Bunk Board Guide-on Installation - Boat Trailer Rails

Smith Bunk Board Guide-ons: www.amazon.com/dp/B000KK90P6/...
This video shows how to install the 'Smith' Bunkboard Guide-on" / AKA Bunk Board Rails / AKA Bunk Board Guides. I'm always fighting current when trying to load my boat from the river. These guides have been one of the best purchases I've made. Now it is super easy to load the boat on straight. All you need are some wrenches and a screwdriver, and you are set for this install. This is super easy to install once you know the basic set-up. Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing!

Glad it was helpful!

MAN! I’m glad I went to KZbin and watched your video. I was going to Weld my brackets to the trailer. I found some of that same square tubing you have and made the Uprights with it. Thanks For This Great Video!

[@PhilCrockett]

Glad I could help

I purchased this because of your video after weighing all options of guides. This will help significantly. I have a 14’ v-hull with a tiller motor and the stern drifts away on me as soon as I hook up the front. The trailer has a crossbar up towards the front which prevents me from having the bunks too far out of the water; otherwise I’d have the trailer further out of the water to prevent that problem

[@h0ckeypuck]

Just what I was looking for. Very well done and helpful!

[@PhilCrockett]

Great to hear!

[@hikerccter9036]

I wasn't sure I should order these or not. After your video I' am sold! Thanks.

[@PhilCrockett]

My pleasure!

My boat sits rather low in the trailer its a V hull. So i guess to protect the boat one could cut off the extended (unused ) portion of the large board braces that extend under the boat. But even with a flat bottom i think it might be possible to damage the hull if the boat came in contact with the end of those braces. So i would still trim them off if you are going to use that trailer for that same boat forever. Thanks for the video

[@PhilCrockett]

Yes, every once in a while a fella has to customize things to fit their toys. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, Dave!

[@GmanfromTexas]

Very nice mod. I wonder if it would work on my tracker 170. I’m looking for a mod that would drive the boat strait to the winch.

[@PhilCrockett]

I don't know if this would work, but I imagine it would. I doubt it has anything to do with the size of the boat. It probably has more to do with the placement on the trailer

[@bigglyguy8429]

My boat is fatter in the middle than at the stern, so I went for the same thing but single and much shorter. But I'm wondering if I'll need another pair further up, near the fat middle..?

[@PhilCrockett]

dry fit everything to see how it looks before drilling. There's no rules on where to put it. Just do what works for your needs

[@alexmouzas]

I noticed you also had previously mounted roller guides on the trailer. I just bought a boat and trailer with none of these and trying to decide which ones to get. I only want one set. Which do you like or recommend as better? I have a 13' whaler. Thanks.

[@PhilCrockett]

Those actually came on the trailer when I bought it. Best thing to do, is to go to a dealer and ask them. OR...... just go to a boat lot and look at what is on the new trailers that compare with yours. Hope this helps.

[@Johndoe21256]

What about your bottom running boards?

[@rogermuir5609]

How far away should bunk boards be from a fiberglass boat?

[@PhilCrockett]

A couple inches at max

[@rogermuir5609]

Thank you!!

[@PhilCrockett]

no prob, Roger!

[@nathanehlers2114]

Where do I find this kit and how much is it ?

[@PhilCrockett]

I dropped a link in this video description. Hopefully that will help.

[@Dirk-gg1nv]

This unit sucks. The brackets bend very easily when your boat rubs against them.

[@PhilCrockett]

interesting.... mine is still going strong and I use it a lot. I wonder if you got a lemon.

[@Dirk-gg1nv]

@@PhilCrockett they scratched the shit out of my boat. Damaged gelcoat. Im taking them off . I have an M hull. Maybe thats why. It’s not a lemon. I got spare parts from E trailer and the same shit happened.

[@PhilCrockett]

wow! that does suck! I don't blame ya for ditching them. I love mine, but as you can see, my boat is a floating pie tin. It's all scratched up from years on the Missouri River. It's a brutal river!

[@Dirk-gg1nv]

@@PhilCrockett they do help align the boat on the trailer. But with my particular situation, it has its flaws
