A keel roller is not designed to carry the bulk of a boat's weight. That is the job of the bunks, whether they are wobble roller bunks like yours, standard roller bunks or carpeted bunks. Also, it is not a good idea to mount any of these boat support components to the trailer axles. Doing so would allow the forces from bumps to be transmitted directly to the boat's hull. All items that support the boat itself should be mounted to the trailer frame, which is then isolated from the road by the trailer's suspension.
I see that your trailer uses wobble roller bunks to support the bulk of the boat's weight. These make for easier loading than standard carpeted bunks.
We do offer keel rollers as well as replacement wobble roller wheels. I have linked at right our pages for wobble rollers, keel rollers and for all roller and bunk parts.
