Now that we have a dock for our boat we don't trailer it anymore except to
tuck it away at the end of the season or when we want to bring it with us on
vacations.

We will be bringing the boat with us on the trailer to Put-In-Bay/South Bass
Island on Saturday for a weeks vacation on the Island, and may be launching
it from the public boat ramp when we need it rather than docking it for the
week.

You can trailer a boat to South Bass Island?

I have heard folks talk about a product called Liquid Rollers (12 oz.
aerosol, $12 retail) that is sprayed on the bunk carpeting to make them
slick, resulting in an easy loading of the boat.

WD-40 works well, and is probably the same stuff, as is Reel Magic.

They're made by two different companies, one is petroleum based and the
other is silicon based.

Odd, both my can of WD-40 and Blakemore's Reel Magic both say "contains
petroleum distillates", and they smell exactly the same. I'll have to
look into that!

Which is to say, kerosene in a spray can. Ten cents for the kerosene,
$2.90 for the packaging.

Liquid Rollers...............It turns out to be a can of silicone with some
pretty nasty propellants and solvents.

Lesson learned. ;-)

Yup...do it the cheap 'down east' way. Liquid dish soap... that's what
I'll use.

Most so-called "silicone" sprays are just a few drops of actual silicone in
a bulk of mineral spirits.

No more true than your statement that WD-40 is Kerosene. See he
http://www.wd40.com/Brands/wd40_faqs.html

Which in part states:

What does WD-40 contain?
While the ingredients in WD-40 are secret, we can tell you what WD-40
does NOT contain. WD-40 does not contain silicone, kerosene, water,
wax, graphite, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or any known cancer-causing
agents.

Nope.
