BOAT LEAVES TRAILER TO SOON!

[BRUCE Sax]

BESIDES MY NITRO I HAVE A 16' GLASSTRON FOR ELECTRIC ONLY LAKES. IT HAS ROLLERS ON IT AND WITH THE SLIGHTEST INCLNE THE BOAT GOES FLYING IN THE WATER. I HAVE TO GET THE BOAT LEVEL THEN PUSH IT IN UNLESS THERE IS NO INCLINE. ANY SUGGESTIONS TO SLOW IT DOWN SHORT OF REMOVING ALL THE ROLLERS. THERE ARE NO BUNKERS.

THANKS

If the rollers are bolt through, you should be able to tighten the bolts up, slowing the rollers. If they're tap caps on the roller shaft, I can't think of anything short of winch unloading. Good luck!

Is it possible to get some heavy grease on the bearings? Some waterproof trailer bearing grease might load them up a little.

Tie a bow line to it long enough to hold the boat on the trailer until you are ready to float it off?
