Hey Robert,

Without knowing the exact sizes of your current bunks on your trailer I would recommend the Tie Down Marine Slides # TD49FR. These come in 4 3 foot sections and 4 1 foot sections to cover different sizes and adjust if you have a longer bunk than 8 feet. All mounting hardware is included as well.

What kind of boat do you have?

So with a 9000lb boat marine slides seem too lite to hold the boat without crushing those hollow slides, what else do you have? 8 ft slides

Hey, Mitch. You can use the Tie Down Bunk Slicks part #TD59FR with a fiberglass Ranger Boat. One thing to keep in mind is the slicks are made of a PVC and PVC is more ridged. Over time you will see some friction marks or scuffs. Just something to…

Hey Greg! Where did your Stromberg Carlson Base Pad Extreme #SC53VR crack? The Andersen Trailer Jack Block #AN39VR is a good alternative. It has the same 6,000 lb capacity and the design is a little more basic/straightforward which makes it less…

Hello AJ, good question, and nice boat! The Andersen Trailer Jack Block #AN99VR is really only intended to be used on a jack with a foot plate, or just a straight tube. If you used it with a jack with a wheel, there would not be much keeping the…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
