Today I noticed while putting the boat back on the trailer that the front left bunk board had lost the bolt holding it in place. Upon further inspection I found that the board had rotted and that's why the bolt come out.

Just wanted some opinions on whether anyone has replaced their on boards and carpet and if so how hard of a job is it. I presume that pressure treated wood is the best to use and I have found a supplier for carpet 8in x 12ft. It appears that my existing bolts were lag bolts that simply screwed in from the bottom approx 1 inch into the bunk. Would it not be best to install a countersunk bolt all the way through the board with a washer and nut on the bottom. This would not put as much pressure on the bolt itself.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim
