Your boat trailer most likely has carpeted covered boards called bunks that protect the hull of your boat during transportation, loading and unloading of your boat.
How to re-carpet your boat trailer bunk
Step 1: Strip away the old carpet and remove any remaining staples or screws that were holding down the old carpeting.
Step 2: Once the wooden bunks are revealed, inspect them for any signs of damage or rot and replace them if necessary. Replace any old rusty hardware as well if necessary; be sure to take the parts with you to the hardware store to make sure you get the right sizes.
Step 3: Lightly sand the bunks with the sandpaper to make sure there are no rough edges that could cut through the new carpet.
Step 4: Measure the dimensions of the bunks and add 3 inches to each dimension. Trace these to the back of the new carpet and cut 2 pieces out using the utility knife.
Step 5: Drape the carpet over the bunks lining up the edges and keeping the carpet centered. Keep the seam on the bottom side away from the side that contacts the boat, and not on the same side that the bunks attach to the frame.
Step 6: Hold the Bunk Board Carpet in place and use the staple gun to secure the carpet. Staple every 2 to 3 inches starting at one edge and working to the other. Only staple the bottom and sides of the bunk. You don’t want to scratch the finish on your boat from a staple that might sit a little too high. Fold over the edges of the carpet before stapling them and cut away the excess carpet with the utility knife. This will keep the new carpet from catching or tearing.
Step 7: Maintain your trailer! You have invested a lot of money into your boat and maintenance is an important component to keeping it in top shape. Maintenance of your trailer is just as important as maintaining your boat to help protect your investment during transportation, loading and unloading.
