E-Z slide pads.

Anybody have E-Z slide pads on there tin boat trailer?

I do. I have a 12' jon and I use it in salt water so I don't put the trailer in the water since the boat/motor is so light. That way of course the trailer will last forever. I found that using the pads helps slide it on and off much easier. The back pads I extended slightly past the bunker and I use that part as the "Ramp" when pulling the boat up on the trailer. It also protects the carpet at the rear area. Prior to the pads I was constantly repairing/duct taping the carpet. Also with the pads I rarely use the winch. Well worth the money.

Hey thanks for your input,

I also use my skiff in salt water most of the time. I put the pads on because I didn't want wet salt water carpet against the aluminum hull with no way to drain. I've seen it eat up an aluminum hull. I have 2 thick coats of steel flex on the bottom of the hull but I still didn't want to take any chances.
