As you may observe, an 8 ft roller bunk would have made it more simple to install! Two 4ft would not be a good idea as the angle iron would have still be necessary.

I have the 3,000 # model and it is exactly what I needed to make loading and unloading my Tracker Pro V 165 simpler. I don't need to back my trailer nearly as far back in the water so I don't get wet feet every time I go fishing.

After a year of using my roller bunks, I can say that I will never have another boat trailer that is not equipt with them. The ease of lauching and loading my rig is fantactic.

Combined bunk rollers and a keel roller (along with a winch and some lumber) to create an easy way to lift and store our 22' kayak. Works like a dream!

I received the roller bunkers but had to wait a few weeks to install them and try them out. I put the 5' roller bunks on 8' carpeted, wooden bunks as your instructions suggested (centered). Once I had the hardware it was a simple process. I took my boat out of the water and could not believe how much easier it was. After I serviced my boat I put it back into the water. I basically had to hold the crank handle to keep the boat from sliding into the water too quickly. I am so pleased with this product, and the best part...I didn't even get my truck tires wet.

Did you have to adjust the height of the 8 bunk board and where on the bunk board did you install them? Front, middle, or the back?Dave

I built a double JetSki trailer and needed bunkers. So after considerations of lastability, durability and ease of use I decided to go with roller bunks. My first Jetski I purchased I had to actually pick up off the ground but the strap on the either Jetski and simply started cranking. With the roller bunkers the ski got right on this is with one man picking up unit with nothing but a strap!! This wasnt a kids 1500cc Jetski laying on the ground either I simply cranked & rolled it straight up onto the bunks no problem! Since this time I’ve had orders of 12 trailers to be manufactured! Ill never have to replace boards or carpet or worry about them breaking in travel and crushing hulls!
Love it

@FrederickD They work great, don't they? What type of boat are you carrying?
by: Mike M06/06/2016
Installed these on my existing boat ramp. I poured a 'V' groove like a curb and installed. At the top I installed a 3 ton winch. I pull my 28 foot pontoon boat out of the Gulf of Mexico no problem. I enjoy watching the neighbors eyes light up in envy. Great product and easy to install. One note: I shoot them with white lithium grease regularly due to being in the salt climate.
by: David08/24/2018
First off, I alway wanted a set of these, but couldn’t justifying installing them when there was nothing wrong with my stock bunks, and my boat was never a issue to put on/off the trailer. WAS I EVER WRONG!!!
I have an 2014 Lund WC-14 that spends most of it’s life on my trailer. It is used in fresh and salt water and always well rinsed after use.
A short while after putting it in the water for the first time this year, I noticed a pin hole leak in the hull. The boat is in show room condition, so I couldn’t believe my eyes. When I got it back home, I pulled the boat off the trailer to find that the aluminum hull was starting to pit where the trailers carpet coated bunks make contact. Everywhere else was still like new. After fixing the hull with JB weld marine, I had to find a way to prevent this from happening again. The only answer was to use a bunk that does not hold moisture. After doing some research, I decided on the 5’ Dutton-Lainson roller bunks. Super easy installation using the same mounts as the old carpet bunks. I pulled off the old bunks and bolted these to the old brackets. I did have to lower the mount brackets to keep them at the same height as my old bunks. No big deal. Less than a hour later, done. I can roll the boat back and forth on the trailer with one hand now, and moisture should not be a problem.

Using these on a homemade jet ski ramp on my pier and they are excellent. Tried this with just carpet on the rails and it actually broke the strap. I can now raise the jet ski from the water turning the crank with one hand.

Still working great. I would definitely buy them again.
by: Bo04/10/2017
I opened my new rollers today. They were exactly as pictured on the site. What you can't see from pictures is the quality of the materials. I expected the channel to be minimal strength and was surprised to see it is heavy duty! I ordered an additional pair. Only half done
by: Jayson L07/03/2016
Used your roller bunks to make a portable shore docking station. Project turned out great with the solid frame of the roller bunks. Saved me $$$ buying a kit from somewhere else!!
by: Warren04/09/2018
So far so good i give more info by end of july but so far just got boat sitting on them an it did roll pretty easy. shipping was so fast ordered it on monday and got that coming fri. Lindy A. was a life saver she help me above and beyond thank you Lindy

Product works well and has provided the required flexibility needed to unload and load my jet-ski into the bead of my truck.
by: Chuck Z.09/06/2011
Just wanted to brag on Papa's amazing boat ramp, built by his own bare hands, all in the name of fun. Behold and bask in it's glory!
The rollers work very well and all I lack in finishing the job is some stain to make it look professional.

This roller bunk has made launching and retrieving our rescue jet ski much safer and quicker!

Very Heavy Duty. Thankyou so very much for such a high quality product!! I will send pictures after installation.

No more replacing old rotten wood bunks and recarpeting.
Problems YES!!!!!, but not with installation of rollers. Bolts were all rusted and of course would not loosen sooo a large screwdriver and a hammer to split the rotten wood and then a hacksaw and vicegrips to cut the bolts
I started installing the outboard 5ft rollers first nooo problem, then the inside 10ft rollers (I bought 2ea 12" pieces of 1/4" angle iron for the center brackets where the 2ea 5' rollers would attach and now I'm ready to drill my holes but, the 2ea new 18 volt batterys are both dead (I just charged them both the day before) luckly I had my doz-all saw with me but, I had been using it to trim tree branches and it showed only 1/2 a charge left.
Take a chance or leave the boat in the lake over night. (Now my wife wants to know just how much longer is this going to take)
I live 75 miles away. I needed to drill 4 holes through 1/4" steel. I thought I would give it a try until the battery has nothing left.
Thank God I had sharp drill bits (3 different size bits for each hole) Just as I was finishing the last hole, again I hear HOW much longer!!!!!
Well the rollers look great and work great!!!!!! Much easier to launch, and when trailering I don't need to back into the water as far and, they center the boat better when putting the boat on the trailer.
This is the second trailer that I have put rollers on. (I didn't have this many problems and my wife wasn't there).
If you're thinking of changing to rollers I'm sure you'll be happy, just be prepaired with every thing you need and give yourself time about 1 1/2 hours and, if its hot - - you might think about leaving the wife else where!!!!! I should have had my wife take pictures. Sorry about that!!

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!

Since I’ve used the rollers for a custom project which is not boating related this review may not be helpful to some.
Being an active RVer & getting older it’ was becoming difficult to access the bed of my F 250. Accordingly I used the rollers to make a slide out for the bed. I wasn’t about to pay the $1K for a pre-manufactured product.
The rollers have help up well with several hundred pounds of gear loaded on them. They roll as smoothly as when I first got them.
It may not be pretty but it works well. I’ll be making some modifications this winter to improve it’s functionality.

I made the improvements &roller bed is still functioning well. I live in a salt water environment with monevidemce of rist I can detect.

We were having an awful time getting our boat on and off the trailer. I thought "wouldn't it be great if someone made rollers?"
So I did a search and landed on etrailer.com and low and behold...roller bunks. Yippeee.
The boat literally slides right on and slides right off into the water, no muss no fuss...love em!!
VERY heavy duty, WELL made and VERY easy to install...just watch the tutorial videos.
Thanks E-Trailer & Delux roller Bunks!!

i launched my boat today. its the first time since redoing my trailer.the roller bunks work very well for me. launch and recovery are not as much work as before. i mounted bunks using 2nd recommended method. product, service, and shipping was outstanding. thanks again.

yes, still loving the rollers. every time i launch and recover i say the only regret about these rollers is i shouldve done it 20 years ago. thanks again.

I installed the 5' roller bunks on my Seadoo trailer, and they make loading and unloading a breeze even with shallow ramps or if the tide is out. I drive on, throttle up and hook the bow eye. So far they have not rusted, but it's only been one season.

Season 2 is now behind us, and the roller bunks are still rust free and working as new. As far as I can tell from normal use With that said, I only used it a few times this year in fresh water.
by: Gary R06/06/2015
Received 3 business days after order. Quality is excellent. Install was simple using 3/8 X 2 inch "lag screws" and washers over carpeted bunks. This was for a 14 ft Lund boat that I use in shallow lakes that do not have deep water ramps and many times the boat is not in the water when unloading. Boat loads and unloads easily now. Would recommend.

- Are Dutton-Lainson Roller Bunks Sold as a Set of 2 and What are Dimensions of Roller SetsYes, the Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks are sold in a pair. The roller sets are 4-5/8 inches overall. They are safe to use with painted hulls as the rubber compound used for the rollers is non-marking.

If you need longer bunks for your trailer you can fabricate them using lumber you source locally along with marine-grade carpet. We offer this carpet in various size rolls, the longest of which is # CE11349 that measure 18-feet long x 18-inches wide. If you prefer to use metal roller bunks for easier winching you can use several sets of the Dutton-Lainson Boat...

You can also use the Roller Bunk Brackets # DL21742 to install the bunks. A pair of these are required to install each bunk.
view full answer... - Can Roller Bunks Be Used on Tritoon Boat TrailerRoller bunks like those shown on the linked page will work just as well on a 3-hull tritoon as on a pontoon boat. If you intend to mount the rollers onto the flat surface of existing wooden/carpeted 2x4 bunk boards you will want to use a flat-bottom type roller like # DL21741, but we also have rollers like # DL21755 that have a channel that fits over the narrow side of a 2x4. The flat-bottom type can also be directly mounted to bolster brackets like # CE10003G-4 as shown in the linked photo.

- How to Attach Roller Bunks # DL21741 to 6 Ft Wooden Bunks on a Boat TrailerYou are correct, you can mount the Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks, item # DL21741, directly to the top of your existing wooden bunks. If mounted in this fashion you would not need any brackets. I would recommend stainless steel mounting screws, available at a local hardware store, to attach the roller bunks to your wooden bunks. If you wanted to remove the wooden bunks, you would need to use the Boat Trailer Roller Bunk Brackets, item # DL21742, to install the roller bunks on. I would...
view full answer... - Recommended Mounting Hardware and Quantity For the Dutton-Lainson Deluxe Roller BunksI do recommend drilling through holes in your bunk board to mount the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21741. Stainless steel mounting hardware would provide the best corrosion resistance but remember the rails are galvanized and zinc bolts are used on the rollers. Really I say it would be a what would you prefer scenario, but stainless steel is the best option. The bolts should be 3/8" in diameter and 2-1/2" to 3" in length depending if your 2x6 is a true 2" thick or...
view full answer... - Do Rollers and Bunks on Boat Trailer Both Support Boat WeightIn general the bunks typically support most of the boat's weight and the rollers are mainly there to act as guides but they too also support some of the boat's weight. It sounds like the placement and height setting of the rollers on your trailer are in need of changing so that the rollers and the bunks support and guide the boat in the best way possible. Another option you might consider is converting the bunks to roller bunks like the part # DL21741 which will allow your boat to roll...
view full answer... - Installation of Roller Bunks on Trailer for World Cat 26 Foot Long BoatThe Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk - 5' Long Sections # DL21741 are a great option to make loading and launching your boat easier. You will want to remove the bunk boards for the installation or at the very least add some spacers ad the wheels are taller on the top and bottom of the bunk boards so installing them directly on the bunks would need the wheels from rotating. Most installations use the Boat Trailer Roller Bunk Bracket for Dutton-Lainson Roller Bunks # DL21742...
view full answer... - Where Do Roller Bunks Typically Locate on a Boat TrailerYou want to locate the rollers on the frame of your trailer so that they overhang slightly off the back of the trailer so that the boat will contact them before any other portion of the trailer as you load it onto the trailer. I attached a picture that shows about where you will see them located on most trailer. You would most likely just need to put them in about the same place as where your carpeted bunks were.

- Replace Wood Bunks on Boat Trailer with Roller BunksSounds like you are looking for roller bunks to replace the wood bunks you have on your boat trailer. Since it is recommended to use 2 roller bunk brackets for each individual roller bunk, I recommend adding additional roller bunk brackets and removing the wood bunks. You could use the Boat Trailer Roller Bunk Bracket, # DL21742. This bracket is compatible with the 4 foot and 5 foot Dutton Lainson Roller Bunks, # DL21741 and # DL21740.
view full answer... - Could 5 Foot Long Roller Bunks be Used with Lund Fury 1400 BoatHey Rusty, so it really depends on how far onto your current 7 foot bunks your boat sits now for if you could get by with one set of 5 foot roller bunks like part # DL21741. I would assume if the boat isn't completely resting on the current bunk setup the 5 foot length would be just fine. I pulled up pictures of your Lund Fury 1400 and to me it looks like the 5 foot bunks would be fine.
view full answer... - Can Roller Bunks Be Installed on Grady White Boat Trailer with 10-Foot Wooden BunksThank you for the photo of your Grady White boat trailer which now has wooden bunks. Roller bunks like Dutton-Lainson Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21741 can make winching a boat up onto a trailer a much easier process by substantially reducing the friction between the hull and bunks. Roller bunks also reduce the stress and load on your winch. In your case your boat's 8800-lb weight is in excess of the 3000-lb capacity of these rollers. Even if you used two sets of rollers they would not have...

- Available Lengths of Boat Trailer Bunk Board CarpetingWe do offer bunk board carpeting in two lengths, 18-feet and 12-feet. We also offer several widths, 8-, 11-, 12- and 18-inches, such as # CE11349. You can see all such items on the linked page. I also linked our main page for all types of boat trailer parts, including roller bunks like # DL21741 that reduce friction between the hull and trailer for easier loading.
view full answer... - Can Roller Bunks be Used to Make Boat RampRoller bunks can be used as a boat ramp. I attached a picture that we got from one of our customers that shows a ramp made from wood and roller bunks. The roller bunks part # DL21741 can support up to 3,000 lbs. I attached a review video as well.

- Using Bunk Rollers Like # DL21741 on PWC TrailerThe roller bunks can certainly be used to replace the bunk boards on your PWC trailer, I use them on my PWC trailer and they work very well. You will need to ensure that the profile on the bottom of your PWC can handle the extra width of the rollers. Where the end of the 2 x 4 that the PWC rests on is typically 1.5 inches thick, these rollers would be 4-3/4 inches wide. You would need to ensure that portion of the hull that the bunks ride against are is wide enough to so that the rollers...
view full answer... - What Bunk Rollers Do You Recommend For A WaverunnerBunk rollers for your personal watercraft should be close in size to your existing bunk boards. If your bunk boards are 4' in length, the Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk - 4' Long - 10 Sets of 3 Rollers - by Dutton-Lainson, part # DL21740, is a good option. We do offer the same bunk roller in a 5' length, part # DL21741. They are rated for 3,000 lbs, so weight should not be an issue. I have included product description links and a video review link below.
view full answer... - Roller Bunks for a 20 Foot, 6,000 Pound BoatI recommend using 5 foot long sections of roller bunks # DL21741. Each set is rated at 3,000 pounds so you would have to double up the rollers on each side to have a combined 6,000 pound capacity (assuming each set is holding an equal amount of weight). These are the highest capacity roller bunks we have so if doubling them up is not an option you might want to look at carpeted bunks such as # CE27840.
view full answer... - Converting 19-ft V-Hull Boat Trailer to Pontoon TrailerWe do not have a single item kit to convert a boat trailer from a V-hull setup to a pontoon setup but we do offer all sorts of parts for boat trailers that appear on the linked page. It is possible that a given trailer maker could offer such a kit made to convert one of their trailer models to another so it might be worth checking with the manufacturer. If nothing else this gives you the opportunity to ask safety-related questions about this idea. I suggest having the trailer's VIN handy...
view full answer... - Roller Bunk for Jet Ski Trailer that is Used in SaltwaterWe have the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers # DL21740 which is a set of galvanized roller bunks that are 4 feet in length. These will work great in a saltwater application since galvanized steel holds up well.
view full answer... - Will The Keel Pads Mount To 2x4 Bunk Boards On a Boat Trailer? The Yates Keel Pad # YR1203SB is designed to fit on 3" wide frames and crossmembers. To mount them on bunk boards you would have to notch the 2"x4" for them to even fit. Also the pad is not designed to hold the boat like you get with Bunk Board Carpeting # CE11330. They are designed to let the boat easily slide if it were to accidently hit that portion of your trailer and are not rated to hold the weight of the boat all the time. If you are looking for something to make launching and...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Boat Trailer Roller Bunks with CE Smith Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10196G-4If your Dutton Lainson roller bunks have a flat bottom surface like part # DL21741 then you can mount them directly to the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies # CE10196G-4 as shown in the linked photo. These are the tallest ones we offer. If the bunks have an open channel in the bottom, like part # DL21755, then you will want to first mount the bunks to a 2 x 4 bunk board which will fit into that channel and then mount that to the brackets.

Most wooden bunk mounting brackets use a bolt that runs through the board when it is placed on end. If you do not want to replace the brackets you can simply replace the wood bunks with pressure treated wood and then mount the roller bunks like part # DL21740 on the top of the board.

Excellent up to now but useless in a ramp with deep water boat floats anyway. Shallow waters need a push where the rollers come into action. Up to now, I did not have to push bit I am looking forward to shallow waters!
