I want to buy the self centering rollers. I have a bunk trailer with 2 keel rollers,my question is do I replace both rollers with the self centering roller or do you just put that one at the very back of the trailer.

That would be the rear roller,,As you only have 2 rollers the front roller is a bow roller and with the majority of the boat already on the trailer it is unlikely to effect the alignment of the boat ,, Look at the placement of your bunks,,They would serve better as centering than the single aft keel roller

I have them on both of my rollers and could not be more pleased. It depends on the ramp angle which one engages first, but the boat always comes onto the trailer perfectly centered. I would put them in both spots. In my opinion, these are one of the most overlooked good things in boating. I cannot believe that anyone would not have them.
