Hey Dave,

As long as your current 2"x4" bunk boards are in good shape, you'll just want a hand full of 1-1/2" long lag bolts, preferably 1/4" or in diameter, to secure the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Roller Bunks # DL21741. You are just bolting the rollers directly to the wood, and I'd do at least 4 lags in each roller bunk.

My Triton trailer is new . But im thinking about finding mounts to do without the height of the bunks being on top of the wood. Mounting the Trailer bunks directly to trailer. Can i find those mounts with you guys ? Thank you again Dave

@ThankS If you want to mount the bunks directly to the trailer and not the current bunks, you'll need (4) # DL21742 per bunk, and (1) u-bolt per mount. The u-bolts you need will be dependent on the size of the frame you'll be mounting the brackets to. If you can send me that size, I can recommend u-bolts also. I also included a video showing all of this being installed for you to check out.
