This roller assembly supports your boat's keel for easy loading and safe transport on your trailer. Its 8-inch, yellow TPR spool roller won't mark your boat, and the galvanized steel panel bracket has slotted mounting holes for adjustability.
Features:
Specs:
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.

Excellent! This is a very high quality roller and serves to protect my boat from many potential knicks and bruises. Easy to install.
Great price for such impressive quality.
While not an exact replacement for my 64 year old trailer, a very strong and functional piece!
Exactly what I expected. Product was shipped and received quickly. Have already installed on my boat trailer.
This part is performing very well. I have a Lund Fury. With this part, the boat is much easier to launch and load onto the trailer. The boat doesn’t hang up on the trailer center cross member any more and this part lines up the boat for loading. The trailer should come with this part standard.
This V keel roller works great. I needed a little lift on the boat to get into the front mount for securement. I built a crossmember across the trailer to mount the roller. I like it where as it does not leave marks on the boat. The bracket is built very well and has lots of adjustment.
I really appreciate all these CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assemblies. I am creating my own roller system for use loading and unloading my Zodiac inflatable with 20 HP outboard and these work the best on a transportable roller setup between my utility trailer or just rolling into the back of my pickup.
My boat trailer had teflon skid plates on the cross beams instead of rollers. The stern of the boat was supported with bunks. One skid plate was damaged, and cut through the gel coat of my 22 Robalo's keel. Bummer. I decided to replace with non marring rollers. I chose the C E Smith CE10453G rollers. The crew at etrailer helped me decide by emailing me information on height to center of rollers, and weight distribution on the rollers. A great experience dealing with the techs and specialists at etrailer. The rollers are very heavily galvanized and solidly built. They bolt onto the cross members of the trailer quite easily with U Bolts (not supplied). These rollers not only helped unloading of my 4000 lb boat, it has taken the risk of damaging the keel out of play. Best money I have spent in a while! I ordered them online, and they were on my porch in 4 days. Great product, fast shipping, and great customer service !!!!!
Good strong keel roller. Zinc plating looks to be about 1mm thick which is plenty, so I expect rust to be a non issue.

Keeps on rolling, no rust, a very robust product, no flat spots in the polymer part.
The keel roller is heavy and well made. I bought it to replace the carpet covered bow bunk on my boat trailer. I was able to slightly bend the trailer's supports so that the holes line up with the roller's mounting slots. Now I need to buy 2 bolts to mount it. My boat is currently in the water for the summer and won't be loaded on the trailer until fall. I will report how that goes later.
Went together very well, thought I might have to use a backing plate but the frame is plenty strong enough. Works very well, should have installed one of these years ago.
By installing this took strain off of the wench and crank handle, very easy to bring the boat up to the Bow pulley.
etrailer.com is a great company to do business with, fair pricing, good quality and excellent customer service. I need to replace this roller every few years as it wears through but does a good job in protecting the keel on my boat. Would be 5 stars if it lasted a little longer.
I bought three of these rollers. I also bought two 5 foot roller bunks. Everything arrived promptly and in good shape. These rollers are just as described. I look forward to rebuilding my trailer.
Purchase was easy and effective. On-line info was accurate for making purchasing decisions. Product has functioned flawlessly for a year.
Exactly as described, the etrailer folks were out of the black rubber model and I think they let me substitute the yellow TPR model for the same cost. Delivered within just a couple days of being ordered.
Every item I ordered a year ago has performed flawlessly! Noteworthy is the tire gauge by Slime. Awesome tire gauge.
My rollers were shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition. They are very well made, heavy duty and roll smoothly. I would use etrailer.com again without question.
Works perfectly to center the boat on the trailer.
Parts delivered on schedule & all in good order.
Quality & material matched what were descripted in the web page.
100% satisfied & will recommend etrailer.com to anyone.

Great guality product! I have to bore holes in trailer rail to mount the size I ordered.

After a year this roller is still performing great after launching and loading over 30 times.
