C.E. Smith Vertical 90° Bunk Bracket - 5" x 8" - Aluminum

The C.E. Smith Vertical 90° Bunk Bracket in 5" x 8" aluminum is essential for any reliable boat trailer bunk system. Designed for anglers and boaters who rely on their trailers to protect valuable hulls during transport, these brackets serve as the critical connection between your bunks and trailer frame.

Constructed from durable aluminum, this vertical 90° design offers corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both saltwater and freshwater environments. The 5" x 8" footprint provides a substantial bearing surface, distributing load pressure evenly across the bunk carpeting to prevent hull deformation. The 90-degree angle positions bunks perpendicular to the trailer frame, ensuring proper cradling geometry that keeps your boat centered and balanced during transport.

Boaters with twin-engine rigs or heavier center consoles will benefit most from upgrading to quality brackets, as they enhance ride quality and hull protection. This bracket is compatible with standard C.E. Smith bunk systems and is designed for vertical mounting on aluminum and steel trailer frames. Installation is straightforward with existing bolt holes on the frame, and the lightweight construction ensures it won't add unnecessary heft to your trailer.
