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.

Good fit, fast service.
Everything worked, and looks great. If I need any other trailer parts, will definitely order them from here. Parts were package safely and arrived damage free. Great prices and great service.
Etrailer always has what I need at any time I go to work on all of my equipment Thanks very much
The roller fit perfectly on my 25’ boat trailer but got worn out and the shaft bent pretty quick; it needed to be replaced after a couple of short trips.
Have had for a year. Does what it’s supposed to.
Purchased this and will have to hacksaw in half because I couldn't find 2 suitable shafts for 4" roller. Mirror surface provides for smooth roller rotation.
You have a good selection of
Products, and better than expected shipping process. I am pleased with the items that. I purchased, and will buy from you if the need arises again. Thank you
Love your selection and prices.Here is my drag boat and my helper.Customer service is excellent!!!
My keel rollers needed to be replaced on my boat trailer so I ordered the rollers with new roller shafts with pal nuts. I am sure glad I did. When I got around to changing them out, my old roller shafts were rusted and bent. These were a perfect fit and I expect they will last a long, long time.
Easy peasy
The roller worked perfectly for the trailer I was redoing. I also bought a couple of other parts that I needed they have great products, quick shipping and excellent customer service. Will keep buying all of my trailer parts from here

The demensions were perfect as the were on the order.Fast

I am very pleased with the rollers and hubs that I purchased. They were easy to install on the trailer and have worked well for the past year.
As always, etrailer came through for me. They answered questions and concerns about the product of my interest - V keel rollers for my trailer - and confidently assured me that their product would work for me. The rollers arrived in two days, are of good quality, and fit perfectly. Thanks again etrailer!
Shafts with pins rather than caps would have been better. I am contemplating getting washers and pins and drilling holes in the shaft ends to get a better fit. The caps make me a little nervous although I have to assume the design has been tested and have stood the test of time.
Great products just wish the shipping end would of kept the box in better condition. Appreciate all the customer service I’ve received and will be using the company soon for another trailer!
These roller shafts are just as they are described. same quality as the more expensive ones sold by others. I'm very pleased with them and all the products I ordered.
Ordered ten 10" rollers and roller shafts for my boat trailer. Arrived sooner than I expected and I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the service from etrailer. Will use them again for my trailer needs.
Received order with one item short. etrailer immediately corrected the problem and shipped me the missing parts.
For the price of those items could not have gotton a better deal anywhere else. Good quality. Will not shop anywhere else for my boat trailer needs!
