Compatibility of Aluminum Boat with Roller Bunks on Trailer Instead of Bunk Boards
Updated 12/10/2018 | Published 12/08/2018
Question:
I called up the place that sold me my trailer that I am having issues with and they told me that rollers damage the bottom of aluminum boats. Are these safe to use on my trailer for my 2008 grizzly tracker 1860 SC, or will they do some damage to the bottom?

The Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk - 4' Long # DL21740 will be safe to use on your trailer with your 2008 Grizzly Tracker 1860 SC aluminum boat. You can see in the attached video that they are used for and aluminum boat.
Damage can only really be caused by user error like overloading a boat while on the trailer. The roller bunks have 3 rollers as opposed to two rollers so the weight will be better distributed and there are rollers every 9.6 inches on center so you will not have issues under normal use.
