Do these roller guides work for 22' heavy gauge aluminum boats without any flex? Will it keep the back of the boat from swaying even a little bit?

yes they will work. I have a 4000 lb fiberglass sea ray and they work well. One suggestion would be to run a bolt thru them at the trailer after you have them adjusted so there is no chance of them rolling forward or back with the heavy boat weight.

The are pretty solid. I have them on an easy load trailer with an 18' fiberglass runabout. I have about 2" play on each side. To make them "tight" it would depend how far you could slide them in on your trailer on each side, and how wide your boat is.

Kenneth-I am using my drift anchors on a 16 foot boat. I am not sure what size you might need for a bigger boat. I would imagine it depends on the type of lake and conditions you encounter. I "googled" for information before I purchased mine so that might be a good source. Sorry I cannot be of more help.Bob Watson

I would not use these for anything that is suspended, like a heavy car. These are a lighter jack and work great for additional support to balance or keep a trailer from rocking. I used them on a trailer with single axle to keep the trailer from tipping back with too much weight in the wrong places since I was working on the surface of the trailer and walking around. They would work also on RV trailers to stabilize the movement of the trailer when parked.....

I have a 15 foot all welded aluminum boat which is quite heavy. My MK Endura Max 55 pushes it with no problem at a fairly decent rate of speed. We also have weeds in our lakes and deals with that issue quite well by occasionally cleaning the prop. I don't expect you will have anything to worry about in your situation as it has a variable speed control.

I use a 10# fluke anchor on a 15' whaler type boat with very thin 1/8" nylon line. works great. Love it. But I am only on lakes . It's made to be use with line no larger than 1/2" . It's just a simple cam lock system like something used on a sailboat. It should work fine.

Yes it will work. I bought two additional flexible connections tie downs at a hardware store to help hold the cart in place when I roil over deep sand. I use the belt that is attached to the cart as a front support and the two additional flex connections in the back to hold the cart in place. You attach the cart in the middle of the kayak then when you lift the front of the kayak the weight is balanced so as you pull it you are not then holding up the full weight of the kayak because it is being balanced by the cart. I open the cart up set it next to the kayak then lift the front of the kayak and set it on the cart tie it in place and you are ready to go.

Pretty much just like they say they will - they will decrease time to plane, they will increase stability and reduce porpoising. I only have an 18" boat so the effect may be slightly less than on yours. But I'm totally happy with them. A lot of bang for ya buck.

Yes, i believe that woukd work, it cones with really strong adhesive tape. The only issue i see is that these are wheels that only roll forward and back, these are not casters that let you roll anywhere. It might be a hassle. These arent for ultra heavy weights. Id take some extra duct tape with, just in case its needed.

We use this with 2 kayaks on our CRV that we tow behind the motorhome. We do not notice any cross-wind effect and stop regularly to check the tighteners. They have never needed major adjusting.

I have these as the support system. These will work if the railings are of the proper size, Arnall's Standard Arch Support System for Pontoon Covers by Extreme Marine Products, which I ordered from Amazon. If your railings don't support this, they have systems with straps going bow to stern. I bought the 21-24ft pontoon boat cover. For a 20 ft boat I think this would be too big, I would look for a smaller one

Yes I have a 14 foot canoe and did not install the roller on top. I lay the canoe upside down and installed the black rails sideways above the red bars. Works great

I have two of these on my boat and love them,I have 18lb anchors,I think you would be fine ,they do flex some but i think pretty much unbreakable,they have some new materials today that really is remarkable.Tom hampton another fisherman in michgan

I ordered a set of these for my 16' Lund...it has 1 & 1/2" rails (across the top). The clamps open to max 1 & 7/8" and measure 3 inches wide (from bow to stern) and seem to work just fine. You must clamp them down hard since they seem to tip when catching large fish but definitely won't come off the boat!

My boat has 6 "Scotty" mounts on the side rails and I have no problem moving my 4 "Scotty Power Lock Rod Holders" in and out of any of the holders. I'm pretty sure that they are manufacturer specific tho. Hope this helps!

Hey Tom: I'm not sure personally that I would trust clamps to hold this on, especially if you are hauling a canoe or kayak(s), which could catch a lot of wind and create significant shearing force that could destabilize the rack and cause it to slide off. I'm not physics major or engineer, but that's my two cents.

I can't get to the boat trailer right now but I set the horizontal gap (between boat & Fulton Roller) at 1/2 inch Total. That was plenty to assure the correct boat position with a reasonable amount of control when loading the boat on the trailer. There was plenty of adjustment left too. My trailer is a tandem load right and my Deck boat is 8 !/2 Ft wide. Hope this helps you.

I would not use a two piece rod for trolling. I think the drag from the boat and the down planer may put to much stress on the joints
