Trailer roller hitting intake grate! What to do?

[Marz-Bar]

The title says it all. Are intake grates for livewell made to take such abuse? Very little room to move rollers left or right to miss it. Could move that roller set to one side and install smaller rollers on one side of roller set. Any Thoughts? Thanks!

Plan on moving the rollers. The intake grates are not made to take the abuse from the rollers on the road.

Thanks Bob, the roller does not sit on the grate going down the road, just rolls over it when loading and unloading the boat at the ramp. Depending on the tide, at times the back of the boat is almost floating when I put in or take out, not sure how much pressure is on the grate.
