Broken roller frame

[brian36578]

When I pulled into the boat launch parking lot earlier today, the roller frame broke. I was able to get the bare metal covered with some towels and a strap so it wouldn't gouge the gel coat on the way back home. My question is, where would I go about finding this part? I am having a difficult time finding it online. Also, would I be better off converting to bunk style at this point?

What brand of trailer.....start with their web site or dealer

Or get it welded back up

Trailer is a 1989 Shoreland'r. Boat is a 19' I/O Larson Bowrider.

go to shoreland'r s website, find local dealer and call them. from the vin they can tell you who bolted what to the boat. you can get every part of the trailer from them as a service part (even frame rails)

I have owned 3 shoreland'r trailers over the years and they have great customer service.

Thanks! On my lunch break at work today I went next door where they do wheel welding. He will be able to weld this back together for $25-$40 tomorrow morning! just need to pull the boat off the trailer tonight, I will be able to get a nice coat of polish and wax on the bottom while I have her off the trailer and I think I might get new rollers too. The trailer currently has the hard plastic rollers which a few are cracking and should be replaced soon so I'm looking at going with some softer urethane rollers to replace them.

I have just gone through the roller replacement thing, get the clear yellow eurathane rollers if you can, they are really nice and don't mark up the boat.
