My brother said, "The trailer rollers don't look right, come take a look." Just as I was motoring up to the trailer in a crosswind. I cursed his timing, but I am glad he looked.
After busting out the air chisel, I found another that was even WORSE! Five layers of galvanizing spray paint can cover up stuff like this. It looked pretty good before the air chisel attack, but I could bend it in my hands. That would have left a mark, had it collapsed. Even on a Potter hull. |

Rollers went out with bell bottoms. Get yourself a bunk trailer.

Brian,
Bunk trailers often don't work at low tide in the NE because of the large tidal range, so roller trailers are fairly popular up there. Some of the ramps also don't allow power loading. My 25 year old EZ Loader's original springs and axle also speak volumes about the low maintenance advantages of a good roller trailer that you don't have to dunk in saltwater! Fish, don't know what brand trailer you have, but suggest you consider replacing all those roller supports with the all aluminum EZ Loader type like those in picture below. If you also use rollers with the nylon bushings on the aluminum shafts along with SS washers, you'll have a zero maintenance setup on the rollers! Denny
