Is it possible to change my boat trailer from a center roller type to a bunk style trailer I have a 13’ boston whaler.

Expert Reply:
Yes, it is possible to switch from center rollers to bunk rollers on a boat trailer. For this, you will first need to remove the center rollers and then you can install a set of bunk rollers, part # CE27710 along with part # CE10000G-4 to support the hull. Then, in order to support both the port and starboard sides you can use part # CE27600.
I have attached a photo of a similar setup with bunk boards instead of bunk rollers for the hull. In addition to the above you will also need to have a bow support like the CE Smith Keel Roller Assembly part # CE32003G which you could then attach to the CE Smith Winch Stand part # CE31013G. For a new winch, you can use the Fulton Single Speed Trailer Winch part # F142007.
