C.E. Smith Pontoon Bolster Bracket - 15-3/4" x 2"

The C.E. Smith Pontoon Bolster Bracket – 15-3/4" x 2" is a specialized mounting component designed to reinforce and support pontoon tube connections on your vessel. Built for the harsh marine environment, this bolster bracket serves as a critical structural element that distributes load evenly across pontoon frames, preventing flexing and fatigue that can compromise hull integrity over years of water service.

Manufactured by C.E. Smith, an industry leader in marine hardware, this bolster bracket features durable galvanized steel construction that resists saltwater corrosion and UV degradation—essential durability factors for pontoon owners in coastal or freshwater environments alike. The 15-inch length and 2-inch width provide optimal contact surface area for tube-to-frame reinforcement, while the robust design accommodates various pontoon tube diameters and mounting configurations.

This bolster bracket is ideal for pontoon owners performing frame repairs, routine maintenance, or complete tube restoration projects. At 3.8 pounds, the bracket adds minimal weight while maximizing structural support, making it an efficient upgrade or replacement for aging or damaged bolster hardware. Installation typically involves bolting or welding the bracket to existing pontoon frame welds, a straightforward procedure.
