Expert Reply:
Hey Mike. The Tie Down Bunk Slicks item # TD59FR need to be spaced no more than 4" apart. You'll need to use nine per 16' bunk board assuming your fiberglass boat makes contact the entire length of them. I attached a picture below from the instructions that show you how to place them. These bunk slicks come with the hardware you'll need to attach them to your bunks.
What kind of ski boat do you have?
