new trailer deck - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

I just purchased my first snowmobile trailer. It is a split deck ride on/off with a decent wood deck. they gave me 4 plastic 6" wide runners that are not attached. Should these be used to run the track up on or as ski guides or platforms under the skies.
I guess the deck will get slick without anything for the track to get traction on. Should I get some kind of rubber material.
Looking for suggestions

Thanks
Tyee

Yep! Rubber like a convaor belt! Use the runners for the ski's!
Hey I just put my new sled into my big trailor! I used truck bed roll on bed liner on the floor and ramps! WOW is it cool!

Sounds like a good idea kc. How much for the liner materials? That is pretty rugged stuff they use for that.

About $400! But it a large enclosed trailor! Zebart wanted almost a Grand!

Wow, then for that price, I could do my small 2 place trailer and my pick-up bed,lol.

8' bed is like $100! 2 place open like $80!

Awesome, what brand did you use or where from Kc? I think I want to pick it up this weekend if possible.

Heculiner at Menards! The only thing I messed up was Get a paint stirer for an electric drill and keep it mixed!

The 6" wide pieces are definitely ski slides/guides. I run SuperGuides that have a grip pattern on them so you can get off your sled and walk down the trailer/ramp and not slip and slide. Bedlining your deck is not a bad idea, a friend of mine has it. His only complaint is that if snow melts on the deck and gets icy it fills the little pebbling the surface has and his sled still can't bet enough traction to get up the trailer. I used an old track cut up into pieces on mine, and he's going to do the same. The inch high lugs gives my sleds plenty to grab on to.

I've attached a link to a pic of the trailer if you like to see it.

happy trails!!!!
