Location: Germantown, WI | I have always used a bunk trailer and got it for my new boat as well. However, with so many Wisconsin lakes being down over the last 5-10 years, launching/loading isn't getting any easier. Someone i met told me about this product that you spray on the bunks and reduces friction so they go on/off much easier..... anyone out there try this product or something similar? What is your experience with them- good/bad/inbetween?

| I used it on a 22' sport boat with a six bunk Prestige trailer years ago and it worked really good. It made getting it on and off the trailer much easier. You need to spray it on and let it dry completely so it's best to do it right after you launch the boat for the day.

Location: Germantown, WI | that was one thing i was wondering surf n turf- when i would do it? i might just wait until August when i'm on vacation and boat is off the trailer for 7 straight days. do bunks need to be dry before applying?
Thanks for the response here, also looking for others as well. |

| I have used silicon spray, which works pretty good as well. I think it works best if you apply it when the bunks are dry, but I just spray mine on after I pull out when they're wet. It seems to last about 8-10 trips to the lake before I need to reapply. Maybe this liquid roller stuff lasts a little longer.
Do not unhook your winch/safety strap until your in the water. I'm used to this coming from a roller trailer, but have heard horror stories about guys that always had glass boats and unhook everything first before backing up. I can't imagine how it would feel to see your nice sparkly boat sitting on the pavement.

Location: NW WI | Not familiar with Liquid Rollers, but spraying the bunks often with silicon has always helped my boats slide off and on. |
