Trailer Modifications
Hi all, I think my Dunbier trailer needs and an extra set of wobbler rollers on it as I struggle to drive it up straight onto the trailer. It goes on ok at the start, but then drifts off to the left when it’s 1/2 way up. Does anybody know a good place to by the bracket/rollers as per the picture attached, or should I just go to Dunbier?

Re: Trailer Modifications
Extra rollers is always a good idea.
It sounds like the not going on straight particularly if it always goes the same direction is a trailer setup issue though.

Re: Trailer Modifications
Best trailers I've owned had V bunks, the boat couldn't go anywhere except the centre regardless of wind etc.

Re: Trailer Modifications
Thanks for the replies...I’m pretty sure it’s the trailer setup & not my driving (it does it when pull it in manually as well) Not sure if you can see from the photos, but it only has 3 sets of rollers & im hoping putting another set where the axle is may help. It’s causing a lot of deep scratches on the hull, so pretty keen on getting it right. Perhaps scrap all the rollers & get a couple of skids?

Re: Trailer Modifications
I think you need the u section nylon block that fits between the rollers that will protect the keel .
