Bunk Glide Ons

Assembly Instructions Part # 86162/86172

Thank you for purchasing the Long Run Self Centering Bunk Glide Ons. Please read and review the following instructions
before starting the assembly. With proper care, the Bunk Glide Ons will give you years of service.

Four 50” Bunk Glide On’s and mounting screws are included in this package. The Glide Ons are to be used on 2x4 bunk board
lumber without any carpeting between the Glide Ons and wood.

1. Remove any carpet or other covering materials from bunk boards. Remove any brackets, screws, staples or other
materials in order to have a clean work surface on top and both sides of the bunk boards.

2. Position the Bunk Glide Ons so that the two left and the two right bunks are facing inward and downward (see Fig. 1).

3. Starting at the rear of the trailer, slide one of the Bunk Glide Ons onto the 2x4 lumber with the open side to the middle
of the bunk board. Push the Glide On section onto the lumber until it is almost flush with the end of the bunk board (see Fig 2).

4. Attach the first half of the bunk with the self taping screws into the reinforced areas indicated on the sides of the
Glide Ons.

5. Slide the forward matching side Glide On up to the flush end of the secured Glide On.

6. Attach the second half with the self taping screws into the reinforced areas indicated on the sides of the Glide Ons. The
Bunk Glide Ons may extend over the front end of the bunk, that's OK (not over the rear).

7. Repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 for the opposite side bunk.

Note: Due to the slippery nature of the Bunk Glide Ons, some boat & trailer combinations such as “float on” type trailers, it is
better to place the Glide Ons on the back half of the bunk boards and carpet on the front half of the bunk boards (see Fig. 3).
This allows a fast slippery launch while allowing some holding initially when the tension is released on the winch line.
