Black roller marks on hull

[dev6315]

Quick and easy one. Is there anything that can be done to reduce the amount of black streaks on the hull after haul out with a roller trailer. I have the black rollers, not the nice poly wheels. I would need 56, so I would buy a new trailer before switching to poly wheels. Any tips and tricks would be nice, I'm going through Black Streak Remover like its beer...haha.

Just an idea: try wrapping the rollers with heavy duty Saran wrap or shrink wrap for shipping. You already covered nerw rollers or new trailer. MM

maybe you could find some heat shrink tubing the diameter of the rollers...you could cut the tubing in small sections to fit the rollers then shrink it with a heat gun to fit snug on the roller....the tubing would be waterproof and likely last a long time....

Sounds like the rollers have gotten severely sun dried. Other scrubbing them well with a stiff brush and then treating them with some quality rubber lube I don't think there is much more you can do short of replacing them. I know you said you need 56 but these guys prices don't seem bad and I know for a fact they give serious discounts for such a large quantity. Surely can't hurt to give them a call since even at list price it would be a lot cheaper than replacing the trailer.
