Drag Roller Recommendation for Boat Trailer with Prop Protector Cut Out
Question:
I have an inboard boat and the trailer has a prop protector that drags on my driveway a distance of approx. 4 feet when exiting. The boat and trailer are approx. 5,000 lbs fully loaded by my estimate. What drag roller would you recommend? I would prefer bolt-on would reduce my costs to avoid welding but Im not sure that any products you sell would fit. I dont have a photo of my trailer but found photos on the internet. The photo with a boat on it is identical to what I have both boat and trailer. The photo of the empty trailer with single axle shows a trailer of identical design and construction, except with single axle. My boat is 21 feet long and total trailer length is 23 feet. Thank you for your help!

For your application there really is only going to be a weld on solution that's reasonable like the part # UF48-979022 that you referenced. The frame dimensions are unknown so a weld solution would be better since that really doesn't matter.
Welding is typically pretty cheap too. Especially for a small job like this.
