Question:
Hello, I have a STINGER LOWE BOAT 17 by 85 inches wide. My trailer is a caravan, each bunk wooden bunk boards measures 8 feet long. Can you tell me the correct roller and brackets for saltwater.

Expert Reply:
What you can do is use 2 sets of the 4-foot long sections, # DL21740, one for each side of the trailer to get two 8-foot sections. Each set is rated for 2,500 pounds. They can attach directly to a flat surface or you can attach them to the frame using 2 sets of the bunk brackets, # DL21742.
The roller bunks will work well for salt water because they are galvanized steel.
