Re: Nylon trailer rollers
Indespension list them on their UK site so maybe worth giving them a buzz in limerick or Dublin.
A local machine shop may do them for you too.

Re: Nylon trailer rollers
Depends on the boat and trailer setup. The Warrior does not sit on its keel other than at the bow but it would dig in on the rubber keel rollers on the way in an out. Hence the nylon.

Re: Nylon trailer rollers
Sounds like good advice. I launched off Peters point in Ringaskiddy today and took some serious efforts to get the boat in the water. I have the old rubber rollers on an indespensionIts Ofishal wrote:Thanks Jim, I have a warrior so I will look to get a couple of keel rollers.

Re: Nylon trailer rollers
Paddy's Point I take it!
Yes, Replace all the keel rollers with nylon. Also when the boat is off the trailer spray some spray grease into the axles of the big cradle rollers. This also makes a huge difference. What type Warrior? Other than the keel digging in there usually is not an issue...

Re: Nylon trailer rollers
When I have my rollers greased up it can be tricky to get the winch hook off as the boat wants to go! I'm in a 175.
