CE Smith 26244GA Pontoon Wing Bracket, 7 Inch Adjustment Slot, Hot Dip Galvanized Steel
The CE Smith 26244GA Pontoon Wing Bracket is a bolster-style bracket built to support bunk boards in the shallow V cradle configuration that best suits pontoon hulls. Instead of the flat bunk arrangement used on standard V-hull trailers, pontoon trailers need bunk boards angled to cradle the boat's twin or triple tubes, and this wing bracket provides that angled support point. A 7 inch lateral adjustment slot lets the bracket slide to the exact position needed for precise pontoon-to-trailer alignment, so the bunk boards can be set to match the specific spacing of the pontoon hull being carried.
The bracket is stamped from 1/8 inch thick steel and hot dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in wet, trailered marine use. It is designed to be used with 2x6, 2x8, or 2x10 carpeted bunk boards laid flat, and CE Smith recommends installing one bracket at each frame cross member of the trailer for maximum support and load capacity. Because pontoon hulls concentrate weight differently than a single-hull boat, using enough brackets across the frame is what keeps the load stable and properly cradled during transport.
Overall bracket size is 15 3/4 inches by 2 inches by 6 inches, with a slot measuring 1/2 inch wide by 7 inches long. Each bracket weighs 2.6 pounds.
