I would think you could call the manufacter and they could tell you.... I have them on my trailer and are great I only use one length on each side or else my boat slips off when I load it. better than rollers.
I installed some trailer bunk slicks about 3 or 4 years ago. They worked great for a while -- making loading and unloading an easy chore. But they have recently become "unslick" (for lack of a better description).
Question: Does anyone know of a way to re-vitalize these things to make them slick again, or am I stuck with having to replace them with new ones?
I would greatly appreciate help from anyone with any experience with these.

Do these slick boards/strips scratch up the boat bottom much? I have a aluminum V, when loading on trailer boat floats 3/4 way on trailer & that last 4 feet with the front dragging on bunks(they are out of the water) is a pain. Was thinking about putting 2 or 4 feet of slick type strips in front instead of carpet. Any opinons ????

Try spraying with pure silicone spray. This works fine on carpet covered bunks, but does not last very long.
Back the bunks all the way into the water (getting them wet) and then pull forward to where you usually load the boat.

I have carpeted bunks on mine and was having a hard time launching and loading until I sprayed them with "Jig-a-loo" a silicone spray. Now when I back down the ramp the boat starts sliding off before I touch the water. Its been a bout 3 months since I sprayed them and they are still sliding fine. I bought it at Wallyworld for just a few bucks. Also great to spray under the motor cowl to displace water from everything.
