Hello Eric, The #K2R35DKG is Dacromet-coated, and the calipers are treated with KodaGuard. The #K2R35DS, on the other hand, is made entirely of stainless steel, hence the higher price. If you're in an area where road salt is common or if…
The best way to determine the height needed is to measure from the top of your trailer frame to the top of the sides of your boat. If the 40" Tall Guide-Ons #CE27626 sit right at or slightly above the sides of your boat then the shorter will…

Boat trailer parts are crucial for ensuring your boat is safely and efficiently transported. From rollers and brackets to bunk boards and carpet, each component plays a vital role. Consider the weight and type of your boat, as well as the conditions you'l
Regular maintenance is crucial. Check for rust, especially on metal parts, and apply protective coatings if necessary. Tighten any loose bolts and replace worn-out parts promptly. Store your trailer in a dry place to prevent deterioration of wood and carpet components.
Choose brackets made from corrosion-resistant materials like galvanized steel, especially if you use your trailer in saltwater. Proper installation is key; ensure they are securely fastened to prevent movement. Regularly inspect for wear and tear, especially after harsh weather or long storage periods.
Upgrading bunk boards can provide better support and protection for your boat. High-quality carpeted boards reduce friction and prevent scratches. Ensure the boards are securely fastened to avoid any movement during transport, which can lead to damage or misalignment.
When selecting rollers, consider the weight and type of your boat. Rollers should be sturdy enough to support your boat's weight and facilitate easy loading and unloading. Opt for high-quality materials to avoid damage to your boat's hull, especially in windy conditions or when dealing with heavy boats.
A good trailer step should provide a stable and safe platform for accessing your boat. Look for steps that are easy to install and made from durable materials. They should be positioned conveniently to assist with solo launching and loading, enhancing your overall boating experience.
