Thanks to Trevor, who understood my Malone Microsport trailer better than I did. Need ubolts to attach boat bunk risers to the frame. When I got the ubolts I checked them on the side rails - and they were too small. I was ready to send them back when I figured I’d check them on the cross members, which go INSIDE the side rails and Voila! Perfect fit. One would think that, having assembled the trailer, I would have remembered that. The risers go on the cross members, not the side rails. Guess that’s why I called to make the order - etailer staff know their stuff! Thanks, Trevor!

Excellent galvanized coating. Quality hardware, i tightened down a good bit on them and no problems. Good stuff!

Used these as part of a full boat trailer rebuild. They were sized perfectly and of very high quality. After a year of use these are performing excellently.

They where easy to install... Heavy duty ... Worth every penny big to Etrailer...

My jetski trailer needed new bunks and hardware, I called these guys to verify what I needed. They hooked my up with good quality parts. I do wish however they would have included the lag screws needed for the bunks.

Still great

Good quality product. Unfortunately, I need a shorter u-bolt length to fit the frame on my trailer, so will be returning.
by: Cumi06/02/2016
Ordering was smooth and shipped out from ETRAILER was lightning fast.
U Bolt and Bolster bracket are heavy duty enough. They should screw down the swivel on bolster bracket a lot more because it was pretty annoying moving around while mounting it.
The guide rail bracket holes were a bit too close to the frame, making it difficult to use a ratchet
end wrench placement and removal difficult. Without using ratchet, it will take you several minutes to put a nut on just one.
Quality is good!

The U-bolts need to be threaded further up the bolt. It may work ok for larger sized boat trailers that have thicker rails. I have a 16 foot jon boat that has a trailer with rails that are thinner in depth. So matter which way I placed the bracket, the u-bolt would not tighten all the way down. I had to create a spacer to be able to tighten the bracket with the u-bolt. Threading the bolt further would solve the problem.

The product is still working great !
by: Tim S.05/07/2020
Completely updated the axle, suspension, and added roller bunks to my waverunner trailer. Have taken the waverunner in for the winter and back out for the summer one time. All components were great and the trailer rides really well!
by: Joanie06/30/2018
Good quality U-bolts and swivel bracket assemblies. They are not a direct fit for my Caulkins trailer. I will have to devise a tapered shim for the bolsters so that they will run parallel to the outside rails. I had not counted on a custom installation.
by: Cal03/31/2022
Shipping box half open. More tape?? bolt package open not all lock washers included. Nothing major. I’ll get another one at Lowes

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
by: Lawrence Thurier06/28/2016
All the parts came as ordered,very pleased with everything. Got the bunk boards mounted and my boat seems to sit on them as i expected. I purchased stainless steel lag bolts to attach the bunks to the brackets. Parts arrived UPS all packaged in a large box with lots of packing paper,loose items all wrapped nice so nothing got lost.
by: John S10/17/2014
all expected parts arrived in excellent condition and as promised.
dimensional diagrams for the CE Smith Bolster & Swivel bracket would be helpful for choosing an accurate size.
Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with my order.

Exactly what I needed. Easy checkout and Very fast shipping.
by: Chip P07/10/2019
The products purchased were solid and of good quality. I'm impressed.
We purchased a used Jon boat and are upgrading the trailer and boat to for our satisfaction. We would not hesitate to purchase other products for etrailer. The videos were very helpful and informative. If I can I will add photos of before and after, soon.
by: Gene B.07/29/2017
GREAT Customer Service!! Seth worked with me to get the exact size and type of bolts needed for the job. Prompt delivery and up to date tracking. This is how a business should handle their customers. Bolts are heady duty galvanized. Will easily replace the rusted bolts that hold the bunk board brackets.
by: Pete R04/06/2016
Good quality product. Seems to be well constructed. All parts were included. The best part was not having to hunt down individual components when you can buy a complete set. Packaging was good. This will make installation of bolster brackets for my boat trailer a breeze. I would definitely buy from etrailer in the future.
by: Martin01/13/2020
Bought several parts from eTrailer to complete this restoration and transformation of a 1958 trailer to suit my needs today. Couldn't have done it in only 4 days without the help from this great company with quality products!
by: Robert08/20/2020
The parts came quickly, all well packed. The coating on them seems very good. Love the way the nuts and washers are packaged and ty wrapped to the u bolts. They should work out well.
by: Tom11/03/2019
etrailer has always delivered for me. I’ve ordered a wide range of items which get here on time and good quality. These 1/2” galvanized U bolts were perfect for my boat trailer rebuild!

- Recommended U-Bolts for Bracket Replacement on Boat Trailer With 3x3 FrameFor U-bolts for your 3" x 3" frame you will want something that is slightly larger. If the measurements were listed as exactly 3" it isn't going to fit. What you need is the CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter # CE15283GA. These U-bolts are the right size for your frame with a 3-1/16" width. They come in various quantities depending on your needs. 2 Bolts # CE15283GA-2 4 Bolts # CE15283GA-4 8 Bolts # CE15283GA-8 I have attached a review video for...
view full answer... - Recommended Bunk Brackets For Pontoon Boat TrailerIf there is no flex in the bunks with the pontoon boat loaded, you should be fine with the 1/2 inch clearance. If you are possibly hitting the frame of the trailer when traveling I recommend replacing the bunk brackets with taller ones like part # CE10161GA. This bracket sits on top of the frame of the trailer and are 8 inches tall, and 5 inches wide with 4 mounting holes that are spaced 1-1/2 inches apart center to center. This will give you options to mount the bunks at the height you...
view full answer... - Distance Between 1st & 3rd Bolt Holes of Replacement CE Smith Heavy Duty Vertical Bunk BracketThe distance from the center of the top bolt hole to the center of the third bolt hole from the top is 3 inches for the Replacement CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Bracket # CE10162GA. These brackets are 10" tall x 5" wide and to install require 1/2" diameter U-bolts to such as the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well as a link to our selection of 1/2" diameter U-bolts if you also need those.
view full answer... - Is Mounting Hardware Included with CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies, # CE10000G-4The CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies, # CE10000G-4, do not come with any mounting hardware. Because the brackets can be used for different size and type bunks they do not include the hardware because it would not cover all applications. The holes that attach the bunk board to the swivel bracket are 3/8 inches in diameter. To attach the brackets to the trailer frame you can use U-bolts such as # CE15283GA-2 which are 3-13/16 inches long, 3-1/16 inches wide, and have a 1/2...
view full answer... - Which Replacement Bunk Brackets For Boat TrailerIf you are wanting to use vertical bunk brackets like the CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets - 90 Degree - Galvanized Steel - 6" Tall - Qty 2 # CE10160GA-2, I recommend using them on the front and rear of the trailer. You will also need CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter - Qty 2 # CE15283GA-2 to secure the brackets to your trailer frame. If you have a lighter boat and would rather have the bunk brackets that allow you to angle the bunk...
view full answer... - U-Bolt Recommendation for the CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets # CE26233-34GAThe correct U-bolts to go along with the CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets # CE26233-34GA that you referenced are the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4.
view full answer... - How Do CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets CE26233-34GA Get Installed?You are correct. You will want to mount the longer 95 degree bracket of the CE Smith Heavy Duty, Vertical Bunk Brackets - 85 and 95 Degree Set # CE26233-34GA on the lower section of the angled crossmember on your boat trailer, and the 85 degree bracket on the higher section of the crossmember. In addition you will need 1/2" diameter U-bolts to secure the brackets to the crossmember. If your crossmember is 3" x 3" then I recommend the CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16"...
view full answer... - U-Bolt Kit for Use with CE Smith Heavy Duty Vertical Bunk Brackets CE26233-34GAAlong with CE Smith Heavy Duty Vertical Bunk Brackets # CE26233-34GA you can use the u-bolt kit # CE15283GA-4 which is shown in the linked video.

To attach the brackets to the trailer frame you can use U-bolts such as # CE15283GA-2 which are 3-13/16 inches long, 3-1/16 inches wide, and have a 1/2 inch diameter. Or you could use # CE15283GA-4 which is the same thing only it comes with 4 U-bolts instead of 2. These mounting slots, are a length of 2-3/4 of an inch. There is a width of a 1/2 inch spacing in...

- Recommended 10-Inch Bolster Brackets And Hardware For Boat TrailerWe have bolster brackets with swivels and the hardware needed to install them but they are not available as a kit. For the brackets I recommend part # CE10001G-4. This includes 4 10-inch bolster brackets with the swivels. For the additional bolsters you said you need you can order part # CE10001G. These are sold individually. The hardware needed to mount the bolsters to your trailer I recommend is part # CE15283GA-4. This includes 4-U-bolts, washers and nuts. For additional U-bolts...
view full answer... - Availability of 7 Feet Long 2 x 4 Carpeted Bunk Boards for a Boat TrailerThe longest carpeted bunk boards we currently offer is 6 feet in length. It's the CE Smith part # CE27840 and each 6-foot long 2x4 is covered in marine grade carpet. You can easily construct some bunks yourself. Go to your local lumberyard and get some yellow pine 2x4x10 boards. You can then purchase some of the marine-grade carpet we offer, like part # CE11372. You'll need one roll per bunk, which means you'll have some scrap left over, which you can utilize as needed for other projects....
view full answer... - Can I Use Roller Bunks and Carpeted Bunk Boards Together on Boat TrailerI'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...
view full answer... - Can I Install CE Smith Bolster Swivel Brackets On L Shaped Open Cross MemberThe CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket part # CE10001G-4 attaches to the boat trailer frame with U-bolts. The brackets are designed to install on the inside of the cross member where the bunk boards would be on the frame. I recommend to use U-bolts part # CE15283GA-4 to install the brackets on the 3 inch channel cross member. I have attached a photo of what the install looks like on a trailer like yours.

- Brackets For Bunk Boards That Raise Them 6 InchesFor bunk board brackets that give you 6 inches to clear the fenders you can use the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies - Galvanized Steel - 11" # CE10001G-4. These are 11" tall with 3-3/4" mounting slots so you can get the height you need. For U-bolts to secure the brackets use CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized - 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide x 1/2" Diameter # CE15283GA-4.
view full answer... - Can Top of CE Smith Swivel Bracket be Tightened to Keep Them at AngleThe top of the swivel bracket is not something that can be tightened to completely stop the swivel for the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10002G-4. So there is always going to be some swivel in these brackets to ensure that they are always at the correct angle when being loaded. I also wanted to mention that to install these brackets you will need U-bolts, the CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-4. I have added some links below to video reviews for you to check out as well...
view full answer... - Brackets for Adding Additional Bunk Boards to Magic Tilt Galvanized Kayak TrailerThe problem is that your bunks need to face a different direction than what standard boat trailers have so it's hard to have a solution since your setup is unique. That said I don't see why you couldn't use CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10002G-4 attached to the rails front to back on your trailer so that could could mount the bunks. For a U-bolt kit you could then use the part # CE15283GA-4 to secure the brackets.
view full answer... - Are U-Bolts Included With CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket AssembliesThe CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10000G-4 only come with the brackets, U-bolts are sold separately. For U-bolts you can use the CE Smith U-Bolts - Galvanized # CE15283GA-4.
view full answer... - Keel Roller for 1975 Wellcraft V20 Boat TrailerFor the crossmembers the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10403G would work really well. It's pretty common to use one of these on each crossmember so it would work pretty well. Then for U-bolts you'd want the part # CE15283GA-4.
view full answer... - Picking Out Roller Bunks for 2002 Bayliner Boat TrailerI don't have a way to look up what length bunk boards your trailer has but best would be to measure your boards and then go with the bunk length that matches. For 5 foot bunks you'd want the part # CE27710 and for 4 foot part # CE27700. You can attach the rollers to your current bunks and it will sit a little higher but all that means is that you'd need to have trailer a little deeper in water when launching. But since rollers have less resistance it won't be by much.
view full answer... - Replacement Bunk Boards and Brackets Needed for 1997 Esco Boat TrailerTypically yo'll use brackets like part # CE10000G-4 with U-Bolts like part # CE15283GA-4 and then a combination of bunk boards like the 3' long # CE27800, but since we don't have specs on what came with your 1997 Esco Boat Trailer you'll need to take some measurements of your trailer frame, your current hardware, and bunk boards to choose the correct replacement parts. Once you look at what is on your trailer you can either filter through the linked selection of boat trailer parts for...
view full answer... - When Using Two Sets Of CE Smith Roller Bunks For Boat Trailers Is Weight Capacity IncreasedI called my contact at CE Smith about the Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers, part # CE27700. They said since you are planning on using 4 bunks instead of 2, the rollers would have no problem with the additional 500 lbs as you described, as long as the weight is distributed evenly on the roller bunks. These roller bunks can be attached to wooden bunks or you may want to use swivel brackets like part # CE10003G-4. If you need U-bolts I recommend part # CE15283GA-4 for 4 U-bolts. For 4...
view full answer... - Roller Bunks For 8 Foot Long Bunk Boards on Jet Ski TrailerSince you have 8 foot wooden bunks already, you can indeed just mount the roller bunks directly to the wooden bunks with 3/8" lag screws, and you're correct you'd need four of the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers - 4' Long # CE27700. The lag screws are something you'd have to pick up at your hardware store, and that's the route I'd go since it's just easier overall (and just as safe) than removing your current bunks. But if you're more comfortable removing your current bunk boards...
view full answer... - Recommended Placement of Bunk Boards on Bayliner Capri 1950After 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.
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Convert Boat Trailer From Roller Bunks To Bunk BoardsAlthough we don't have an actual guide, switching from roller bunks to bunk boards on your boat trailer is fairly straightforward. For the most part, you will just be replacing the rollers with the boards. You can use bunk boards like the # CE27820. You will also need brackets # CE10001G-4 and U-bolts # CE15283GA-4 to mount the boards. I'm not entirely sure what your setup is, so I went ahead and included a link to all of our bunk boards at the bottom if you need a different length. I...
