What Are the Differences Between Yellow, Blue and Black Boat Rollers
Question:
I have a load rite trailer 1997 with black wobble rollers I replaced the rollers once with the same black rollers. The black rollers split and crack. I was told by the boatyard to switch to the blue or yellow rollers. I thought I read somewhere that the colors had different applications. Can you tell me if there is a difference in the colors? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The yellow and blue rollers are considered "non-marking" rollers so they are the ones I recommend most.
Black ones have a tendency to leave marks on boats so usually don't recommend them.
I attached a page that has all of the non-marking rollers we offer.
