Using Bunk Rollers Like # DL21741 on PWC Trailer

Question:

Can I use these roller bunks to replace my flat carpet covered wood skids on my PWC trailer. I have a twin boat Voyager trailer.

The roller bunks can certainly be used to replace the bunk boards on your PWC trailer, I use them on my PWC trailer and they work very well. You will need to ensure that the profile on the bottom of your PWC can handle the extra width of the rollers. Where the end of the 2 x 4 that the PWC rests on is typically 1.5 inches thick, these rollers would be 4-3/4 inches wide. You would need to ensure that portion of the hull that the bunks ride against are is wide enough to so that the rollers would ride flat against the bottom of the PWC.

I would recommend using part # DL21755 instead. These rollers are not as wide, and would slip over the ends of the existing bunks. They would most likely work better for you. Before installing, you would need to remove the existing carpet from the bunks. For corrosion resistance, I would recommend using stainless steel hardware to attach the roller to the existing bunk boards.
