Re: Do trailer slides work make that big of difference?
Depends on how old the boat is and how long you intend to keep it. When bunk carpeting gets real old it may tear and you know it needs to be replaced. But long before that it gets kinda "sticky" and the spray won't help.
Most of my trailers are all roller, but I have 2 that are either all bunk (short jetski) or a combo. Silicone is a short term solution, but bunk slicks are forever. Second best thing since sliced bread. If you are trying to save money, take them back. If you want a long term solution that you don't have to worry about, put them on and go boating with no hassles.
Boats falling off the trailer is NEVER a problem!!! Whether you have Slicks, bunks, all rollers, carpet sprayed with Pam vegetable oil, a silicone sprayed bottom, or rotted twobafore bunks that are glued to the boat, if you take the tie downs and winch off the boat before you're in launch position, you shouldn't be allowed on the launch ramp!
