I've don't like backing my trailer far enough down the ramp to get the bunks wet because I don't want to dunk my truck's rear wheels/brakes/exhaust into the salt water. I guess this wouldn't happen if the ramp is really steep, but the one I use is not. Instead, every so often, I take a can of CRC silicone spray from wally world and I spray the bunks down after a day of fishing before I load the boat back on. With the trailer down in the water as far as I can go without getting my truck wet, and the trailer fenders still above the water level, I can crank my 190 Bay up onto the trailer centered perfectly on the bunks slick as can be. It also helps when I launch. I disconnect the safety chain and winch strap once the trailer wheels enter the water and as I back down my boat starts to slide off the trailer as soon as it hits the water. Before I started using silicone spray I used to have to almost sink the entire trailer in order to float the boat off.

I kind of like that silicone idea. I don't suppose the propellant or some ingredient in the silicone will eventually eat up the carpet though, will it?
How long have you been doing it?
