This heavy duty Aluminum hat bracket is a perfect replacement for aluminum boat trailers.  It is made out of aluminum that is 3/8” thick at the mounting surface and a 1/4" thick on the bottom plate. It can be used in conjunction with a V-guide set up or bunk board supports. Typically this item will fit on a trailers cross member that is 3”x 3” square tube.  The hole spacing center hole to center hole measures 3 5/8”.  You will need to use a u-bolt that is 1/2" diameter and 3" wide  on the inside.  This hat bracket is used to clamp front v-guides or bunk boards that use 2" x 2" square tubing for their support.

The perfect combination would be this Aluminum Bracket, mounted to an aluminum cross-member, with stainless steel U-Bolts. We have these available as an add on to this item.
