Boat trailer roller modification for my 1976 Starcraft boat

I put self centering rollers on my boat trailer. They work great!!!

Today I am making the same modifications to my trailer. Thanks for posting your experience - I'm excited to make launching and leaving the water easier! Your video was very helpful and enjoyable.

Holy cow these are going to make my life a million times easier

I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video. I have an old boat and old trailer that needs new rollers this spring. These should reduce the time at the ramp, which is good on the busy days.

Very good idea. Need to change mine anyway will be using your idea. Thank's!

Add a Drotto hitch!!! You will love it even more, my wife loads the boat, she loves the hitch!

Great idea , I’ve got a 1978 Starcraft converted to center console great boats looking for side emblems

Great idea. On my ally boat the keel is wide, almost like a mini i beam. The boat got wedged in the centre of one of these rollers when launching, so didn’t work for me. So, check your keel is a more pointed one like in this video. Best of luck?

Thank You!

where did you find those rollers?

[@davemaier2563]

You need to get rid of those crimp on roller shaft caps, they pop off and you can lose your roller, it happened to me this summer. Drill the ends and use cotter pins.

I was going to do the same thing cause my rollers is only 4 and a half inch or mm. But doesn’t fit I had to buy all new brackets.

[@pablorener1633]

how did you remove the roller's end caps?

[@BigBird1Catfish]

where did you find the selfcentering roller for up front? I can only find a 12in but need an 8in? i have checked ebay, amazon, etrailer etc

What’s holding your troller

[@JackT81]

Going to update mine. I dread loading my boat at the launch, because it's always hit or miss if I can get it on the trailer straight. Hated being that guy holding up the line at the launch.

Where did you buy these rollers from? I would like to get some of these

[@618Mowing]

I have a v bottom Lund. My problem is the roller on the trailer has a notch in the middle and it’s pretty hard to get it lined up perfectly to where the v bottom fits into that notch. Wonder if this self centering roller would fix my problem?

My trailer has 5 rollers can I replace them all with self centering rollers?
