Wobble rollers what colour
Hi good people,
can some one please help me with advise on the fitting of wobble rollers to my trailer.
I have a 6 metre quinnie on a traileze trailer which now requires a bit of repair. One of the things I would like to do whilst I have the boat of the trailer is to fit a wobble roller set up, now what I need to know is this.
What colour wobble rollers are for what purpose/type of hull.
What diameter rollers should I get.
How much weight is supported on the rollers, from what I can make out 99% of the boat weight is supported on the keel rollers and the wobble rollers on the sides carry very little weight.
Is this right.
I have thought about how many rollers I will need for each side and have come up with 3 sets of double rollers for each side all mounted on fore and aft roller brackets. That is 4 rollers each bracket in a fore and aft configuration, does that sound about right for my size boat.
Any and all suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you in anticipation for your much appreciated answers.

Roller colour
Blue are hard for alloy, but can damage fibreglass.
Red soft for fiberglass, or black.
Bushes for rollers = Bunnings electrical conduit.

generally as the guys above
generally as the guys above said.
but the keel rollers also wont support any weight while the boat is on the trailer. most are set up so wobble rollers support 100% of weight(keel rollers just for launch and retrieve)
+1 for martins trailers ...they have helped me in the past
