Question:
I want to install 8inch bolster brackets on my boat trailer. I am looking for U-bolts to fit the trailer. The front tube on the trailer is 3inch tall and 2inch thick, The rear tube on the trailer is 3inch by 3. Do you carry bolts that will fit over these tube sizes as well as fit your 8inch bolster brackets????

Expert Reply:
Since you've got a boat trailer, you'll want to use something that offers a good level of corrosion resistance. We have two different u-bolts that would work for you, one that's zinc plated # CE15252A and one that's stainless steel, part # CE15253A. If you're in a freshwater environment, the zinc plated u-bolt would work fine, but if you're using your boat in saltwater, you might consider the stainless option.
