Precut Strips Sold in Pairs

'Cuda's "Hull-Guard" Padding is PATENTED and Not Available Through Any Other Competitor. No Other Padding Compares!

Add Next-Level Protection and Performance to Your Boat Trailer with 1/4” Waterproof Marine Padding

Enhance the durability, cushioning, and longevity of your trailer bunk setup with this 1/4-inch thick waterproof marine padding—designed specifically to go between your boat trailer bunk boards and the carpeting that supports your hull. Whether you’re launching, loading, or trailering across long distances, this specialized underlayment provides a crucial layer of protection for both your boat and your trailer.

Crafted from closed-cell, waterproof marine-grade foam, then sprayed with an antimicrobial to eliminate growth of mold or rot, this padding acts as a shock-absorbing barrier that reduces impact, eliminates chafing, and helps prolong the life of your bunk carpeting by preventing direct contact with rough wood surfaces. It’s engineered to withstand wet environments, resist mold and mildew, and stay firmly in place during use.

Installation

Simply install by either gluing (recommended) or stapling in place.  For glue down applications use the same Roberts 6700 adhesive, applied with an 1/8" inch notched trowel.  The Padding is also designed to have the carpeted glued down atop the padding as well if desired.

✅ Key Benefits Over Bunks Without Padding:

• Reduces Hull Abrasion: Softens the pressure between the carpet and the boat hull, minimizing scratches and wear during loading and unloading.

• Prolongs Carpet Life: Prevents friction between the bunk board and carpet backing—reducing tearing, punctures, and early deterioration.

• Adds Shock Absorption: Cushions bumps and vibrations during trailering to protect delicate fiberglass or gel-coated surfaces.

• Improves Drainage & Drying: Slight elevation allows moisture to drain more easily, helping to dry out the bunk area and reduce water retention.

• Blocks Mold & Mildew: The closed-cell waterproof foam resists moisture intrusion, preventing mold or rot from developing in or under your carpet.

• Thermal Barrier: Provides insulation between the carpet and hot wood bunk boards exposed to sun—preventing heat transfer to your hull.

• Easy Installation: Simply staple or glue the padding to the top of the bunk board before wrapping with carpet—fits seamlessly under most standard marine carpets.

Need a Longer Size?

Padding Can Be Installed one section after another to achieve total length required (For Example: An 20Ft long bunk board would require a 12' & 8' sections installed one in front of the other to achieve the 20' necessary).  Simply install by either gluing (recommended) or stapling in place.  We also sell larger bulk rolls that are 6Ft in width and either 5Ft long, 8Ft long, or 10Ft long for customers and DIYers to cut strips to their own desired width or total length.

This marine padding is ideal for DIYers and boat trailer manufacturers alike who want to increase the protection and professionalism of their setup. Don’t let hard wooden bunks ruin your investment—upgrade your bunks with a layer of smart protection that extends the life of both your trailer and your boat. Does not qualify for free shipping, a small shipping charge will be applied as it typically needs to be shipped separately.
