10 lb. Aluminum Cradle Weight Kit

The 10 lb. Aluminum Cradle Weight Kit adds weight to aluminum boat cradles to keep them from floating while using wooden bunks. The 5/8 in. x 5 in. Stainless Steel Hex Bolt, 1/2 thread is designed to fit standard 6 in. aluminum I-beams. For larger cradle beams you will need to furnish a longer bolt.
