CE Smith Boat Trailer Parts - CE26244G

Features:

Heavy-duty bracket mounts to your pontoon boat trailer's frame or crossmembers and allows you to mount 2 bunk boards
- Stabilizes bunk boards when 2 brackets are used (other bracket sold separately)
- Does not include mounting hardware
Wide base provides a strong mounting platform
Slotted mounting hole allows for adjustment during installation
1/8" Thick, galvanized steel construction is sturdy and resists corrosion
Made in USA

Specs:

Quantity: 1 bracket
Application: 6" and 8" wide bunk boards
Dimensions: 15-1/2" long x 3" wide x 6" tall
Mounting slot dimensions: 7-1/2" long x 1/2" wide

This bracket holds two 2"x6" or 2"x8" bunk boards angled toward each other to provide support for one of the boat's pontoons. On both the right and left sides of the trailer, one bracket is mounted in the front and another in the rear. Carpeted bunk boards typically run from front to back.

Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being 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.

Worked perfectly for my application. Had to widen an 8 foot wide trailer to accomodate a 8.5 wide boat.
Bolted 2x2 to top of existing frame and then bolted these bolsters to that. Bought 2x2 plastic end caps for the 2x2 and trailer looks like it Was made at the factory this way. Was cheaper than buying a new trailer.

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.

by: steve s. 03/28/2017

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.

by: Bill N. 09/24/2015

Perfect fit for my 9 foot Colorado XT inflatable pontoon boat. Mounted these brackets onto the plywood base of a Ironton 4' x 8' trailer. Used roller bunks on the brackets because I needed to push a second Colorado XT onto the back of my truck with the electric motor and battery still attached to the boat.

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 !

by: Elana 04/24/2020

I have been buying trailer parts from etrailer for years and have always been completely satisfied. Great communication, service, shipping and extremely competitive prices. In contrast, over the last few months when I've had questions via email the etrailer staff just drops the conversation. I had follow up questions about parts and never received a reply. On one of those ocassions I bought from their competitor who cared enough to answer ALL of my questions. I also had somewhat of a surprise with my most recent order with shipping deliver dates and prices. I'll attribute these to the current times we are living in.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I ORDERED THIS TYPE OF BUNK BRACKET CE26244G I USUALLY BUY THE 3/8 " STEEL ONES ( over 40 of them so far ) AND THOUGHT I WOULD TRY THESE ADJUSTABLE TYPE . THE SHIPPING & DELIVERY WAS FAST AND ON TIME , AND THEY APPEAR TO BE A VERY GOOD USEFUL PRODUCT , HOWEVER THEY ARRIVED WITH REALLY SHARP FINGER POKING BRIAR LIKE METAL POINTS STICKING OUT AT VARIOUS POINTS ON OF ALL 8 0F THEM ." OUCH " I POKED MY FINGERS TWICE , SO I PUT ON GLOVES AND DEBURED THEM WHICH I THINK SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE SHIPPING THEM TO CUSTOMERS . I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FINGER POKERS BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SEND THEM VIA EMAIL .OTHER WISE I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THEM . I AM NOT GOING TO SUE UNLESS MY FINGER GETS INFECTED AND FALLS OFF (only kidding ) ETRAILER IS ONE GREAT PLACE TO GET MY ORDERS PROMPTLY AND I WILL ORDER AGAIN , AS I LIKE YOUR PRODUCTS AND FAST DELIVERY THANK YOU ! -- [ JOE ]
Give you 5 stars if you eliminate the pokers HA ! HA! HA !--- THANKS AGAIN

Package arrived on schedule. I am very pleased with the bolster brackets and clamps. Heavy duty steel and good galvanizing, will work perfectly with the kayak trailer that I am currently fabricating. Price and value was excellent. Will forward images of product and project when completed.

by: Brian 06/22/2018

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.

by: MJ 06/09/2016

Easy installation for any skill level. Should not take more than two minutes per bracket secure. Performance has proven to be perfect. Very strong and stable when tested. I would recommend these brackets to anyone power-loading or not. They work that well!

by: Tigger 03/26/2020 One Year Later

Used them to convert my boat lift v-bottom bunks to a tri-toon setup. Size and condition of parts were exactly as advertised, and installation went as expected. One year later they're still looking and working great.

I purchased these Ving bolted brackets to replace rusted broken metal brackets on my pontoon trailer. They are simple to install and hold the boat exactly like a new trailer. Helped to sell the boat. Love em. My next project is my boat lift.

I am very satisfied with the product, and the service very fast, delivery on time

This product is being used to construct a 22' pontoon boat trailer..when the trailer is finished I will have used 10 of the cs26244g.. I have modified the bracket by adding a stiffener piece of metal and bolting it too the under side of bracket..just a little more support if I was to haul a bigger pontoon with a very large motor...Ken

by: Rich S. 08/01/2017

In the process of rebuilding a well used pontoon trailer for our safety boat we found a few sites offering bunk supports and Etrailer had the best price and fast delivery.
Would certainly do business with Etrailer again.

Do you have a question about this Boat Trailer Part?

Does CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket Install to Boat Trailer with U-Bolts
Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out! The CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket # CE26244G is installed by putting bolts through your frame as opposed to using U-Bolts or something similar. You can definitely switch out to this style, but you'll need to drill holes into your crossbeams to install the brackets.

V Mounting Brackets to Convert Conventional Trailer into Pontoon Boat Trailer
The V mounting brackets that you could use to convert your conventional trailer to a pontoon boat trailer are the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket, # CE26244G. When it comes to mounting hardware for these brackets, I recommend using a screw and washer like our 3/8 Inch Stainless Steel Hex Lag Screw, # FA74521, and Stainless Steel Washer, # FA0152661. I have attached a link to our U-bolts for boat trailers. Since the mounting slot on the V bracket would typically run parallel with the...

They also recommend a bracket be installed at each frame cross member for maximum support. The brackets are best when installed with a 2x6 or 2x8 carpeted bunk boards laid flat.

How Many Support Brackets Are Needed For A 14 Foot Bunk Board Carrying A Pontoon Boat?
As the bunks will be support the weight of your pontoon boat, I always recommend getting them to the end of the transom, or as close as possible. As you mentioned using 14 foot long boards, you will want at least 4 evenly spaced support brackets per board, but 5 is better. You have a few options for these brackets as well. I tend to like the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket # CE26244G as I prefer the rigid style and it can hold two boards. However, our most popular style is the CE Smith...

Replacement V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat
What you sent in a picture of is a V-Wing bolster bracket like the # CE26244G that you referenced. These are slightly different from what you have that are 11 inches wide by 5 inches high. These are 15-1/2 inches wide by 6 inches tall which is pretty close. Also these are designed for 6 or 8 inch wide bunk boards. When you replace the boards you'll need to use either width and you'll be set. I attached a link to our return policy page also. We do not have anything like what's in your...

Adding V-Wing Bolster Brackets To Cradle For 22-Ft Bennington Pontoon Boat
Since you are planning on using the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Brackets, part # CE26244G for a cradle, using boards that hang off the ends by 2-feet may give you plenty of support for your 22-ft pontoon boat. 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 recommend...

Converting 19-ft V-Hull Boat Trailer to Pontoon Trailer
We 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 handy...

Can Roller Bunks Be Used On a Pontoon Boat Trailer?
Yes, you can use Roller Bunks # CE27700 with a pontoon boat trailer. These come in 4' long sections that you can attach directly on top of the bunk boards or you can use the V-Wing Bolster Bracket # CE26244G if you are concerned with raising the height of the boat on the trailer as you already mentioned the shallow ramp. I do recommend using Roller Style Guide-Ons # CE27672 to help position the pontoon on the rollers when loading your pontoon boat.

Can I use Trailer Bunk Boards for a Boat Lift?
The CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE26244G you referenced in your question is designed for boat trailers but can be used on your boat lift.

On both the right and left sides of the trailer, one bracket is mounted in the front and another in...

Can Pontoon V-Bracket be Used for Jet Ski Application
The 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.

These will work well for the tritoon you referenced. You just use a bunk board at an angle on each sided of the individual pontoons. You will have 6 bunk boards and I've linked the page to the options for you. If you don't need a certain height, then the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon...

Using Bunk Rollers For a Kayak Ramp
I do not see any reason why the CE Smith Roller Bunks # CE27710 would not work for your kayak ramp. The frame has a thick 3-5mil galvanized coating that will provide years of protection without rusting or corroding. The heavy duty rubber rollers will not damage your kayak when it is slid up or down the ramp. You will want to make sure that you can secure these properly. The CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket # CE26244G may work to hold the rollers at the correct angle and width for your kayak.

Will the CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers Work with 25 Tubes
The CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE10052-32G does not have a specific pontoon tube size requirement. That said, the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE26244G would likely be a better option for larger pontoon tubes since it allows for larger bunk boards and has a wider spread.

Yes, 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.

Will Pontoon Boat Bolster Brackets # Work On Boat Lift Designed For A V-Hull Boat
The CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket, part # CE26244G we offer is designed to have either 2 X 6 or 2 X 8 boards mounted to them. 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 boat.

Longer Bunk Boards To Support The Front Of PWC On A Trailer
Hi Mike! While there probably is an option somewhere out there that would support the keel forward of the bunk boards, it's not something we currently carry. I suppose you could use something like the CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel - Qty 1 # CE26244G, but it would require some serious customization to make work. The way I think would be best is with the 3rd pair of short bunk boards to support the front. In your case, I think having a little...

How Many V-Wing Brackets Are Needed To Support A 28-ft Long Pontoon Boat
I 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.

What Size Board Does CE26244G Bunk Board Bracket Fit
