What's everybody using for rollers on your prop stick?  I'm looking for something lighter than trailer rollers.

Had one on a tug I worked on.  Had some kind of air operated foot "bulb" you would squish to get the rollers going.  It swung out over the wash tub.

For trolines, we just had a 2x , slightly rounded over on the end, nailed to the transom top and rail and either nails or wood dowels for the line to go between.  When we were kids, 200' of line felt like a mile long.
