Question:
By the picture it seems that the screws would make contact with the bottom of the boat. Are there channels for the screws to sit in?

Expert Reply:
Yes, there is David. If you take a look at the picture below, of the Caliber Marine Slides for Boat Trailer Bunks item # CA26AJ, you'll see one of our etrailer stickers. To the right of it is a channel that runs the entire center of the slide.
The instructions recommend to use a countersink drill bit to install the screws. This will avoid all contact with your boat's hull.
I've linked the installation instructions below so you can read through them.
What kind of boat do you have?

Hey David, how did things go with the Caliber Marine Slides on your boat trailer bunks? Did the countersink method keep the screws clear of the hull like you wanted? Your feedback could help others setting up the same slides.
