Keel rollers

[Bonita Dan]

Some might say the boat needs to rest on the rollers and some don't. Mine only has pads to prevent clobbering the trailer directly when loading and offloading. Our tide is usually only 6" down here with a big one being 12". Don't most of the folks up north have full roller trailers since the tides are so extreme?

I had bunk and roller trailers before and did not find much difference between them as far as launching/retreiving the boat.

keel rollers should not touch the hull once loaded or the boat can tend to rock when towing only used for loading and unloading to protect the keel, hints keel roller

That makes sence but would they ever touch when loading/unloading? iI have about 1 1/2" space between boat and keel rollers. I'm asking because they are broken apart, they are there but hardly turn, should i change them?

Change them, they will be contacting the bow when used at a ramp.
