Ubolt 1/2 x 2 1/16 x 6 13/16
The Ubolt 1/2 x 2 1/16 x 6 13/16 is a galvanized square U-bolt measuring 1/2-inch thread diameter by 2-1/16-inch inside width by 6-13/16-inch leg length, used for clamping the axle to the leaf springs on Magic Tilt boat trailers, available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. This is one of the larger U-bolts in the Magic Tilt suspension system — the 1/2-inch thread provides serious clamping strength, the 2-1/16-inch inside width wraps around the axle tube, and the 6-13/16-inch leg length accommodates the axle, spring stack, and spring plate with enough thread remaining for proper nut engagement. The galvanized finish resists the corrosion that destroys standard zinc-plated U-bolts after repeated saltwater and brackish water launches at Bayou Segnette State Park, Lake Pontchartrain, and the ramps throughout Jefferson Parish and the Greater New Orleans West Bank.
Louisiana boat trailer owners who inspect their suspension hardware understand that U-bolts are under constant stress — they clamp the axle to the springs with thousands of pounds of preload, and every pothole, every bump, every loaded mile on Interstate 10, Highway 90, the Westbank Expressway, and the rough roads between Westwego, Marrero, Harvey, and Gretna cycles that stress through the U-bolt. Corrosion from saltwater submersion weakens the bolt cross-section over time, reducing the clamping force until the axle shifts on the springs. The precise dimensions on this U-bolt matter — the 2-1/16-inch inside width must match the axle diameter, and the 6-13/16-inch leg length must clear the full spring stack with enough thread for the nuts. An undersized U-bolt won't fit, an oversized one won't clamp properly, and the wrong leg length leaves either too little thread engagement or insufficient clearance. Whether you're Fishing Fanatic Frank replacing corroded U-bolts during a suspension service, a marine repair shop stocking the exact Magic Tilt U-bolt specs for customer service in Greater New Orleans, or Captain Chris replacing suspension hardware across fleet trailers, this galvanized U-bolt is the exact fit.
At $8.59, this galvanized U-bolt provides corrosion-resistant axle clamping at an affordable price. Measure your existing U-bolts before ordering — inside width and leg length must match. Always replace U-bolts in pairs for uniform clamping on both sides of the axle. Nuts sold separately if not purchasing the complete U-bolt kit. Perfect for suspension maintenance, U-bolt replacement, axle service, and Magic Tilt trailer repair throughout Southeast Louisiana.
