redo trailor bunks ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   How do you replace the bunks on a 1982 cc nautique 2001 ? Can you just used treated 2 x 4 rs and bend them by hand with the curve ? Then bolt them on with what type of hardware ? The main question is , how do you cut them to slant ? Has anyone not used the slant and just used a 2 x 4 without a problem ? The slant I,m    talking about is the edge cut off the 2 x 4.Thanks ,Dan

	Treated wood would be a good choice. I have heard that the wood will take on the curve with the weight of the boat, don't know for a fact as I haven't had to replace mine. Use stainless carriage bolts and nuts. The slant can be done with atable saw. Use your old ones to get the angle set and rip em.

	Treated wood is fine...or better yet, cypress(sp?) Be sure to use BUNK carpet...boat slides on much better!

	I would suggest if you going to keep it a while longer to use a good grade paintable silicone caulking (or something similar) To seal the water out between the bunk and the steel trailer frame when assembling it. This keeps the trailer steel from rusting under the wood and prevents the brown stains/streaks. Jeff...

	dans, I just got a 82SN also, I need to do the bunks but am rebuilding the carb right now. Do you have the low boy trailer or the regular? I think treated wood will work fine. Mine needed to be rebuilt but I had some other projects to do first on the boat so i bought some bunk carpet at the local boat shop ($10.00) for a roll, cut in half length wise and stapled it on the existing wood without removing it. It is a temporary fix but looks 100% better than before.

	I don't have a low boy . My problem is the bolts and screws are falling off and the bunks are popping off at the ends of the suports. The other day the bunk popped off the back and the hull was on the steel and it scratched it up good . I have fixed it with rope until I can fix it right.

	Jeff...the silcone thing is a good idea, I wonder if you could use sill plate foam...the stuff that goes on the sill plates of a house??? Should work and would be easy. I may give it a try.

	Stang72, that would certaily help. I stuck with the paintable 50 yr silicone since It keeps the water out of the bolt holes on the wood/steel when launching. I also trowled it on the heads of the bolts (I actually used stainless threaded rod and welded on stainless "T" nuts instead of the carriage bolts for more surface area and the big advantage of the head not spinning out) before the carpet to eliminate the pocket for water to sit and rot the wood.
