Silicone trailer bunk lube

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Anyone know where I can get some silicone bunk lube to spray on my trailer bunks? I saw a product on Overton's web-site that came in a spray bottle. I was going to order it but they want to much for freight/handling.

I've heard of guys using regular silicone spray ---- of course what you spray on your bunks will end up in your lakes. I don't treat my bunks with anything, just back the trailer in deep enough to float off the boat when launching, and back in enough so the bunks get wet when loading.

I would be a little worried about the spray attracting dirt and dust and then causing damage to the hull. Just my gut feelings here. Never tried any products out there.

Regular 100% silicone. Any hardware store. Let your trailer sit in the sun and get dry and hot. Spray the whole can into your bunks. Let the solvents flash off for a while. Be careful. Trailer will slide off almost like it was a roller trailer. Repeat every year. A must for low water launching. Much cheaper than a K-D launcher trailer. Never had a problem with attracting dirt. I have been doing for over 10 years.

I have used 100% Silicone spray for years and my brother squirts liquid dish soap on his bunks and swears by it.

Yeah I do the same now, however I have to back in so far that there is no way to work the crank without getting very wet. So I'm thinking I won't need to back in so far with the lube on the bunks.

Last year the south launch on Prior lake is so shallow that I had a hard time even getting the boat off unless I drove way into the lake. Then I can't get out of the truck.
