| "be careful with silicone spray".....It may make your boat really slick....really slick.
Recently my brother-in-law purchased a new Alumacraft modified-v bass boat with an Alumacraft trailer. When he went to launch the boat, it wouldn't slide off the trailer. I mean it was really stuck on it. Not only would it not slide, but the bunks weren't built correctly for the boat. I have a hard time trying to understand why Alumacraft wouldn't know and correct the problems.
The dealer added some shims under the bunks and sprayed the bunks with silicone, as well as, adding a safety chain to the winch. It's best NOT to unhook the winch until the boat is touching the water. Of course, my brother-in-law did not. The bunks were definately slick.
I've been told the bunks with rollers should NOT be used with aluminum boats with rivets. The silicone spray sounds the cheapest way to make the bunks slick. Remember to keep the boat hooked to the trailer until the boat touches the water.
