Boat Trailer Roller Bunks, like the item you selected, part # DL21741, are not designed to line-up or center the boat, but for the boat to rest and roll on the bunks. Typically, if you are loading a boat the boat is not loading squarely it is because the trailer is too deep in the water. You would want to use part of the trailer as a reference to determine how far to back the trailer into the water.
You would want to install the bunks in place of your existing bunks or rollers. If you... view full answer...
The installation process of the Ark Ezi-Guides Self-Aligning Boat Trailer Loading System -part # AR84FR is very easy and can be done by you easily. It will use u bolts to wrap around the trailer frame and you will then tighten them down with either a 9/16" or 5/8" socket. Not 100% sure but I think it is the 9/16". The only issue with installation will be the boat needing to not be on the trailer when you do it.
As for the size you want the only thing that changes is the spring tension... view full answer...
The CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers like part # CE27710 can be used on aluminum boats yes but the rigidity of the boat's hull will be the determining factor for whether or not damage can occur. If you have doubts of its rigidity then your best course of action would be to reach out to the boat trailer manufacturer to see if the hull is suitable for use with bunk rollers.

The Boat Trailer Standard Roller Bunk part # DL21755 is designed to be used on a trailer which although will be frequently submerged in water, would/should not be constantly. I took a look at some reviews of customers using these rollers as a boat ramp where they are constantly submerged and it seems like an issue is the paint wearing faster and the rails thereby rusting. Therefore, the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk part # DL21741 which are galvanized will be a better option. view full answer...
You can simply mount the Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk, part # DL21741, by just screwing or bolting it in. The mounting brackets, Boat Trailer Roller Bunk Bracket, part # DL21742, are optional in mounting part # DL21741, and are not required.
If you remove your old bunks and installed part # DL21741, the brackets would be needed to attach to the bottom of the bunk where the holes are and there would be no drilling required. This way the bunks would be adjustable to change the height.

These Fulton Boat Guide, part # FGB1500100, are a visual guide to help you know if you are centered as you are putting your boat on your trailer. The function is not to physically keep your boat centered on your trailer.
I would put these just a few to the side of your boat on your trailer, evenly spaced, so you could use them as a visual aide to know when you are actually centered on your trailer.
It sounds like you might have your trailer too far into the water if you have your 23... view full answer...
CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27620 are intended to provide only a visual guide for aiming your boat as you run it up onto the submerged trailer. They are not intended to make contact with the gunwales on each side of the boat to physically guide it onto the trailer. You'll want to position them so you have enough room for the widest part of your boat (the center) to easily clear them. view full answer...
You could potentially run the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons part # CE27660 on the inside of the trailer frame rails so as to guide a pontoon boat on from the inside of the boat. The only issue is that these aren't height adjustable. These might stick up to high for your boat to fit over. They are 21 inches tall.
I spoke with my contact at CE Smith and she told me they have not tested these guide-ons with a pontoon boat. view full answer...
The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons, part # CE27740, and the CE Smith Bunk-Style Guide-Ons, part # CE27600, will attach to a boat trailer frame size of up to 3 inches wide x 4-1/4 inch tall. They both use the same type of mounting brackets that attach to the boat trailer frame.
The post-style guide-ons do need to be mounted as far back on the trailer frame as possible and as close to the boat as possible. The bunk-style guide-ons have 5 foot long bunks that have to be positioned on your... view full answer...
The most common mounting location of the LED Pontoon and Fishing Boat Docking Lights part # TN23ZR on a pontoon boat is on top of the deck at the outside corners facing out. That said, we do have a better option more specific to pontoon boat trailers, the LED Docking Light for Pontoon Boats part # TN98XR or part # TN48XR which would mount to the side of the deck floor at the front or side facing out. view full answer...
The Ark Ezi-Guides Self-Aligning Boat Trailer Loading System part # AR74FR is designed to be installed at the rear of the trailer as that is how it will be most effective in centering the boat on the trailer. That said, there are no stipulations or limitations for installing the guides further up if you can find a way to fit them and they will work for your application. view full answer...
It is possible to install CE Smith Bunkboard Guide-On Kit # CE27600K75 in the way you have suggested. But it may require trimming parts of the tubes should they interfere with the boat. The only part of the set up you would want to make contact with the boat is the carpeted bunk! view full answer...
The majority of the weight of your boat should be supported by the bunk boards or by roller bunks. When the article referenced rollers it did not mean keel rollers. Keel rollers like the # CE10401G can hold the weight of the boat when loading and unloading, and also provide great support for the keel and absorb road shock. However, they should not hold the majority of the weight of your boat on the trailer.
In addition to keel rollers you will also want to use bunk boards like the # CE27840... view full answer...

In regards to universal fit items, compatibility will be up to the installer. view full answer...
In order to secure your 1994 Regal Ventrua 6.8 with the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps you will need to use one tie down at the bow and two tie downs at the transom. For this you will need both part # IMF14220 and part # IMF08893. This will give you a break strength rating of 7,500 lbs (2,500 lbs per tie down) therefore will be sufficient.
We also have the Mounting Brackets part # IMF14254 if the tie down points on the trailer are not where you need them to be. I... view full answer...
If the bunks on your 2000 Escort boat trailer are in bad shape then it wouldn't be a bad idea to swap them out while you are installing new fenders like the part # F008584-2 you referenced.
I have attached some dimensional information for this set of fenders that you can reference as well as a link to boat trailer parts we carry that includes bunk boards. If you need help with recommendations please send me some dimensions of your current parts so I can help you out.

You can certainly mount lights on the poles, however if the lights you choose pick up their ground connection through the mounting studs, you will need to run a jumper wire from one of the mounting studs on each lamp to the trailer frame to complete the ground circuit. view full answer...
My contact at BoatBuckle told me that as long as you tighten the straps snugly according to the directions that the chance of rubbing the paint off either your trailer or boat is slim. He continued with there is always a chance, but, again, if they are tightened properly, the chance that you will have paint removal is slim.
He told me the type of webbing used is of a seat-belt type webbing which is softer and not as rigid as many of the straps on the market.

Roller bunks like the 5-foot Dutton-Lainson # DL21741 can mount directly to your wooden bunk boards since they have pre-drilled mounting holes.
The exact positioning an angle of the bunks will matter since you want to avoid any damage to the hull by ensuring as much hull surface area as possible can make contact with the rollers. More contact area means less weight on any given part of the hull. Ideally you will have a pair of rollers for each part of the hull.
