"Off topic, but a lot you guys should know.
Im tired of trailer maintenance, and thinkin of gettin rid of the rollers. Trailers about to get a major o-haul ne way. (rust)
Thinkin of goin to plastic/nylon/teflon blocks down the centre, or maybe a single long strip straight down the centre of the trailer... maybe a V shape to help centre boat to trailer. boat weighs about 2000 kgs.
The boat, Fibreglass, 23ft Bertram, Mercruiser 260.
Trailer now, lotsa 12in centre keel rollers with those wobbly wheels down each side where the original bunks were.
Im concerned about friction with solid blocks, but something else must be better than rollers that lock up as soon as they feel the weight of the boat. Ive seen trailers with out rollers, anyone have experience with this?"
