Question:
I have two 4foot roller bunks mounted to 2x4s and attached by 1x3s to put against the rock incline of my shore line. I want to make additional tracks to put my wooden rowing boat on once it is past those bunks yes, I have a winch and am looking for the rollers that have some kind of mount that I can attach to the top, or side, of the 2x4. Not being familiar with this kind of equipment the search is proving difficult. Do you carry such parts?

Expert Reply:
What I recommend is a set of roller bunks, # DL21741, that you can attach to the 2x4s. We actually had a customer do a similar project. I have included a picture showing his set up.
These rollers are rated for 3,000 pounds and they are 5 feet long. You may need more than one set depending on your exact needs.
