Question:
Even when we dont have a drought, pontoons can be hard to launch with the shallow ramps. My question is, how much will the rollers help if i cant float my pontoon off. It is only a 16 ft with a 9.9 HP, but it is very high up. I can get the back in the water, but not float it.

Expert Reply:
A couple sets of the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk - 5' Long Sections - 12 Sets of 3 Rollers # DL21741 will drastically help with getting your pontoon boat on and off the trailer smoothly and easily as there isn't any friction compared to bunk boards. This will make it easy to get the back of your pontoon in the water while supporting the weight. You will want to make sure that you keep your winch connected and back it down if you have a large drop because the boat will want to come off the rollers quickly due to the weight and angle.
As long as the water is deep enough to keep the boat up, I recommend these roller bunks because they will make the loading and unloading into the water easy even if its shallow. Most reviews of this product are about ease of launching and needing to be careful the boat doesn't leave without you.
If you need brackets and bolts, you may want to consider the Boat Trailer Roller Bunk Bracket # DL21742 and U-bolts like # CE15283GA.
