Bevelled Trailer Rollers ??
I'm got a bit of an issue when loading the boat with the squarish inside edge of the rear rollers binding on the strakes.
It eventually pulls over the strakes, but puts a fair strain on the rear rocker setup before letting go with a fair ol' ping.
I can stop it by getting the trailer deeper, but then it stuffs up the roller guidance, floats too much and doesn't touch the keel rollers until the boat's at least half way on.
This is a PITA if there's a cross wind or wave, where the keel can miss the keel rollers.
Extra PITA as I often launch & retrieve the by myself.
So I need to make it easier for the strake to cross over the roller.
I'm sure I've seen some rollers with bevelled edges before, but now I'm actually looking for them I'm stuffed if I can find any !
Called into a trailer mob in Wangara last week and they could't help either.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about and where I can get some it'd be great if you can help with some info.
Thanks,
Dizz.

Awesome Nico, that's even
Awesome Nico, that's even better (wider) than what I had in mind, hopefully they can bolt straight on and replace the existing wobble rollers.
(The ones I was thinking of were standard width, but with the shoulders knocked off the rollers.)
I'll check them out, thanks :)
