C.E. Smith Square U-Bolt 1/2-13 Galvanized 15283GA
C.E. Smith Square U-Bolt 1/2-13 Galvanized 15283GA — Product description
The C.E. Smith 15283GA is a square-bend galvanized U-bolt for boat trailers, sized 3-13/16 in inside length by 3-1/16 in inside width with a 1/2 inch-13 thread. It ships with the matching nut and washer, so you've got the hardware ready to bolt to an axle, spring seat, or crossmember.
Every boat trailer has a few U-bolts holding the whole thing together, and when one starts to rust through you want the right replacement on hand. This is the C.E. Smith 15283GA, a square-bend galvanized U-bolt sized with a 3-13/16 inch inside length and a 3-1/16 inch inside width. The square bend seats flat against a square axle or crossmember, so it grips without rocking the way a round-bend bolt can on a flat surface.
It's cut with a 1/2 inch-13 thread on both legs and ships with the matching nut and washer for each side, so you're not hunting for hardware at the ramp. The galvanized steel finish is what you want on a trailer that spends its life backing into the water. It sheds salt and fresh water alike and holds off rust far longer than plain steel.
Good for axle mounts, spring mounts, and general trailer bracket work where you need a square U-bolt in this size. Measure your existing bolt's inside dimensions before ordering so the fit is right.

Frequently asked questions
What size is this U-bolt?
It has a 3-13/16 inch inside length, a 3-1/16 inch inside width, and a 1/2 inch-13 thread. Measure your existing bolt's inside dimensions to confirm the fit before ordering.
Does it come with a nut and washer?
Yes. It ships with the matching nut and washer, so you've got the hardware you need to bolt it up.
Is this a square-bend or round-bend U-bolt?
It's a square-bend U-bolt. The flat bend seats against square axles, crossmembers, or tubing without rocking, unlike a round bend on a flat surface.
Will the galvanized finish hold up to saltwater?
Galvanized steel is built for trailer duty and resists rust from both salt and fresh water. Rinse your trailer after every saltwater launch to get the longest life out of any hardware.
