trailer from Roller Bunks to Carpeted Bunks
  All of the boat trailer bolster brackets we carry such as # CE10001G-4 are strong enough for general use so they do not carry specific weight ratings. These particular brackets are beefy 11-gauge galvanized steel. For bunks we offer carpeted lengths up to 6-feet. For your 20-foot boat four 5-foot bunks # CE27820 should do the trick. Keep in mind that if the trailer currently has roller bunks like # DL21741 switching to carpeted bunks will increase the drag/load on the trailer winch. You...

• Boat Won't Sit Properly on Boat Trailer Roller System
  I can definitely help you figure out what bunk boards to use, but I think with a little adjustment we can get your boat to load much easier with your current setup. Since rollers are considered an upgrade compared to carpeted bunk boards it's a little unusual to want to "downgrade" (in a sense) your boat trailer. From the pictures you sent in and the way you phrased the problem that you're having, it sounds like your Cakins boat makes contact with the keel rollers on your winch stand and...
