Rollers and bracket

[Rdry1952]

I am looking for a bracket and rollers for a 1997 Shoreline trailer. I haven't been able to find anything on line for the bracket. The rollers are easy to find. I have included some pictures. Thank you for your time. Randy

Welcome aboard 1st of all.

Sad to say but I think the only way you are going to find exact replacements are either by finding them used or back to the dealer for those brackets. Why do you want or need to replace the brackets?

Someone stole a bracket and 2rollers. Do you know of any salvage places in mid Florida.

Re: Rollers and bracket

why not just replace the whole bracket with a new one?
I see all the parts available to rebuild some different styled ones so wouldn't that be better then a salvage yard?

I never had wobble rollers before so I don't know them but cant they just be replaced like bunk brackets?

Re: Rollers and bracket

Wobble roller brackets are not as interchangeable as bunk board brackets. If both sides do not have the same geometry the boat will not sit correctly on the rollers and could cause serious damage. If he has to change one side with a different type then I would suggest that both sides be changed with identicle units. The wobble rollers thenselves aren't the problem, it's the bunks.

ah, ok so its an all or none if you want to replace them, that makes sense. I thought it just supported that point of the hull independently so he could just replace the one or the pair on that side I didn't realize they all need to be a matched team or it will be off balance

Re: Rollers and bracket

I found some at ERB in Venice. He said they have been out of business for quite a few years. I guess I was lucky to find any. Thanks for the help.

Re: Rollers and bracket

Really terrific that you were able to locate some. Just be thankful you didn't have an older Calkins trailer. Finding those rollers is darn near impossible. Now you just need to figure out how to keep these from being stolen.
