I think problem some folks have with the "Bump" is that they wait too long after they pull out and the bunks dry out. Bump as soon as you get level. 5 mph should be more that enough. Also I have bunks covered with long shag carpet which stay wet longer. Bump along ya'll... Fair Winds and Full Sails...Old Salt

My experience is that 10 mph works better than 5 mph. I have some "texture" with my barrier coat paint and no sort of lubrication other than the water the trailer was dunked in when loading the boat. A smooth bottom may make the bump work better at slower speed...(come on Stephen...I am setting you up with this one... )

YMMV.

As my wise engineer father told me so many times, and as I've oft repeated here.... the cure nearly everything in life is proper lubrication.
