Loose bunk bolts

[gonefishie]

Hey guys, just wanted to let ya'll know about something worth looking into. I was replacing the tires on my trailer and while sitting on the ground doing the work I noticed one of the bolt holding the bunk to the frame was loose. I tightened that bolt and decided to check the rest. Only 3 out of the 10 bolts holding the bunks in place were tight. Some of them had back out a full turn. I guess it only natural for bolt to back out of wood caused by vibration after so long.

I noticed that when one of the bunks floated away - luckily I was able to rescue it - that's another reason to always have a couple bungie cords in the boat.
