Anyone using teflon strips on trailer bunks?
Did they really make a difference? Do you notice any increased tendency of
the boat to shift during towing, compared with having only carpet on the
bunks? |

| Not Teflon. All the newer aluminum Jetboats use UHMW plastic. You can get
it cut to size at a good plastic supplier. 1/2" and then counter sink the
screw head in to the plastic. |

| How well do they work? I've often wondered. |

| They work great on the boats. Allows you to launch and retrieve in shallow
water with ease. The boat slides like on a roller trailer, but with the
support of a bunk. |

| We have a wood hull, not fiberglass. Bunks were carpeted and was too much
friction.
Bought the spray bunker stuff from West Marine. I think it's called "liquid
rollers" or
something like that. It works REALLY WELL. Be careful you don't put on more
than
you want. I like it because you can add just enough, it's very easy, and the
bunks are
still carptet, not plastic. |
