Can Pontoon Boat Use Roller Bunks
Question:
Would two sets of the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Roller Bunk, # DL21741, work for a 16foot pontoon shore launch ramp?
asked by: Stephen P
Expert Reply:
You can use roller bunks like the part # DL21741 on a pontoon boat trailer like what you have, but since you need to install them at an angle and do not want to use wood bunks as the base you will also need the install brackets # DL21742 unless it would be better to mount them directly to a board since it's a launch ramp.
You should note that the roller sections are 5 feet in length so you would need most likely 3 sets of these front to back so that you get a length of 15 feet.
