Best lube for rollers on a boat trailer?
Submitted by Browny on Tue, 2011-06-14 15:33
Anyone got any opinions on the best lube for boat rollers on the trailer?
Are the spraycan options better/worse than hand applied lube?
Thx.
Browny.

Some not freely turning. Probably best to just replace tho!

roller or shaft
try replacing the shafts with stainless if possible! otherwise clean the shafts if this doesnt work your roller may be bent some rollers have internal steel tubes and these can get bent which will also stop the roller from spinning!

In my experience if you lube
In my experience if you lube up the rollers, then it just end up all over the hull of your boat. The water and wind will eventually spread it around. I'm with the other comments, Stainless is the go
