Are Dutton-Lainson Roller Bunks Sold as a Set of 2 and What are Dimensions of Roller Sets  

Question:

Thank you for the info. I feel your roller bunks are the way to go for me. I have a trailer with carpeted bunks now. The problem is that the Quabbin Res. in Ma. is now prohibiting boats with carpeted bunks from launching their boats in the res. because of the Zebra Mussel alert. The E-Z slide pads that were recommended by them will not work on a painted hull....they will scratch the hull over time. I think your product will work just fine as an alternative. I do have some other questions: Do the rollers have bearings or is it a threaded bold with a lock nut? Can replacement rollers be bought? My existing bunks are carpeted over a 2x6x10. Ill want to purchase two sets to completely give me the same support that I now have. Thanks again for your help and I look forward to your answers on my other questions,

Yes, the Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks are sold in a pair. The roller sets are 4-5/8 inches overall. They are safe to use with painted hulls as the rubber compound used for the rollers is non-marking.

I spoke with my contact at Dutton-Lainson and they do have replacement rollers available. Should you ever need them, let us know and we will get them for you. I went out to the warehouse to check about how the rollers are mounted. The rollers are not on bearings. Bolts and lock-nuts hold the rollers on.
