Expert Reply:

The boat rollers not rolling and instead dragging show an issue with the roller wheel. You can either work with grease to free the movement of the wheel or you can replace the wheel. If you have roller bunks, you either will want to replace the wheel # DL203228 or the entire roller bunk # DL21754.

If you have wobble wheels then # DL21564 or # YR530R-8P are the replacement to consider based on size.
