What do you guys use to keep your trailer bunks slick.

Sorry to ask so many questions.

Chaz has stuff that'll make it leap off the trailer, I'll find out what it is or maybe he'll weigh in...

Stuff works really good...I push my skiff off with one hand. Just don't unhook boat from trailer until you get to the water.

This reminds me I'm about due for a new coat.

some spray silicon is all u need.

Spray Silicone will do the trick.

Also, I do know some guys who wax thier bunks. I think they use gulf wax, but I am not 100% sure.

Chaz has something that looks like a deodorant stick.

Rub it on.

I just use the spray silicon also. It's a couple of bucks at the big box stores.

Like mentioned above, DO NOT unhook the boat until it is over water. I take a turn around the winch post with my bow line to slow the thing down coming off the trailer. If I don't it's like launching the Titanic.

what brand spray silicone. The ones I've tried don't seem to work that well.

Try Liquid Rollers. its very good but costs a bit more .most boating store have it. Mine comes off the trailer like crazy for about 2 months...then its time to re apply. Silicone can build up over time and actually can get sticky, so ive heard, but ive used it and it does work, but not like Liquid Rollers Spray.

Yeah liquid rollers is the stuff.

You can also use pure silicone for tires as well...the gel stuff.
