Expert Reply:

Boat trailer bunk boards like CE Smith # CE27840 can be secured to swivel brackets like # CE10000G-4 using either galvanized or stainless steel hardware intended for wood. This is not included so you will source the preferred hardware locally. Drilling pilot holes should not be necessary; you should be able to directly install the screws that mount the brackets.
