When you drill the bolt holes, oversize them and use a piece of pipe as a sleeve. Your bolt failed because it was fatigued by the sharp edge of the sheetmetal. My trailer has a swinging roller bunk just like yours, except the bolt goes thru a sleeve that is welded on top of the frame. Re: Shoreland'r Trailer, 1995 Model, Not Impressed Should I be concerned with those dents or no? That weight, supported on 8 relatively small areas causes that. With the rollers off the hull, the "dents" they've left behind are visible. I can see why a bunk trailer would be better for the boat. The reason I'm considering this is because I don't have to take the boat and trailer to a fab shop, and these pieces could be replaced if they wear out. I'll need to have the cross member cut and shortened as well to make room for these. This will place the load where it belongs, on top of the frame. I'll place this on top of the frame and its holes will line up with bolt that is used. I will have two upside down |_| shaped pieces made from 1/8" steel, with a hole for the bolt. I'm considering a mod that I hope will work. The bolt is one thing, but the frame where this bolt passes through is not built to hold the weight of the boat and the dynamics of being transported. After checking things out today, the folks that designed this should have their head examined. This bolt sheared off and boat fell onto to the frame and fender. There's a 1/2" bolt on each side that holds this cross member to the trailer frame. It is a roller trailer, with a pivoting cross member across the back that the rollers are attached to. I shouldn't have to remove that for trailering or should I? The gas tank is another 40 pounds and that too is in the back. Sure, the battery is 60 pounds and is located at the rear. The boat is not too heavy for the trailer. I didn't realize it until I got home, 12 miles away. ![]() On my way home last night the roller bracket assembly collapsed on the passenger side. It's a 1995 Shoreland'r R148 trailer that pulls my 14' Lund around. I bought a used 14' Lund with Shoreland'r trailer this spring. 2) Should I get rid of this roller trailer and get a bunk style due to the "dents" left by the rollers?ģ) Should I be removing the battery and fuel tank during transport?
