Hey Frank! I recommend the Caliber Marine Slides # CA66AJ for your bunk boards. These slides attach directly to the surface of the bunk board with the included screws, and are designed for installation on both horizontal and vertical bunks. Each slide is 3" Wide x 15" long and it comes with 10 total. If you want more coverage, you could use the Caliber Bunk Wrap Kit # CA33AJ as an alternative.

What kind of boat and boat trailer do you have?

@FrankJ nice setup! With a 15' 6" Smoker Craft Resorter and an overall weight around 600 lbs, the Caliber Marine Slides # CA66AJ will work great on your vertical bunk boards and make loading and unloading much smoother. Enjoy the boat and have a great season on the water!

Hey Mike! Caliber Marine Slides #CA26AJ can handle the weight of your boat. However, for your 25' Pro-Line I recommend using the 3" wide Caliber Marine Slides #CA66AJ instead. With a 5,000 lb fiberglass boat, the wider slide is the better…

I've never had any bleed through that damaged the hulls of my PWC's but for pontoons (presumably stainless) there is some concern. The CCA used to pressure treat wood several years ago was very corrosive to stainless steel, from what I read…

Hey Steve, you do need to remove the carpeting of your bunks before installing the Tie Down Marine Slides for Boat Trailer Bunks #TD69FR that you referenced. I checked with Tie Down to confirm this.

Hey Leighann, do you know how wide your bunk boards are? Most small/medium sized boats have 1-3/4" wide bunk boards, or something close to that. If that's what you have, you'll need to go with the 1-1/2" wide option from Caliber…

The Acura MDX is the 'sister' vehicle to the Honda Pilot. The MDX and Pilot typically don't have problems with the hitch interfering with the liftgate sensors. I believe you're thinking about the RDX/Honda CR-V which frequently has an…
