What Is Weight Capacity Of Yates Keel Roller For Boat Trailers
Question:
After seeing these rollers, I am concerned that they are not strong enough to support my boat properly, what is their load rating? Our boat is 3800 lbs, the motor is 800, boat is 22 ft. Thanks

I called my contact at Yates Rubber and asked about the Keel Roller for Boat Trailers, part # YR1200Y. They told me that the weight capacity is 400 lbs. They also said that they are typically used to help as a guide and the bunks normally handle the bulk of the boat and motor weight.
I recommend roller bunks like part # DL21741. These are 5 ft long roller bunks that can be attached to your wooden bunks on the trailer or attached to the trailer frame. These roller bunks have a weight capacity of 3,000 lbs. If your keel rollers are supporting the weight of your boat you may want to raise the bunk rollers a bit which will be accomplished with the roller bunks.
If 4 ft long roller bunks are needed you would need part # DL21740.
