Hi John
I can offer a solution I've seen which may help you. Attaching a length of carpet round and across the roller should protect the bottom of the boat.
I hope you¡¯ve had loads of helpful replies.
Best wishes

Hi All
?
My launch trolley has got a but rusty in places so I have painted it with 2 coats of Galvafroid followed by Hammerite special metals primer and top coat of Hammerite. I¡¯ll also put a coating of Waxoyl inside the hollow tubes as well as outside, so I hope it will last a few more years.
?
My concern is that when I pull the boat/trolley on/off the road trailer each time I go for a sail, the paint on the trolley will be damaged by rolling it over the roller on the trailer.
?
I was thinking of trying to spray a ¡°rubbery¡± coating (if there is such a thing) on the roller to minimise abrasion of the paint ¨C any thoughts as to whether this will actually be a problem, or suggestions what might be effective to coat the roller?
?
Thanks
