I had this happen a year ago. BCB sent me a new trailer bunk. I installed it and the same screws on the same bunk port side, pulled loose and almost fell out.Any others seem to have this happen? I guess I can replace the lag bolts with a pair of large diameter bolts, not longer ones . But My buddy has a 2012 and never had his bolts ever work loose. It the same side very back two?2014 Puma FTD 250 XS

Its pretty common for the lag bolts in bunks to loosen over time. Not just Basscat but all wooden bunks on boat trailers. Nature of the beast. Stripped out is a bit different. When you installed that bunk, did you have to pull it hard to align it and install it under a lot of pressure? If you did, that would sure play a part if it started to loosen.

We have almost zero trouble with bunks that are in good condition. It is either over tightened and stripped or not set properly, usually the later.
