The best option for your boat to move better on and off your trailer is to use the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks # DL21741. These rollers make loading and launching your boat easy. They are available in 4 and 5 foot lengths, so I've linked a page to assist. You will also need the roller bunk brackets like # DL21742.

The attached video will also help you with the installation and operation. One note is that we recommend having a rope attached to your boat when using this for the first time as we have had customers surprised by the ease and how quickly they launched their boat when they were left behind on the dock.

Your other option is the CE Smith 90-Degree Bunk Board Guide-On Kit # CE27600K90 using bunk boards like # CE27820. These boards do come in different lengths and I've attached the link to assist.

Answer 5

I believe you are asking about the height from the top of the roller down to where the bracket would mount on a trailer. The #DL21741 is 2-1/2 inches for that dimension and then the #CE27710 is 2-13/16 inches. These are both hot dipped.
