Rated 5 out of 5 by Buckstar Delivers as promised
I acquired a refurbished '62 Super Skeeter, the hull of which had been coated with a roll-on truck bedliner. This made for some extreme difficulty dragging the boat onto the wet, carpeted trailer bunks. After installing these pads, the boat slides effortlessly across the bunks. The install instructions come with a warning to not release the boat from the trailer until you are at the point of launch and they aren't kidding! Could give new meaning to the term "Speed-launching"! Sure would make for a bad day at the ramp...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ducken Highly recommend for aluminum boats
Work great easy to load and unload. One thing I recommend is to make sure you have a safety strap on when going up the ramp boat could side of if crank failed. But everything else great and very easy to put on took 15 min at most

Rated 5 out of 5 E-Z Slide
Well lets start with I made the mistake of removing these things while boat was off trailer thinking they aren't doing a thing, then commenced to place boat back on trailer, holy cow, was that a mistake, should have never removed as the boat seemd to just stick on the carpeted bunks. After realizing these things really made a difference I purchased some new ones, and replaced on the carpeted bunks, now the boat just slides on and off with ease.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WarEagle754 Work Great (maybe too great)
I had trouble trailering my 17-54 War Eagle. A friend recommended these. They work great! Maybe too great. Don't unhook your boat until it's in the water or it may slide off the trailer on your way down the ramp. It says this in the instructions and they aren't kidding. But they do make trailering much easier. I would recommend them.

I have a platform boat lift - it tilts to dump the boat and you drive it back on like a trailer - white hull - is it going to mark me up real bad? Bunks are 4 x4's one row enough? I am thinking that maybe I won't have to tilt the lift so much with these.
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
Have had only slight marking on the hull (a lot less than normal operating and running over debris in the water...) The 3" model is perfect for the 4" wide bunk. Guarantee you won't have to tilt as much (and make sure you keep your boat tied before you're ready to lauch/pull out, these will make the boat slide right off.)
A:
The manufacturer does not recommend using the EZ Slides in conjunction with fiberglass boats heavier than 1,500 lbs. or if the boat has a painted bottom. Under these circumstances, you will risk cracking the gel-coat, or scratching a painted bottom.They recommend placing the slide 12 - 18 inches apart on the bunks.
Thanks!
Answers
A:
They can be used with any flat surface boat bottom
A:
The E-Z Slides will work with aluminum, metal, and riveted metal boats up to 4,000 lbs.The E-Z Slide are not recommended for boats with painted bottoms or fiberglass boats weighing more than 1500 pounds.
Therefore, it should work if you have the Tracker Pro 165, which has an all-welded aluminum Mod V hull boat. Thanks

They say not recommended for painted bottoms. Its an aluminum boat, but bottom is painted. Use boat for hunting, so don't care if scratches paint. Just need to be able load and unload in very shollow water. Can I use them, and will they help?Answers
A:
I use it on a painted G3 aluminum boat and after about 3 times launching, the boat comes off like it was on butter.It will help greatly.
A:
I have the Grizzly 1648SC and I use them. I bought the camoflage painted version. Of course it is hard to tell if it is scratching the paint or not underneath, but I have had a look while the boat is on the trailer and have not seen more than was probably already there just from my normal use.Answers
A:
I've used these with a Lund riveted hull and currently with a Alumacraft riveted hull with no problems

DON'T. The pads are really slick.A:
No boat will slide off trailerAnswers
A:
One row on each bunk (the 3" glide is an ideal fit for a 4" bunk), the stainless screws included with the kit will hold them in place, bolts would be overkill.A:
I have a 17 ft legend and used 10 pads and 2 bunkenders .Pads are screwed into bunk as per instructions and come with kit . As in other reviews be careful when taking boat out of water to secure front hook because boat could slide off bunk. Very cool to load boat and use fraction of power to set on trailer.Q:

I have a new Tracker 2072 CC, it is so heavy that I am worried about boat damage while traveling.
Details:
When loading the boat if you are not dead center or not all the way up on the trailer, you have to put the boat back in the water to get it right. You can not man handle this boat. Boat weighs about 2000 lbs.I have 4 bunks about 15' feet long and was thinking about 2 of the #3 packages. Is this enough and will the pads damage the bottom of the boat while traveling?
Answers
A:
I've used these for 10 years on various boats, never had any issues with hull damage. Your first launch with these on your trailer and you'll be in love with this product!

The pads should be spaced 12” – 18” apart on the bunks. http://www.ironwoodpacific.com/stor...
Answers
A:
They have a small curved end the fits on the end of the bunks. This way the boat does not hit the bunk at all.A:
Bunk Enders are the pads made especially for the very end of the bunks, that is the end that the boat comes in contact with as you are drawing it onto the trailer. If you have two bunks..you will need two bunk enders.A:
Hard plastic or Neoprene "L" shaped parts that attach to the ends of the 2 bunks where the E-Z slide plates are attached to the trailer

A:
Get them for sure as they are downturn part of pads for the end of bunk runners. They allow boat to make contact with the pad part vs bunk carpet. I find them very helpful to load boat in shallow water or on steep ramps. They are a little "L" part of pad that caps over the end of the runners. Good to have there.Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Unless boat is unbalanced load wise on the trailer, one package including the end pads should do the trick. Since all boats rise up toward the front, usually only about 2/3 of boat touch pads. With motor and all in back, I spaced mine closer on rear pads and then extended then out some on front. Front ones are only for helping to load and don't usually carry the boat weight during trailering.
