Boat Trailer Skids extruded out of plastic are ideal for use with aluminium boat hulls. Plastic material is slippery and helps launch and retrieve your boat with ease!

Carpet on the other hand, often used with some fiberglass hulls and jet ski trailers. Generally softer in nature on these hull types, they can get stuck and make launching and retrieval more difficult. If using carpet, make sure regular maintenance occurs to avoid ripping and tearing of carpet bunks.

If you notice worn carpet, exposed wood, cracks, soft spots, or your boat doesn’t sit level on the bunks, that’s a sign. These issues mean the bunk’s protective layer is compromised. Replacing damaged boat trailer bunks or skids helps prevent damage to your boats aluminium & gel coat scratching and keeps your hull properly supported. The best upgrade / replacement alternative is plastic boat trailer skids supplied by Roxom.

Like our boat trailer bunks; Our skids and bunk covers follow the same process. The material used to manufacture plastic boat trailer skids and bunk covers is identical. The only difference between the colours, is exactly that, just the colour die used to make the plastic profile.
