Can someone tell me what to do with these? Are they good to use or not for a boat? They look like they dont belong to me.

Re: roller bunk boards ....

They are intended to replace solid bunk boards. Sort of a quick and relatively cheap way to convert a trailer to rollers, although I don't think I'd want to use them with a large, heavy boat. They should be fine for the boat in your signature, though, if the trailer is set up properly.

Re: roller bunk boards ....

I had thought about those, then realized they probably aren't a good choice for any boat... With bunks or properly fitted rollers, you have multiple points of contact spread throughout the hull. With those, they aren't going to bend and flex like a bunk board to conform to the hull. Its very likely you might have ONE set of rollers holding the entire weight once the boat is loaded and in its final position..

I got the Larson with them on the trailer. They were not setup right , and therefor didnt pivot or move as theyshould have. I have a few spots to correct and am repositioning the mount bolts to get all the rollers to contact. I am thinking they will be good then. Now should more weight rest on those or the bottom rollers on the trailer?

i would surgest the bottom rollers have more weight on them and the side are more or less to hold it up right i didn't move the rollers on my last 2 roller trailers because they were set up right.
