Which Boat Trailer Standard Roller Bunks Are Recommended for 6' Long Bunk Boards
Question:
I have a 14’ fishing boat with motor and 6’ long wooden carpeted bunks. It weights 1000 lbs. fully loaded. Should I order 2 sets 4- 4’ sections or would 1 set work?

Expert Reply:
There aren't really any hard and fast rules for the Boat Trailer Standard Roller Bunks. That said, for a six foot long bunk board I recommend using a five foot long roller, part # DL21755. If you wanted to use the slightly shorter four foot long roller, part # DL21754, that could be done as well but you would only need one set. The entire length of the bunk board does not need to be covered with rollers for them to be effective and do their job, just the majority.
