Hi there boat trailer owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at CE Smith's replacement keel roller rods. And this is what our replacement roller rod's going to look like. These are available in either two different diameters, whether it be five eighths, like we have here or half inch, you just want to match it up to your old one. And they're also available in varying lengths. So that way you can get the proper span for your particular trailer.
And all of them are zinc coated to protect them from rusting corrosion, which is very common on your boat trailers since you're pulling it in and out of the boat dock all the time, you're next to the Lake. They often get wet. So this way we can ensure that we're going to have long lasting operation of this rod, and it's not going to seize up inside of here due to rust and corrosion.Also included with it you'll receive cap nuts for each side of your rod. And these are nice because once you press them on there, they're pretty much a permanent fit, you have to really try to get them off of there. And since this is a roller, it doesn't ever really get forces side to side, but we don't want to use regular thread on nuts on something like this since it does roll.
That could potentially cause the nuts to back off. So this is an ideal solution. If your old keel roller or keel roller rod are worn out and need replacement, the replacement shaft here is going to be a great option for you because it's kind of a one use thing, unless you can get yourself some new cap nuts. And even if you do get new cabinets, if it's heavily corroded and worn down, those cap nuts may not fit as tight and as properly as they used to.So when replacing your keel roller, when it's wore out, I highly recommend also replacing the keel roller rod. The rod is going to be made of solid steel with a zinc coating.
So it's going to be extremely durable holding up the weight that is pressed down from the boat sitting on it there. And the zinc coat is going to protect it against rust and corrosion. If your keel roller is worn out. And that's why you're looking at getting replacements. We also carry the keel rollers here at etrailer.com.
So you can get a set up just like this. You can see how nice and smooth it is, and we've got a nice surface for our boat to rest on.Today we're going to be replacing the keel roller's shaft because our key roller's all damaged up and in order to get the roller off, we have to take the shaft out and the nuts typically get damaged and are not reusable. So we're just going to be replacing it all as an assembly. Start by removing our roller's nuts. We're just going to get behind it with a pair of pliers. We're just going to pop that cap off of there. inaudible 00:02:18. Our shaft will then slide out. We can remove our roller and then install our new components. We've got our shaft here and I find it easier to get one cap nut on first. So we're just going to set that on top and we're just going to hammer it into place. I'm going to use a rubber mallet just to help minimize how much dings I make on the little cap. And it's really that simple. And you can see here, there's no way I'm going to push this off. If I wanted to get this off of here, I would almost have to take another hammer and smash it off of there because you're just not going to be able to pull it off. Now we can just take our roller. We're going to set it into place. Slide our rod all the way through the roller, until it comes out on the other side. We'll then take our cap, we're going to set it into place. Now that we got it just barely started. We're going to finish tapping it on. I'm going to use a hammer on the other side, because it might hurt your hip or something else if you're holding it. And we can see our shaft spins, our roller spins and it's nice and solid, it's not going anywhere. Thought you need a hatchet. And that completes our look at CE Smith's replacement keel roller rods.

I needed new rollers for Hobie Cat 16. We live on the Saginaw Bay (Lake Huron) and built a frame to put the boat on because of the changes in water level.
I found eTrailer products on line and they had everything I needed. Their prices are the best and delivery was great too. The new rollers and shafts are heavy duty with a inner steel tube. They should last a long time.
Really fast shipping. Great company to buy from and good quality products. U need to try them and c for yourself.
So far the products are working fine.
I needed a few pieces for my old, rusty trailer that holds my old but still functioning Hobiecat. I had purchased new tires last year from etrailer.com and the service and price were both outstanding. This year when I pulled the boat out of the water a roller assembly collapsed due to the rust, and I new exactly where to go to fix it...etrailer.com!
As expected, they had the parts I needed for a great price. A new roller and assembly was easy to find on the website, and all of the necessary parts were suggested once I put the first part in my cart. Even though it was a Sunday, 2 employees separately emailed me that day that the order had been completed and shipped. The package arrived quickly and I installed the parts with no issues.
Perfect fit and works great.
I think I need to tell the BBB and let them and everyone else know how they treat their costumer's! The Lady that I was talking to "Stacy" was a great help, until I was disconnected. Then this RUDE male person who wouldn't tell me his name and didn't even try to me! What would you think
Always impressed when I order
Solid product, and well priced. This is qreat company with which to do business.
We are updating our boat trailer and ordered new keel rollers and roller shafts from etrailer. I was very pleased with the high quality products, speedy shipping and fair pricing.
Everything was as described and delivered in a timely manner.
Will definitely do business again in the future.
My trailer parts order was filled quickly and the price was the best I could find. I called the customer service line for clarification what parts I needed and the representative was great. She corrected the order that I was about to pull the trigger on for the proper matching parts. She saved me from the hassle of a return process and a lot of irritation.
Great customer service! My order arrived quickly, packaging was perfect and all of the trailer parts were exactly as described. Thanks etrailer!
the keel roller was the right size and fit great the roller shaft worked but i should have ordered a longer one, since i have 2 small rollers on the end of the 8 inch keel roller.made it work so no worries...thanks for quick delivery and great service.....Rusty
Website easy to navigate, found several choices on every item i needed. Good pricing, Free shipping on my order. Fast delivery. Installed all new rollers on my trailer new roller pins made it fast and easy
Trimmed to fit length of older roller bracket. Bright steel color remained same through cut, so not sure about galvanizing. Pal nuts on existing bracket on trailer are 2-person job.
Carla M. worked with me to make sure we had all the right parts for my boat trailer. I am quite happy with her help.
Great replacement parts for my boat trailer. Extremely easy to install and does the job...great price no regrets..
The ordering process was very easy and the parts arrived on time. I got excited that my boat was in the water and I forgot to take a picture when we installed the pats in 15 minutes at the marina.
Easy to install, and makes a huge difference what trailering and loading. Fast shipping.
fit perfect just what my boat trailer n eeded
Really fast shipping. Rollers installed within 2 hours of receiving. Exactly what I expected to get. A lot harder getting old rollers removed then installing new ones.
Could have been another 3/8" to 1/2" longer to allow for washers installed.
Satisfied with all the products will recomend to others to shop your site. For shaft,boat rollers
Etrailer was great, reciebed my shipment in 3 days and was projected 5. Web site easy to use
Very excellent service. Parts look very well made, will know more when I install.
