Glyde Sticks on Bunk trailer

I have a 2 bunk trailer and have a hard time loading it. My boat is aluminum and does not like to slide on the bunks. I don’t like submerging to much of the trailer then it loads crooked. Has anyone used the glyde sticks Cableas sells or can you spray something on the bunks?

Thanks

We spray the front 3rd with pledge. Don’t spray any further down or you’re looking for a big problem.

My dad and I spray the bunkers with a silicone spray…….heavily. It hasn’t caused any problems whatsoever and works very well. My dad has voiced that he’d like to follow up with a thin coat about every other trip just to keep the “slick” up to maximum effectiveness but I’ve found it helpful for about 25-30 launches. Of course, the weight of the boat makes a difference too.

I could be wrong but I thought someone posted some time ago that they tried “roller bunks” before and didn’t like it. Might have just been a conversation I overheard too but in that regard, it would be nice to talk to someone about their pros and cons…………..Anyone?

I used to run a 16′ Lund Explorer DLX with a 50 hsp merc. I used a bunk trailer just as your speaking of. I put on those same glyde sticks from Cabelas your talking about and it made all the difference in the world. Just be careful not to unhook your boat until you have it in the water, otherwise you’ll have it on the landing far short of the water.

I have a 15 foot Smokercraft with a 50/35 Jet on it. I fish alone alot of the time so I like and easy loader.
I took the bunks off and got rollers, they were a waste of money. Took them off and put on the glyde sticks. I put two rows of them the entire length of the bunks. It works like a dream, no problem alone. You can actually move it on the trailer bunks in the garage alone. I have lots of stuff in my boat to wood floor, deck , 3 batteries , 2 gas cans etc:::::::::::::::::::: You won’t be sorry , but like was said make sure you have er hooked when you back down the ramp.
