Typically installed upright on the rear and middle crossmembers of a boat trailer, keel roller panel bracket assemblies help to keep the boat moving while it is being loaded and to stabilize the keel.


Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding.

It works great guiding my boat onto trailer



by:

This item was a replacement for the existing item on the trailer. The item went on smoothly and I have had no issues with it.



by:

Heavy duty galvanized frame and rubber roller. Better quality the the OEM on my trailer.



by:

Well, this roller is fine, but ALL my dealings with you folks have been wonderful.

I've bought hitches and wiring and when my tow car had a bad battery and I thought it was the harness, you sent me a replacement right away...which I promptly sent back!

Thanks for being that rare thing....a business who cares about their customers.

I will always come back to you in the future....

Hitch and wiring by trailer.....!



by:

Looked for roller to add to my "goalpost" bed extender to make loading & unloading my canoe and row boat.
This item was perfect, very substantial construction.
Just used 2 U bolts to attach.



by:

just what i needed to keep my boat straight on my trailer. easy ordering and fast shipping.



by:

Quality products and excellent people on your team



by:

Probably didn't need it, but I put it on my jet ski trailer to ensure the weight of my ski was spread out equally on the bottom of the jet ski. Very easy to install.



by:

I just installed the roller assembly on my utility trailer and found it to be a well constructed item. I expect it will assist me in getting my boat in and out of the water.



by:

Works perfect for my custom made Kayak rack.



by:

Center V roller for a 14' skiff works very well



by:

Happy with the purchase. I am handicapped and the reason on bought it was to help my wife load the boat. So far it looks like it will work perfect for what I want it to do.



by:

This v-roller is very well constructed out of heavy metal. It bolted right up to my boat.
Very quick delivery.

by:

Excellent experience! Everything was just as described installed them on the trailer everything works perfect can't believe how fast I got everything! Thank you for your time outstanding service.



by:

George, I'm happy to evaluate this part for you, it solved my problem and preformed well. Although I was much happier once this problem was solved I am much happier now, in fact I can remember when that was, it was before I owned my boat and trailer. Now that it's sold I have so much extra time on my hands that I even have time to answer requests for part evaluations. Since then Jim M, the individual that purchased said items has asked me for recommendations on trailer replacement parts and I recomendaed Etrailer to him and he now has the obligation of keeping you in orders for parts.

by:

Great roller, just what I needed to get my trailer back in shape.



by:

So far,great items for our application. Will make it much easier to roll our kayaks onto the ladder rack. Now, all we need is an idea for a pulley system to lift them up to the rollers!!! Mature people need all the help they can get!!

Thank you, etrailer, for your fast and efficient employees. The nice woman we spoke to understood what we wanted and had them shipped quickly as we were going to head out on our vacation very soon after we ordered.



by:

Easy mounting and works okay. I just wish the vee was deeper to help guide the boat when winching the boat onto the trailer.



by:

Put this on the rear of my trailer last year as a solution for shallow water launching of the boat so that there's an area for me to line up the keel of my skiff and allow me to get it back on the trailer when I otherwise can't get the bunks wet. Works perfect!



by:

Very nice, heavy duty. etrailer is the best.



by:

Just finished installing the class 3 trailer hitch on my 2011 Chevy Silverado . I can honestly say this hitch seems to be better quality than the factory one that had to come out because of rot holes in it also the matte finish seems like it will hold up better



by:

They was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you



by:

Fast shipping. Only problem was one part was back ordered. I got an email about the back order right a way and tried to change the item to another that would ship sooner. The link was simple but did not work, I’m not sure if there was another step to take or what, it just wasn’t clear. I needed to call to get the part swapped. The phone lambrthret was extensive and time consuming.
But in the end I’m happy with what I got.



by:

I have been looking for this boat trailer keel roller for some time now (at retail) with no luck. Found it on etrailer.com (why didn't I think of this sooner) and the agent helped me with the perfect fit/size in no time at all. Great team. High quality product.



by:

  • V Keel Roller Recommendation for a Gregor Fishing Boat
    Based on what you said you are looking for I think your best option would be the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly # CE10401G. This is a 5 inch V keel roller that will be within 3 inches above the frame and it actually costs less than the Ce Smith CE Smith Keel Roller # CE32003G that you referenced.

  • Recommended Tires, Brake Assemblies, And Hubs For 2004 Venture Boat Trailer
    For your 2004 Venture Trailer, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-K. This comes with the bearings and seal you need. For your hydraulic brake assemblies, I recommend the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 12" - Left/Right Hand - 5.2K to 7K # AKFBBRK-7-D.

  • Should Boat Rest on Bunk Boards or Keel Rollers on Boat Trailer
    The majority of the weight of your boat should be supported by the bunk boards or by roller bunks. When the article referenced rollers it did not mean keel rollers. Keel rollers like the # CE10401G can hold the weight of the boat when loading and unloading, and also provide great support for the keel and absorb road shock. However, they should not hold the majority of the weight of your boat on the trailer. In addition to keel rollers you will also want to use bunk boards like the # CE27840...

  • Will CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly # CE10401G Fit In 5-Inch Opening
    I went to our warehouse and measured the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly, part # CE10401G. The roller bracket measures 5-1/2 inches wide. The width of the roller pin with the caps on is 6-1/4 inches. This roller assembly will not fit in the 5-inch opening you said you have. I recommend you go with the 4 inch roller, part # CE10400G. The # CE10400G bracket measures 4-1/2 inches wide and is 6 inches long.

  • Keel Roller For Transom Saver On Boat Trailer
    CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers - 5" # CE10401G is an assembly that won't take up a lot of room and still allow you to attach a transom saver. You would need to provide your own hardware for mounting to your trailer. I attached a link to our Transom Savers if you need one.

  • Recommended Keel Rollers to Replace Worn Rollers on Boat Trailer
    Looking at the picture you attached (thank you!), it appears that the weight of your boat might be putting too much pressure on your existing keel rollers, which has caused them to wear down to the point of them not functioning like they should. I definitely recommend replacing the existing rollers because of the visible damage, but I also recommend adding a couple more rows to your trailer to support the other two keels on the boat. This will help to better disperse its weight so you don't...

  • Recommended Roller Bunks for 2020 18 Express Boat with Back Track Aluminum Trailer
    The best option in my opinion is to use the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk - 5' Long Sections - 12 Sets of 3 Rollers # DL21741 which will allow you to angle the set farther up the trailer to help you center the hull but I recommend using a keel roller like the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel/Black Rubber - 5" # CE10401G to help center the boat.

  • Solution for a 5 inch Bow Roller Assembly
    I have a 5 inch roller, but the largest Bow Roller Assembly that we offer is a 4 inch, like part # YR450Y-400Y. The CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly # CE10401G is 5 inches and will accomplish the same task that a bow roller will. The only difference that you will need to consider is that the shank diameter for the 4 inch bow rollers is 1/2 inch while the keel rollers use 5/8 inch diameter shafts. You can take your old assembly off and mount this assembly if the 5/8 inch diameter shaft...

  • Availability of Flat 5 Inch Boat Trailer Keel Roller
    We don't offer a flat roller assembly, but the 5 inch # CE10401G assembly has a roller that's more flat that might work well for you. The flatter profile would spread more of the boat's weight out over a larger area.

  • How Much Shaft is Used When Installing Roller with Palnuts
    To give you an idea how much length of a shaft the # CE10801 takes up the part # CE10401G is a roller assembly that holds a 5 inch long roller and the shaft length is overall 6-1/4 inches. So that means you pick out the shaft length by adding 1-1/4 inches to the length of the roller you are using. This setup uses the same palnuts.

  • Compatibility of Boat Trailer with Boston Whaler Sport
    Your trailer sounds like it will work just fine based on the dimensions and weight you gave. I simply recommend putting the bunks up as high as possible for your initial loading onto the trailer because the underside of your boat from my research has a deep groove on each side where those bunks sit. Make sure the bunks are in the depth of the groove and the outside bottom of the groove is either over the fender or inside it. If you need taller supports you can adjust the height. We...

  • Keel Roller Assembly to Fit 3 Inch Wide Trailer Tongue on 2004 McClain Boat Trailer
    I have a solution for you, but since the center to center space of the mounting slots on the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller, 5 Inches # CE10401G measures 3 inches, the roller will not mount to your 3 inch wide trailer frame. There will not be enough room to attach the roller bracket to the frame. Instead, I recommend using the CE Smith Spool Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers, 4 Inches # CE10400G. This roller's mounting slots are 2 inches apart on center, which will give you sufficient room...

  • Replacement for a 4-1/2" Long Keel Roller on a Boat Trailer
    The 4-1/2" keel roller is a size commonly found in Australia. You might consider switching to the 5" Keel Roller Assembly # CE10401G so that you will be able to find parts more easily find a replacement Roller # YR5213-5 in the future.

  • Replacement Roller Assembly for Deep-V Style Boat Trailer
    If you just want to replace the roller assembly you have now then the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10401G is what I recommend. However, if you are having trouble aligning with the roller then you might want to consider a larger roller assembly like the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly part # CE10403G which is 8" wide. These options will both work great with your deep v style hull. In order to attach either option you can reuse the mounting hardware that you have now.

  • Roller For Use With Tourney Pro Transom Saver
    The right roller will depend on the frame of your boat trailer for use with the Tourney Pro Transom Saver # 315-FXJ. For example, you can go with the Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers # CE10401G and the 3-13/16" Long x 3-1/16" Wide CE Smith U-Bolts # CE15283GA-2. If those aren't the right size U-bolts I've added a link below to our entire selection which you can filter through by size.
