Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
My boat goes in once a season and come out once. I've never lubed the bunks in 10yrs but thinking of maybe doing it this time. My boat sits on the trailer in a heated building for almost 9 months so I think it gets a little sticky. We backed the boat in today and maybe too far and the trailer floated, so maybe a little sticky. Any thoughts about lubing the trailer? I looked up on here and the web and silicone and other products were mentioned.
I’ve researching this issue because our boat seems to stick to the bunks, even when launching. I had the Ultimate Bunk Boards on my old boat, but wanted to the carpet bunks a shot before I swap them out. I’ve read where others use silicon or other spray on products, but decided to give Gulf paraffin wax a try to next time we go out.
Talked with my friend this morning about your issue, he thinks that your bunk carpet could be dirty, he suggested your bunk carpet may be contaminated and that you should take the trailer to the coin operated car wash and clean the bunk carpet thoroughly.
