E-Z Slide Boat Trailer Slides for 6” bunks – in Black or White

I have only used them twice and they have worked fine but I want to share an installation experience. I installed them over carpet. Per the instructions, I used a drill driver to get the screws in and then hand tightened them for the final turn or two so I would not over tighten them. When completed all of the screw heads were below the surface of the pad. When loading my 21' aluminum boat I could tell something was not right so I got it off of the trailer and found that a couple of screw heads were now higher than the pad and resulted in some scratches to the bottom of the boat. After looking the situation over it appeared the weight of the boat compressed the pads against the carpet which resulted in a couple of the screw heads being higher than the pad. I went back with the drill driver and further tightened each of the screws. I was able to tighten each screw more due to compression of the carpet. I then reloaded the boat and it went on nicely. When I launched the boat a week later it came off of the trailer easily and then I checked the screws to see if they needed any additional tightening. Most of them turned a little bit when I put the drill driver to them. Based on my experience, I suggest if you are installing over carpet you need to tighten more than the instructions suggest. It is also important to have a screw driver and drill driver bit that fit the screw head well. The screw heads require a wide Phillips pattern and if a narrow pattern is used it is easy to strip the head out because the screw heads are a little on the soft side.

Holly Molly ,,,,,, the E-Z Trailer Ironwood Slides work great !!!!! If you have trouble with unloading your boat because of a short trailer tongue , trailer sits too high or you just don't want to back up into the water too far. These slide will definitely make sure your boat gets off your trailer quick...… USE CAUTION ONCE YOU UNHOOK THE BOAT GRAVITY WILL KICK YOUR BOAT OFF INSTANTLY... BUY IT AND DON'T WORRY YOU WON'T REGRET IT BEST UPGRADE I ADDED.

Works as advertised and does exactly what I expected. Using on 16 ft. flat bottom Jon on a tilt trailer. Use care when launching as other reviews have said. Makes it much easier to load and unload. I'm purchasing a winch with a hand brake to control the slide using the tilt trailer.You will scuff the bottom of the boat and lose a little paint, but that is to be expected and is a very minor trade off as far as I am concerned. So far no adverse affect on the rivets**Update: after writing this review I decided to take another look under the boat, and apparently I was mistaken. A few of my rivets have apparently been adversely affected by the pads. Worse case is that a couple of them have received some significant scoring. My guess is that the rivets sit deeper than the screws are recessed inside the countersunk mounting holes. I may be wrong about this, but I don't know any other way it could have scored the rivets that much. It is significant enough that I have decided to remove the pads and go back to carpet. I just ordered a can of "Liquid Rollers" off of Amazon, and will coat the new carpet I have to now install (after cutting out spaces for the pads) and see how that works. Keep in mind that I launch my Jon in shallow water using a tilt trailer--which means I do not back it into the water and float the boat on and off. I slide the boat off the bunks to launch full tilt, then winch it up full tilt on the bunks. If you have t tilt trailer you know what I am talking about. Probably not the best way to go for a riveted bottom it seems. It was worth a try, but I'm going back to carpet and try the liquid rollers. Not trying to bash this product. Just sharing my experience in hopes that it helps others make an informed purchase.Lastly, I am confident that if I didn't have a riveted bottom boat, I would keep the pads on. They work well other than the aforementioned issue.

I have an aluminium 15-foot bass boat, weight about 1200lbs. After rebuilding the old trailer I decided I needed a way to load the boat more easily. The boat was set up on blocks in my carport. After I had finished refurbing the trailer I slide the boat trailer up under the boat. Without it being in the water the boat slide easily onto the trailer. I had to adjust the front stop and was able with the help of my neighbour to side it back to the correct spot. I was amazed at how easy it was to move.Make sure your boat is latched down there is no doubt it will sild off the trailer if it isn't tied down.

Much smoother than bunk carpet and makes loading and unloading super easy. I put these on 2x4's coated with fiberglass resin to waterproof them so now they don't have wet bunk carpet sitting on them to rot the wood. If you have a habit of unhooking your winch strap before backing down the ramp I'd consider not doing that if you install these. It takes very little effort to move a boat with these on the bunks so it could cause your boat to slide off while backing down or pulling up the ramp.

Added these to my pontoon trailer in about 30 minutes. Service guy suggested them to keep pontoon off of carpeted bunks just enough to help wash saltwater off them. Very easy to install. Just needed 4 packs of them to do entire trailer. Also makes sliding off and on trailer way easier.

The lake I launch from can be shallow at times which makes it difficult to launch without getting my rear tires too far into the water. My bunks are covered in plastic vs. carpet but it was tacky not slippery. I have a pontoon so I ordered 2 sets of slide pads. Easy to install, says not to use a power driver as you may crack it but using a 1/8" drill bit to predrill made it it very tough to screw in by hand. So I lowered the torque setting on my Bosch Driver and no problem. If you do not want to, use a larger bit to pre-drill

We ordered these to help our pontoon slide on and off the trailer easier. We have a heavy pontoon that sits on a tall Tracker trailer with big tires so it didnt like to slide on and off the trailer easily. We often had to jump in and push it off the trailer. These worked perfectly to for what we needed. The boat now slides on and off with ease every time.

this product appears to be good quality and robust. i have not yet fitted the slides to my trailer so cant comment on their use.

Ordered these for the bunks on my boat trailer. In the picture it shows it comes with the end pieces. Tried to contact seller but no reply. They are great quality but you don’t get what’s in the picture
