Spray on Easy on Boat Bunk Trailer
What is the stuff you spray on your trailer bunks to "grease them" ?
-
So in order to keep our bunks from scratching the bottom of the boat so much and make it easier to slide it off the trailer... I have heard of this stuff you can spray on the trailer bunks... Does anyone know what it is called?

Be careful with it, it is like greased lightening.
If the bunks are wet and you step on them you'll slip on your *** is a flashComment

Be sre to fully submerge all trailer bunks and then pull the trailer back up to the proper loading depth prior to trying to load the boat. This will help w/ the scratches as well.

I use liquid rollers and love it! But, don't ever unhook the boat until you are fully in the water at the launch or you run the risk of leaving your boat ON the launch.

Just put some liquid car wax on your bunks. Works Great.

Any idea if Liquid Rollers could cause any harm to the fiberglass if used for years and years?

Make sure whatever you use does not have silicone in it. You don't want something that will trap water against your hull.
I have used spray wax on occasion. Never unhook your boat until you have part of it in the water if you decide to lubricate your bunks.

I love that stuff. So slick, you can push the boat off the trailer (while launching).

The cost of the Liquid Rollers turned me off, so I tried Turtle Wax (the quickie spray stuff). Grabbed it at Wal-Hell for a few bucks and seems to work great so far. Perhaps not as great as Liquid Rollers, but a cheap alternative.

I'll third that! Couldn't find and LL locally and needed to do something that day. Bought some wax blown away at the difference it made. Cheap and multiple use. AGAIN...DO NOT UNHOOK THE BOAT FROM THE TRAILER UNTIL IT IS IN THE WATER. I didn't drop mine, but thank god I put a new strap on it.

Ya it is unbelievable how good it works. I just squirt the same stuff I use to wax the boat on the bunks and spread around with my hand. Doesn't take much and lasts all season.

Referenced this site today as I HATE putting the boat on the trailer, so afraid of scratching, wrecking, ruining something expensive! Decided to forgo the waxing/pledging. In attempting to get the trailer "aimed" just right (the landing is a mess with low water levels) my hubby had to back in the trailer numerous times. The boat went onto the trailer easier than ever. The only thing we did different was dunk the bunks numerous times. I'm sold on the dunk method. I'll save the wax for on the boat!

What kind of troubles you having gettign the boat on/off the trailer? Low water, can't back in deep enough?
Other than that condition I can't see needing any assistance loading a X2 (plus I wouldn't want to pull my boat on "rollers" uphill with just the winch strap keeping it from sliding off).
With the boat empty, I run the trailer fenders about 4-6" under water and that stops it on the bunks about a foot short of the bow bunk, then winch it up the rest of the way. Full boat is a different story, trailer's gotta be deeper. I try to get everyone out before loading onto the trailer.'06 X2 MCX
