BUNK BRACKETS & BUNKS
Locate the bunk brackets. See Diagram A. Note that the front
bunk brackets are located on the front of the cross member
while the rear bunk brackets are located on the rear of the
cross member. Choose a pair of holes for the bunk location.
Attach the bunk brackets to the cross members using 3/8” x
1” carriage bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Hand tighten
only because they will have to be adjusted when the boat is
placed on the trailer.
Position the bunks so that they are above the bunk brackets
just installed. Note that the mounting brackets attached to the
bunks are not centered on the bunks but are off center 4
inches. They can be installed either direction. Positioning
them so the extra bunk is to the rear will allow you to put a longer
boat on the trailer. This adjustment may also be critical when trying
to establish the correct tongue weight.
Attach the bunks to the brackets using 3/8” x 1” carriage bolts and
flange lock nuts. Tighten but do not over tighten, the bunks must be
allowed to pivot so they will conform to the boat when it is placed on
the trailer.
