Looking for Carpeted V Guides to replace Rubber Guide

[dkimball]

Anyone know of a place to get a carpeted V-Guide that I can replace the red rubber guide on my trailer (Picture below). The rubber guide leaves marks and I would prefer carpet. The only thing I can find is this: http://www.sturdybuiltonline.com/Bow...st_p_1425.html which is pretty expensive. I was thinking of just buying a new thicker rubber one: https://www.etrailer.com/Boat-Traile...dline/862.html and attaching some carpet to it

amazon, etrailer, west marine.....you can get them anywhere with a little search.

srock I haven't seen any carpeted ones that would fit where the rubber one is I have shown in the picture. I have searched and the only carpeted ones I have found are what are in the above link for around $130 which seems a little expensive for my application. The boat doesn't rest on this guide it just prevents the boat during loading from hitting the trailer.

oh my mistake. I replaced a similar colored but roller with new because it would not roll resulting in it leaving marks and they were a bear to remove. The new roller solved the problem. I don't know if its because it is new or a different compound...it still does not roll but it resolved my problem.

I would get a thermoplastic one like below. It shouldn't mark up the boat like rubber one will.
