Caliber 23050-BK Black 16' x 2" x 4" Bunk Wrap Kit with End Caps

I used these on my Sun Tracker Fishin Barge trailer. It's funny, one of the product images is my exact trailer. My trailer is a 2016 and the wood had rotted already. I live in NM and bought it used out of Kansas where it's more humid. I am not a fan of carpet, though I know it has been used for years (my grandfather did upholstery for a living, so I helped him with a lot of boats growing up). I was pointed in the direction of this product and decided to go with it. My only complaint, why didn't I think of this! I was able to change all of my outside bunk boards at home. I just had to change the two long runners at the lake (pictured) with the boat off the trailer. I know most people will have to do this at the lake. In one of the pictures the bunk is dirty. It is not wear and tear on the wrap. It's dry and dusty where I live. This was actually the first time I had the boat off the trailer since I installed the new wood and wrap. For the installation I changed a few things from the OEM setup. The OEM setup came with lag bolts. I kept losing them on the highway due to the deteriorated wood. I decided to use countersunk carriage bolts this time. Hillman makes an anti-turn washer that I used to keep the carriage bolt from turning. I bought these local hardware store. I couldn't find them here. The same with the bolts. I also used treated lumber from a major retailer. I was told that the chemicals used in treated wood today do not etch aluminum anymore. That's a bonus, but even with these wraps drying so fast and not keeping the wood soaked like carpet, I shouldn't have that problem anyways. I used a drill bit to drill the holes for the 3/8 carriage bolts to go through. After that, I used a 1 1/8 spade bit to make the "recessed" hole for my washer and carriage bolt. You do not want the head of the bolt rubbing your boat bottom. I am adding pictures to help. Once the bolts were installed, follow the directions included for attaching the bunk wrap. My only regret is probably using the galvanized bolts/lock washers/nuts. I probably should have used stainless steel. However, that shouldn't be too hard to change out in the future, as the wraps just unscrew. I hope this helps.

Excellent installation instructions enabled installation in about 1hr 20min. Tip... lay the cover out in the sun for 19-15 min before installing to take the roll out, so that the cover lies flat. This product worked very well for facilitating the launch and recovery of our 15' aluminum fishing boat.

Assez simple d installer

The bunk wrap arrived in a box that contained everything I needed for installation. The wrap came with concise, easy to follow instructions. Seems to be a high quality product and has a lifetime guarantee.

Fairly easy to install once it gets flattened out. Could have used a few more screws in the package but it’s not a deal breaker. It’s a bit pricey but I hope it makes up for replacing rotten bunks and carpet that leaves the wood wet. Time will tell.
