New Trailer Bunkers

[orangediablo]

Got two big ol' pieces of white oak to replace my existing bunkers.  Should I be sealing these with anything?  Keep them raw and wrap in carpet?  What carpet is recommended?  In case is makes a difference, boat gets lifted onto trailer in September, sits all winter, and get's put back in water in May.

White oak very durable wrt water.  I used it on my homemade kicker bracket.  Just make sure you attach them with stainless or brass screws.  DON"T use iron or galvanized screws. (Tanin reacts with iron) Any outdoor carpet should be fine.

O stainless bolts and staples all the way
