Hey guys…I have a 260 DA that I trailer on a bunk trailer. At times it is difficult to launch and retrieve due to the weight, or the tide not being in the exact right spot. At a good ramp, with a good high tide I can really get deep and float on and off.

My question is, does anyone have any experience with liquid roller spray? Pros / Cons? I was going to give it a try to see if it would help out, I am just nervous that it would cause the boat to move / slip while trailering. Any insight would be great.
 
It helps a little, no real negatives but it really doesn't make the boat slide off, just easier to crank when you drag it on.
 
I have used the Liquid Roller spray on the carpeted bunks. My results were excellent with drastic improvement of the boat sliding along the bunks. Never had a problem while trailering but be advised the bunks do get slick if you're using steep boat ramps so make sure something is securing boat to the trailer up and down the ramp.
 
Thanks Crossroads, I guess I'll give it a shot. About how often do you have to re-apply the spray?
 
Crownline, get your wifes PAM. I tried Liquid Roller, but PAM worked considerablely better.

If you strap the boat to the trailer like you're supposed to, it won't move or slip.
 
I use silicone spray. It works well on my small boat. And the liquid evaporates quickly which makes it practicle to apply just before I recover the boat. It seems to last for 5 or 6 trips.
 
I'd try Grand Slam's route first. Liquid Roller is a buck and a quarter an ounce. Generic Pam is a buck and a quarter a can and you probably already have some on hand. It's worth a shot.
 
Use the store brand of Pledge - works great - make sure you don't detach the bow eye from the trailer before backing down!
 
Best I can find in their literature, Liq. Rollers is silicone.
It works for awhile, and is very slick initially. I believe you will have to apply twice a year.
The other suggestions are valid. I would rather use something other than silicone, but if that is the only way??

My current product is plain old candle wax and it is
working so far.

NOTE: I would rather have wax on the hull than silicone. If you ever have to apply any paint or finish, silicone is very difficult to remove, and will interfere with the coating.
 
Teflon spray works a bit better and lasts a lot longer than silicone. Do NOT release the winch xtrap/cable before you are ready for it to slide. Never tried Pledge but sounds good too.
