2019 Malibu Trailer Rollers ??

[MalibuHawk]

Hello - Has anyone seen trailer rollers that work on a Malibu Trailer?  Have a 2019 21 Foot MLX.  Our lake has been low for the last few years and it is very have to load when low.  Heard of a roller trailer from Magictilt that is supposed to work with inboard boats.  Worry about damaging the bottom of the boat.  Please let me know if anyone has experience with adding rollers or a roller trailer for Malibu Boats.  Thanks,

The trailer in Australia all have rollers. Maybe some of our members from down there can chime in. Or research the dealers on Facebook or Instagram and try to get in touch with them and see what they say. I’ve personally never seen a conversation posted here.

Thanks for the response.  That’s what Tommy’s in Denver told us, but I was never able to locate any information or how you would order a roller kit for a Malibu trailer.  I’ll keep searching.

retrofitting rollers to a Malibu trailer might be more challenging than just selling your trailer and buying one with rollers that's designed for an inboard.

Curious though, have you tried any bunk lubricants like Liquid Rollers or Pledge dusting spray?  They'll both make your bunks slicker than snot so make sure you always use your winch and safety strap/chain when backing down, and use your transom straps when on the road.  Many have had good luck with those when needing to winch their boats up and down bunk trailers.

Thanks for the info. We have used liquid rollers. That does help. We were just trying to find a long term fix. I think we have a very unique lake set up with tractors and muddy bottom.

I just put "trailer roller bunks" into my favorite search engine and got a lot of hits on at least three different brands.  You should be able to remove the wood bunks and replace them with roller bunks.  You may need to do a little fabrication.
