It would be ok for your to cover them fiberglass resin and tyen cover. You will not having any problems doing so. The CE Smith V-Wing Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers # CE26244G will provide a strong mounting platform for your bunk boards. They have a galvanized steel construction which is sturdy and resists corrosion.

Stacey, the only Malone trailers that offer a 78" long crossbar are the Malone MicroSport Trailers like #MPG460G. Malone does not offer a 78" crossbar option for their EcoLight trailer #MAL53FR, unfortunately.

Standard trailer wiring circuits on 7-ways like the part #C58155 and #PK12706 are rated for up to 40 amps so if you wanted to use a 7-way like this to power a horn that is rated for 13 amps you certainly could.

I know you said you don't want a trailer option, but realistically a trailer option might be your only option like the part #CE48810. None of the roof kayak carriers have enough capacity for the 121 lbs of your kayak and even if they did it would…

Hey Joel, you are correct you do not need to install carpet on the bunks if you install the Tie Down Bunk Slicks for Boat Trailer Bunks #TD59FR. What kind of boat do you have?
