How to Install New Boat Bunk Boards
Installing boat trailer bunk boards is quick and easy! Just follow these simple steps:
- Pick a sunny day to launch and dock your boat. Have your family enjoy a ride or relax at the dock while you handle the installation. (Pro tip: Get the handiest person in your crew to stay back and help—bribery with a cold drink works wonders!)
- Remove the old bunk boards using a socket wrench. Use them as a guide to mark the hole locations on your new boat bunk boards.
- Drill pilot holes (usually 9/64″) at each fastener location on the carpeted boat trailer bunk boards—but don’t drill all the way through.
- Apply silicone sealant in the holes for added protection. Then, position the boat bunk boards on the brackets and secure them using 1 ½” long by 5/16” lag screws with washers.
And that’s it! In just a few steps, you’ve successfully installed new boat bunk boards and upgraded your boat trailer bunk carpet—protecting your boat and ensuring smooth loading and unloading.
