How Boat Trailer Bunk Boards Attach to Bunk Brackets
Updated 04/01/2016 | Published 03/29/2016
Question:
I am re-doing a boat trailer to fit my 16foot Duracraft flat jon boat. I am in the process of attempting to install two 2 6foot bunk boards covered with marine grade carpet. I AM LOST AS A GOOSE AND NEED HELP BUYING FOUR BRACKETS AND HOW TO INSTALL TO BOARDS AND TRAILER with my comments/questions below: 1. Think I only need bracket with minimum vertical adjustment and no angle adjustment. 2. Could you respond to this email and sketch me a simple drawing of a 2x4 vertical bunk board attached to bracket and trailer? I can not vision how this all fits together, or give me a link to view this confusion. 3. How/where to attach to vertical bunk the wood screws? Thank you for your assistance.

Expert Reply:
The bunk brackets will attach to the trailer cross members using U-bolts. Since you don't need a swiveling bracket, the # CE10600G bracket you mentioned would work fine. I've provided a photo showing how the bunk board attaches to the bracket, which should answer all your questions.
