C.E. Smith Vertical 90° Bunk Bracket - 5" x 10" - Aluminum

The C.E. Smith Vertical 90° Bunk Bracket in 5" x 10" aluminum is a heavy-duty mounting solution designed for boat trailer systems that require reliable support for bunk boards. Built from aluminum construction, this vertical bracket provides the structural integrity needed to secure large bunk boards capable of carrying substantial vessel weight. The 5-inch width and 1/4-inch thickness deliver the load-bearing capacity expected in professional and recreational boating applications where trailer durability directly impacts vessel security and transport safety.

This bunk bracket's 90-degree vertical orientation positions the mounting surface perpendicular to the trailer frame, creating a stable interface for horizontal bunk board installation. Aluminum's inherent corrosion resistance makes it ideal for saltwater and freshwater environments where steel components would degrade rapidly. The vertical design distributes load forces efficiently across the trailer structure, critical for preventing flex or deflection during highway transport. At 1.7 pounds per bracket, the component adds minimal weight while maintaining the rigidity required for securing boats ranging from mid-sized recreational craft to larger fishing and offshore vessels.

Weekend anglers upgrading existing trailers and commercial operations managing multi-vessel fleets alike rely on C.E. Smith bunk brackets as standardized components that integrate with established trailer frameworks. The 5" x 10" footprint accommodates typical bunk board widths while providing adequate mounting surface area for secure fastening. Sold individually, these brackets allow users to purchase the exact quantity needed for their specific trailer configuration. Proper installation across multiple brackets ensures even weight distribution and prevents stress concentration that could compromise hull integrity or trailer frame longevity during extended towing.
