So I just got this new trailer and yesterday morning we swapped my boat to it, I drive it on to the trailer and it didn't go far, my old bunks covered in indoor outdoor carpet slid right up. Then I star winching it up and holy crap it was hard. I used all of arms power to crank it up where I needed it.
Then we go to launch at Williams park and I had to practically dunk the whole trailer and push it 3/4 the way off to get the boat free.
I know that the marine bunk carpet is supposed to help keep things in place, but I didn't know it did it to this extreme. I'm toying with the idea of rebuilding my bunks with indoor/outdoor carpet from home depot like I did my last 2 sets. either that Or soak them with silicone spray or something. I want the carpet to do it's job, but I'd like it to be easier to launch and retrieve.
