How To Install Rollers On a Pontoon Boat
Question:
Do you have a product that will help me switch from bunks to keel rollers for a 22FT pontoon boat Sylvan 8522. The intent is to make launch and retrieval easier on shallow ramps. The Trailer is a Karavan 24 X 8 dual axel. Thank you,

It sounds like you are trying to bring the boat down closer to the trailer frame. I have personally not seen many setups that involve using keel rollers like the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10455G with a pontoon boat but if you have an idea in mind we do have these in various sizes. That said, I think the best option we can offer you to add a roller would be with the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunks part # DL21741 and the CE Smith Bolster Bracket for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE10052-32G. I also recommend using the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons part # CE27646 to help guide the boat onto the rollers. I have attached a photo of a similar setup but you would just use rollers instead of bunk boards.
