Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. The longest Marine Slides we offer are the 8' long like part # TD99FR. I am sorry to say we do not offer anything 12' long.

Hey Brian, were you able to find a way to cover your 12' bunks since we only carry the 8' marine slides? Knowing what solution worked could help others with longer trailers.

Can I cut these down so they will fit the size I need?

@Saram Yes, the Tie Down Glide-Ons can be cut down to fit shorter 2x4 bunk boards. They’re made from polyvinyl material, so a fine-tooth saw works well for trimming them. I recommend making your cut at the front end and leaving the rounded rear section intact, since that finished end is designed to sit near the back of the bunk and help guide the boat onto the trailer.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Answer 10

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…
