Rollers
Submitted by lawndered on Sun, 2013-12-01 18:17
Just hoping to gain some wisdom from the guys with a heap more experience than me.
Firstly the keel/centerline of the hull on my 2yo new first boat :) is getting a hammering from some contact with the trailer, a Dunbier. There are some deep scratches all through. I thoughth I had solved the problem thinking the hull was catching on one side of the mounting that holds the centre rear roller and so I filed the sharp 90 degree corner down a little, I'm thinking of taking more off. Also the centre rollers are what looks like the soft black cheapie ones.
My question is has anyone had the same issue?
And also I think I will change the centre roller to a harder? type.. not sure so looking for some advice. Can do pics later if needed.
Thanks

Yes, yes it does shit ya.
Yes, yes it does shit ya. With the amount that you have to spend for a decent trailer you would hope that would get quality rollers included. I changed mine almost 2 years ago, and wish I had done it earlier.
