Prop Guard Wheels

[OKWAKEBDR]

I have an '05 210 TE with a Dorsey double axle trailer. I have a pretty bad problem with the prop guard scraping the ground. If I use a lower ball on my truck, then the trailer hits the ground near the spare tire mount. I was hoping to get soem prop guard rollers, or wheels, or something, but all Dorsey offers is the kind that must be welded on. I would like to find something that I can simply bolt on myself. (i.e. drill a couple of holes and bolt them on). Anyone have any suggestions?

Larger tires, or find a trailer or welding/fabricating shop in OKC

Guys at DHM are very good, call em if you got questions. The mounts might be the wrong angle for your prop cage, but could work anyway.

I added the prop cage roller wheels (catstor style) to my trailer. I still have the orignal stainless steel cage rollers and they seem to hit first before the caster style wheels do. I guess when you trun real sharp the castor style wheels work real well. But when you back straight up the stainless steel rollers hit

That's exactly what I'm looking for, except I'd prefer something that bolts on. I may be able to go with the dhm rollers to mine, but I will have to have the mount modified (my prop cage is on a 90 degree angle).

Thanks guys.

DHM has Weld on AND bolt on castor wheels

I got a pair of these marine rollers for my boat. They are the weld-on type, but they also make bolt-on rollers. Having them welded on with angle brackets was very inexpensive.

buy some weld-ons, drill a couple of holes through the mounts and run a bolt though them

I had the same problem and tried rollers on the back of my trailer, but when you make a sharp turn, the rollers dont roll well and scrape the pavement. I ended up getting my trailer altered by pulling a 3 inch block between my axle and leaf springs. This lifted the trailer up, gave me more prop guard clearance and more clearance betweeen tires and wheel well. Worked well for me.

Unfortunately, that's not really an option...if my trailer were any taller, my boat wouldn't fit under the garage door.

Feeling dumb. Didn't give you a link, a picture or anything in my post above. Just in case you're still looking.

I also did a lift on my trailer. About 2". I want my drag wheels to see use, but not on the driveway as they will shred it. Unfortunately, packtron doesn't make poly rollers.

Here's the drag wheels right after the trailer refurb before the final coat of paint.
