My drift boat trailer is in need of some repair.
Can anyone tell me where I can get some parts to fix it or recomend somewhere to take it to be fixed. The back roller and winch assembly are worn out.
I got a replacement winch assy at fishermans supply. It was pretty cheap and installs pretty easy. I would like to know about a replacement backroller myself, mine is bent and doesnt roll anymore

You may consider replacing the baqck roller with a piece of plastic. On my trailer, the roller is replaced with a thick black plastic covering. You might check this out at the Alumaweld dealers. It works well for me.

Bill, winch i have replaced on mine a couple times. Both GI joes and FMS has those and easy to do. What brand of trailer is yours. Mine is a shorelander and the roller was metal on metal from day one which I had my brother-in-law repair. FOP used some uvmh bearings on his, do a search maybe you coul find it, nice job. Be glad to help on the roller or you could look at the repair on mine.

Thanks for the replies.
And Wet_Willy, I had thought there was enough differances in our monikers to not cause confusion. Sorry
