Question? Anybody use plastic on trailer bunks to slide boat

[FishVomit]

boat trailer bunks, boat trailer bunk, trailer bunk carpet, plastic trailer bunks covers, Snaptraxx

you can mix and match the grips and slips.

King trailers uses what they call "SLick Bunks"- it is a Polypropolene material that replaces the carpet on the 2 x 6 bunks. Works better than rollers. DO not unhoo the bow strap until you are at the water, as the boat can slide off.

I tried the silicon and it allowed the boat to come onto the trailer with minimum resistance. I still need to see if I can come off the trailer with the same ease.

A friend of mine told me that the Navy did these several years ago. They lost a few launches on the unload part. They changed the process and now never deal with carpet; at all.

It's a hard to learn upgrade. But it's well worth it for the larger boats. If you've got a smaller boat, keep what works for you.

I've seen a few hulls that the carpet ripped on the unload and the fasteners for the wood dug a trough in the hull on the way out.
