From past customers we have found that the TeeNee trailers use a three inch keel roller like the part # YR300Y. That being said I would need to see a picture of your setup to give you the best options we have.

I did some research on your Tee Nee trailer and it looks like there are a few different styles that will affect the type of brackets that you will use.

If you have frame rails that run perpendicular to the boat, then I recommend using a set of angle mounting brackets like part # CE10211G. These brackets can be mounted at any width to fit your rollers and use a 1/2 inch diameter roller shaft. The shortest 1/2 inch diameter roller shaft we carry is part # CE10700A, which should work well with your 3 inch rollers.

If your rollers are in poor shape, I recommend replacing them with slightly longer keel rollers like our Yates V Keel Roller, # YR5213-4P, if you have space available. You can use the same angle brackets, but you will need a longer roller shaft like part # CE10701A.

If the rollers mount to one center beam that runs parallel to the boat, then I recommend using the CE Smith Adjustable Mounting Brackets for Keel Rollers, # CE32004G. These brackets would bolt around the center beam and use a 5/8 inch diameter roller shaft. Depending on the width of the center beam, you may need longer rollers to use this bracket. If your trailer has the center beam, I would be happy to provide a roller and roller shaft recommendation if you can tell me the width of the beam.
