Replacing Wood Bunks with Roller Bunks on a Boat Trailer
Question:
My current bunk configuration is two 9 foot bunks on each side of the trailer. Id like to convert them to roller bunks. I thought about using a 5 foot and 4 foot to make 9 but I only have two cross bars for mounting. Any suggestions other than keeping the wooden bunks under the rollers?

Expert Reply:
Since it is recommended to use 2 roller bunk brackets for each individual roller bunk, I recommend adding additional roller bunk brackets and removing the wood bunks. You could use the Boat Trailer Roller Bunk Bracket, # DL21742. This bracket is compatible with the 4 foot and 5 foot Dutton Lainson Roller Bunks, # DL21741 and # DL21740.
You will need a total of 8 brackets to mount a 5 foot and a 4 foot roller bunk on each side of the trailer.
